For

Answer:

PRO

Hint:

Consider what golfers and advocates might share in their titles.

Explanation:

The clue "For" is a classic example of a crossword abbreviation where a single word stands in for a longer phrase. Here, "pro" is short for "in favor of" or "supporting," which directly means "for" in a debate or argument context. It’s a straightforward abbreviation solvers often see in puzzles, similar to how "vs" might clue "against." Think of it like shorthand for taking a side.
