‘It Doesn’t Matter’: Sidelining Football, Former Arizona Cardinals Star Receiver Elevates the LPGA Tour in a Rare Comparison

Is competing on the LPGA tour or the PGA Tour hard? Many female golfers have successfully joined the LPGA tour and gained great heights. With their dedication and consistency, they have earned the love and earned big bucks. Same way, the PGA tour is also not child’s play. You have to be great to be on the Tour. But what do you think about these tours? Are they hard?

Leave the tours for a minute; what would you choose if we asked you to choose the most challenging sport among golf, football, and basketball? The football pro Larry Fitzgerald has made his decision. His decision might shock a few sports fans, but his reasons will make you agree.

The Twitter handle of the Golf Channel has shared a small snippet of a conversation with the eleven-time Pro Bowler. They captioned it, “Is professional golf harder than football? Larry Fitzgerald shared his thoughts about what makes the game so unique.”

Let’s find out which sport Fitzgerald chose, tough, football or golf.

Is golf a more challenging sport? The football pro knows the answer

Fitzgerald chose golf to be a stricter sport than football. According to the former Arizona Cardinals wide receiver, getting on the LPGA Tour or the PGA Tour is much more complex than playing football. While choosing golf, he said, “in general, LPGA, all of the tours are much more difficult than football. I tell people this all the time.” 

The retired NFL star believes football requires bigger hands, better movements, and better hand-eye coordination. Fortunately, he was blessed with such qualities. However, there is no such requirement in golf. It does not matter how big or small you are.

Techniques and precision are more important than anything in golf. He explained his choice, “I was born, you know, bigger and stronger and quicker with better hand-eye coordination. And those are gifts that you know did you were bestowed upon me at birth. At golf, it doesn’t matter. You know how big or how strong or how quick or explosive. “

The pro further added that he has massive respect for the sport. Time and dedication are two essential pillars of golf. And if one wants to succeed, one needs to learn all aspects of the port. And therefore, he favored golf more than football.

Fitzgerlad explained his feelings for golf, “You don’t put the time and dedication into, you know, all the aspects of the game. You know, it doesn’t matter, and that’s what I really respect so much about professional golfers in general.”

Is getting on the LPGA Tour hard?

According to On The Green Consulting in 2021, the road to becoming an LPGA player is hard. PGA TOUR Canada, PGA TOUR Latino- America, and the Forme Tour are three other Tours included in the PGA TOUR. And we might also refer to them as developmental. These three Tours combine to form the Korn Ferry Tour, a national circuit with 26–28 events that issue 50 PGA TOUR cards annually.

On the other hand, if you want to play on the LPGA Tour, you only have three options for developmental golf for women: the Women’s All Pro Tour, the National Women’s Golf Association, or the Cactus Tour. These Tours prepare the women for the Symetra Tour, which is the LPGA Tour’s (ideally) counterpart to the PGA TOUR’s Korn Ferry Tour.

Nonetheless, whether is the ladies’ Tour or men’s, getting the Tour card of both the LPGA as well as the PGA Tour is hard. Some wait for years to receive one. However, if you’re good enough to deserve the membership, it won’t be long before you start competing at the grandest stage of professional golf.
