The easiest way to learn golf like a pro is by following "The Simple Golf Swing" program. It's primarily a 31 page eBook that teaches golfers how to make solid contact with the ball, how to avoid hitting fat, how to avoid slicing, how get more power, accuracy, and consistency in your swing. Consistency being the number 1 golf skill.
You not only get the eBook though, you also receive a ton of extra material including video, lessons on putting, driving, chipping, sand play etc. Here is their official site: http://www.golfswingguru.net

You have to be able to qualify for the pro-am tour and win enough to earn points to be able to even try and qualify for the pro tour. So unless you're a scratch golfer (shoot par on every hole), you have quite a bit of work to do. Being athletic has NOTHING to do with the game of golf. The hardest yardage on any golf course is the 4 inches between your ears! Download the the PGA rules book and know every rule and be able to play that way when you are out golfing.

technically to become a pro golfer all you have to do is accept anykind of money for playing golf. To play on the PGA Tour however, just start playing in amateur tournaments improve and keep on trying, maybe go to a college thas has a decent golf program and you can earn your tour card by playing through the nationwide tour or enter qualifying events for pro tournaments and hopefully finish high enough to qualify.
Good Luck!

Golf is unique. You don't need extraordinary strength except strength of will to be a 'good' golfer.
To be a pro? You need skill born of talent. Opportunity is most important, too. If you are in a position to make golf your primary occupation all you need is practice. (Like 'directions' to Carnegie Hall).
What a great way to make a living!
Good luck.

both of the sports you mention are sports that you really have to start playng when you are young, especially tennis - golf you can get good at but there's alot to be said about getting a racket or a golf club in the hands of a kid and let them develop naturally - I'm not saying don't try - You would have to pick one of those sports first of all and totally commit to it - get a pro to help teach you and get you working on the things that will help you get to that elite level - it takes more than hitting golf balls at the range or hitting tennis balls of a wall to get to the top of the sport - good luck

It's going to take you probably ten years to make it as a golf pro maybe even longer but that's if you play everyday
