What does it take to become a US PGA Tour Pro? If a list of essential criteria were made, the necessary components to compete on the world’s premier golf tour would be very similar to many professional sports played around the globe. The public perception of golf has changed considerably over the past 10 years. The success of players like Adam Scott, Nick Watney and Geoff Ogilvy has given golf a more ‘athletic’ face. Organizations such as the Titleist Performance Institute have emerged on the golf landscape, gathering some of the world’s leading experts in athlete physical preparation so that thousands of golfers are given access to quality information and best practices. In many ways, golf has become the benchmark in athletic development for other sports to follow.
A useful way to determine just how far golf has come would be to compare a US PGA Tour Professional with a world-class athlete from a different sport - to put performance, physical preparation and recovery techniques under the microscope. Two dominant male athletes who are currently at the top of their sports are Adam Scott and 100-meter sprinter Usain Bolt. Obviously, while a direct contest between the two athletes is of no use in assessing the success of their respective training programs, the differences between the Scott and Bolt are less than what you may think.
