"Many" is probably an overstatement. The very top stars can afford their own jets. The top echelon can afford to take private jets when they need to. But they are only a very small percentage of the overall number of pro players - there are 2,000+ ranked players, male and female. The vast majority of those scratch along at small tournaments you've never heard of and struggle to afford economy tickets.
