"Despite the solid play and the large payday, Sullivan said that his performance does not make him want to return to the Tour, where he last played in 1997 and made 11 cuts in 27 events."
"Roy Biancalana, a PGA Teaching Professional at St. Andrews Golf and Country Club in West Chicago, Ill., on the other hand, is turning his winnings into a down payment on his 12th attempt to qualify for the PGA Tour."
To me, Sullivan is a Tour player who just didn't want to play the tour. If you make 11 cuts on the best golf tour in the world, then you're a tour player. Biancalana could probably of been on one of the 3 best tours in the world(Nationwide,Euro PGA, U.S. PGA, ) and maybe he did make it on one. I guess what I consider a club pro is someone who is a club pro by necessity(not because they find being on the tour too much work or family strain.) I would consider a true club pro to be someone who plays golf well, but has yet to come very close to making it as a tour player(talent-wise.)
