Odemwingie ventured into golf after retiring from football six year ago.
The 43-year-old graduated from golf school in the United Kingdom last month.
The former Locomotiv Moscow of Russia star is now a professional golfer.
Odemwingie admitted that the journey was very difficult.
“I am someone who has a goal. I gave it a good shot. It was hard,” Odemwingie told Channels Sport.
“People quit this degree in year two; many boys can’t cope with the volume [of study].” It was hard.
“But my Nigerian spirit helped me persevere through the year two when there was a lot to do study-wise.”
Odemwingie played for Premier League clubs, West Brom, Cardiff City and Stoke City during his active days
He represented Nigeria at two FIFA World Cups and scored 11 times for the three-time African champions. READ ALSO:
