Joe Ogilvie Happily Taking A Desk Job
/John Swantek talks to Joe Ogilvie, making the final start of his career this week in the Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield CC this week near where the Duke grad started his pro career. The clip is about 12 minutes but is an enjoyable chat with Swantex about why he's moving on.
A longtime favorite of writers and sponsors for his accessibility and thoughtful answers, the fast-playing Ogilvie is going to go into money management but plans to stay connected to the game.
Barring a big week at the Wyndham, Ogilvie will end his career with one win, 26 top 10s and just over $10 million in earnings.
**Will Gray on the end for Ogilvie.
After closing with a bogey to complete his round of 3-over 73, the magnitude of concluding a professional golf career that started in 1996 began to sink in.
“Yeah, that was the last hole,” he said. “I held it together pretty well until the 18th green, and then I was like, ‘Man, that was hard.’”
