PGA TOUR Veteran Wins PGA CLUB Pro Championship. Is It Right?

Yes it is fine if he got his amateur status again. There are too many players out there that call themselves pro that have no business doing it.

You may have missed the point of the OP.  He's talking about a golf professional who competed against other golf professionals in a tournament for golf professionals...

Read @David in FL's post just above mine.

No, it would not have been okay if he got his amateur status back again!

Yeah I misread it. LOL I don't have a problem with it because he didn't make up the rules he just played by the rules of the tournament. He has only won it one time and I'm sure many of those guys have played a few PGA tournaments as you mentioned.

Right.  He's played in it at least three times and won it only one of those times.   It's not like he's out of their league or anything.

I didn't really have an opinion when I started the thread, but at this point I have no issue with what he's doing.
