OFFICIAL: Ex-EPL star turns pro in another sport
A former Premier League star and African international has now been certified as a professional in another sport.
Speaking to the PGA on their official website, the 42-year-old said:"I started playing just at the end of my West Brom days because a few of the boys played, and I could see the excitement they had for it. "Then, on one of the pre-season training trips with West Brom, Roy Hodgson took us to a golf resort and people were doing putting and playing full rounds on days off, so I was just passing by the range, and I thought I'd try and hit some balls.
Born in Tashkent – now the capital of Uzbekistan - when it was part of the Soviet Union, Odemwingie moved to Nigeria to live with his father at the age of two.
