EA PGA Golf dying a slow death?

I play real golf every day, walking my hilly home course. I only get fatigued if it’s 99 degrees 100% humidity and I drank too many beers. Fatigue makes no sense in this sport 🙂.
While you may not get “tired” swinging a golf club an average of 70 ish shots (more when you count round warm up, practice swings, etc) absolutely fatigues the muscles. Doing so week after week absolutely fatigues the muscles and leads to overuse injuries.
I would also say it’s a good bet that the top players in the world probably have a higher swing velocity and the added pressure to perform at top tier levels probably puts undue strain on their body that your casual walk playing 9 or 18 with no pressure maybe not even really keeping score probably does not.
- as someone who golfs often or goes to the range if I can’t play a round - I can absolutely tell you I’ve felt fatigued muscles - back, shoulders, legs, hands - from repeatedly swinging. If there was never any fatigue or injuries players would never need to take weekends off yet they do. No player plays every single tour even to my knowledge. There’s a reason for that.

Being 49 myself and playing every day, I don’t get physically fatigued. That said at a tour level, while I still dont believe physical fatigue is really a thing for most , I’ll buy mental fatigue or travel fatigue. You are right that players don’t play every event. Granted some don’t qualify for certain events, and some have already had such a large degree of success, that they don’t need to grind for the $$.
