The easy solution would be creating a new golfer.
If you want to keep it, you may try deleting your local save file. Golfer level, items, currencies, and online stats will remain on your account and you only loss the career progress and saved settings.
There should be a simple restart career option

Why specifically PC players? I think this is the same for everyone...
FWIW I agree that it would make a lot of sense for the ability to start a new career for an existing player to be added to the game.
I think because no one knows how to delete the save data on PC yet. Xbox and PS5 it's built into the OS, but it's unclear how in Windows.
Here's what worked for me. Your mileage may vary; fiddle at your own risk; subject to change without warning; other generic warnings.
(Windows 10 | Steam)
First, go to:
This PC > Documents > PGA TOUR > settings > 1234567890 > 123456
(I don't know how important the numbers are in the last two sub-folders so I replaced them with generic numbers of the same length. They were the only folders there.)
From here, there will be several folders named with seemingly random 8 digit hex values.
If you only have 1 character, delete (or move to a backup location) the folder that contains the DATA file with your character's career progression data (it should be the one that was modified last). You can peek inside the DATA file within that folder with Notepad. If there is a bunch of numbers you've got the right folder. If it's mostly empty, try looking at a different one. Once that is deleted or moved, start the game and you should be able to restart your career. Your other progress (character, skills, challenges, etc) should be unaffected.
If you have multiple characters, then you'll have to search inside of each DATA file to see which folder corresponds to which character (again, it should be one of the last few modified folders). Open in Notepad and press "CTRL + F" to search for your character's name. You may have to search multiple times: one for each character. Alternatively, you can manually scroll down until you start seeing names (it should be the first entry in the second data set within that file). Once you've found the correct one, delete or move that folder. Start the game and you should be good to go.
