Maybe Yes Sir

Joey Savoie on the cost of chasing the PGA Tour. We open with a look at what it really takes to become a professional golfer, beyond the trophies and TV coverage. Today's guest is Joey Savoie, a Quebec native who came through Golf Canada’s development system, won Canadian Men’s Amateur Golfer of the Year in 2018, turned pro in 2020, and recently earned his first PGA Tour Americas win in Ecuador while chasing Korn Ferry Tour status. This episode focuses on the business side of professional golf—the travel, entry fees, hotels, missed cuts, pressure, and the constant decision of whether the pursuit is an expense or an investment. Key topics the episode is framed around the gap between the public image of pro golf and the reality before players ever reach the PGA Tour. Joey Savoie’s path from the Golf Canada system to the national team, Middle Tennessee State, and the professional ranks. Winning in Ecuador and what that breakthrough means in the context of a long climb. The points race on PGA Tour Americas, with Joey sitting 12th and the top 10 earning Korn Ferry Tour status with one event left. The financial demands of chasing pro golf, including travel, hotels, and entry fees. The mental toll of missed cuts and the pressure to keep funding the next start. What it means to treat a golf career as an investment rather than just a cost. The sacrifices required to stay in the game long enough to create opportunity. What life on the road looks like for players trying to move up the professional ladder. Why Joey’s willingness to discuss the business side of golf makes this conversation especially useful.
