The generally accepted rule in payment. If someone is paid-to-play, then they are considered a professional.

Booz Allen Classic now.\nQuail Hollow Country Club (Private) – 704/552-1800\n\nOnce the site of the Kemper Open, this course in Charlotte fell out of favor with the PGA players a couple of decades ago, causing the Kemper to move to its current location at Congressional, near D.C.\n\nFazio was recently brought in by the members (one of whom is also heavily involved with the Masters Tournament) to revamp the layout, and he did a superb job, the PGA Tour will be returning to Quail Hollow this year with the second-richest purse on the tour.

The PGA tour has the q School or Qualifying school which is 3 stages then the final stage is 6 rounds.  the top 20 and ties make the PGA tour and I believe the next 25 get on the nationwide tour.  Also the top 125 on the pga money list keep their cards and the next 25 get conditional play on the tour.  The following 25 get nationwide cards.  Another way is anyone who wins a tour event gets a 2 year exemption unless it is a major then it is 10 years and the players championship gets 5 years.  But you have to play atleast 15 tournaments in a year to keep the card. The top 20 finishers on the nationwide money list also get a card to the PGA tour.  Also if you are in the top 50 alltime money list you can use a one time exemption if you dont Qualify any other way.  The final way to keep your card is if you have 20 career victories you get a life time exemption.  Not a tour exemptions but tournaments on the nationwide tour not so much the PGA anymore also have monday qualifiers for people who havent qualified for the tournament.  But usually its like 30 people going for 1 spot.

Almost every team in the Conference National is full time professional, so their players will earn decent wages. \n\nBut below that, most teams are semi-professional and their players all have other full time jobs, so they train maybe three nights a week after work. An average wage for most players at Rymans Premier level would be around £140 per week, with additional win bonuses. The richer clubs normally can afford to pay better wages, and former professionals would usually get more as well.\n\nActually, £10 entrance in the Rymans Premier League is excessive. Clubs at this level charge between £9 and £7 to stand.

MLB has the highest average salaries, I believe, at $2.5-$3 million.  The NFL has average salaries close to $1.5 million.  The NBA and NHL are also in the $1-2 million range.  I'm quoting these from memory, as I've seen the numbers before, but they may have changed since I read the article.\n\nNote that the best players get payed quite a bit more than that (some are over $20 million).  All of the leagues have minimum salaries in the $300k-$500k range.

Each player in the wild-card playoff round earns $17,000 and another $19,000 for the divisional playoff round. Each player in the AFC championship game makes $37,000.\n\nThe winner of the Super Bowl then makes another $73,000, while the loser earns $38,000.\n\nWith the contracts today, this is probably less than just about everyone's per-game paycheck during the regular season.

They are paid in US dollars, if they make it themselves, it's counterfeiting.\nSeriously, NBA referees are paid somewhere between $90,000 and $225,000 per season, depending upon experience and Post season assignments.

yes, it is... and they even have disc golf professionals, like ken climo... only downside is that since it isn't well known, it's not high paying if you enter the pro circuit.  but it is a sport.

It depends on the type of contract - many players have split contracts that say something like "Player X will earn $330,000/yr if on the major league roster and $50,000 if in the minor leagues."  This is fairly common with players who are early in their career, who are also the only ones who can be sent to the minors without their approval.
