Ohio State Men's Tennis (2014/2019/2024 ITA Indoor National Champs, 20 Straight B1G Titles)

Off the wall question, stirred by other thread discussion about NIL etc. Can a player (tennis, golf, etc) play in a pro tournament, and if by chance place in the money, collect said money, and NOT be considered a professional? Used to be they could enter as amateur, and if win something, could collect "expense" money, but not a big check etc. I know the logical answer, but unclear what the rules (if addressed at all!) are these days. NIL equates (to me at least) as 'pay for play', so am asking more learned folk. Thanks for clearing away the fog.
