Why Are There So Few PGA Tour Winners in Their 40s?
Australian golfer Adam Scott recently discussed the decline in the number of PGA Tour winners in their 40s.
Scott, who is 42 years old, believes that the game has become too physically demanding for older players. He also pointed to the fact that younger players are now coming into the game with better skills and training.
“The game has become a lot more physical,” Scott said. “The guys are hitting the ball longer and the courses are getting tougher. It’s hard for older guys to keep up.”
Scott’s comments come at a time when the average age of PGA Tour winners is getting younger. In 2022, the average age of winners was 29.5 years old, down from 31.5 years old in 2010.
