Morphology
The meaning is directly derived from combining 'professional' (someone who is paid) with 'golf' (the sport), so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to golf played as an occupation. This is a straightforward compositional adjective-noun pattern found across languages, so it is immediately understandable to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Professional golf comes from golfers who began to be paid for playing or teaching instead of just playing for fun. The word professional means someone who works for pay, so the phrase now means 'golf as a paid job' rather than 'amateur' play.
