Phil's job requires him to walk a 7000+ yard course 4 consecutive days, strike a golf ball 72 or fewer times each day, meet media and sponsor obligations. You have to be physically and mentally fit to complete that task. Now does he physically look like the 20-year-old players, no but those players have not achieved what Phil and other golfers have in this game.
How cool is it that a 50 yr old professional golfer can compete with a 20 yr old player or a golfer with a 16 handicap can compete with an 8 handicap golfer. That's 1 of the elements which makes golf a sport like no other.
