Ex-Super Eagles player Odemwingie turns professional golfer
A former Super Eagles forward, Peter Odemwingie, is now a professional golfer following his graduation from the Professional Golfers Association school.
The PGA disclosed this in a post with a video on X.com on Tuesday.
The caption read, “Peter Odemwingie is best known for playing top-level football, scoring over 30 Premier League goals for West Bromwich Albion and representing Cardiff City and Stoke City.
“He has played in two World Cups and even won an Olympic medal in 2008. In his post-football career, he turned to golf and is now a fully-fledged PGA professional.”
In a statement on the PGA website, Odemwingie was quoted as saying, “I’m proud because I challenged myself not only to apply effort in a sport but also academically.
“It’s motivating being around people who have the drive to achieve and get this PGA Member badge on your chest! I hope my story motivates people to follow suit, whether that’s through the PGA or any other form of study.”
