How many tournaments does a professional golfer play a year?

Answer 1

Actually there are many scenarios depending on the tournament, the tour (PGA, LPGA, Champions Tour, Nationwide Tour, etc) and the golfer themselves. Most all pro tournaments are four days long, 1 round (18 holes) a day, except for the Champions Tour (formerly the Senior Tour) which is 3 days long, 1 round a day. If there are stoppages for weather the golfers may play more than 18 holes in a day. Some times as many as 2 full rounds in a day. If there is a ProAm linked to the tournament, that is usually on Wednesday. Most players will come in on Tuesday and play a practice round to get more familiar with the course. As you can see depending on the tournament, the tour and the golfer, they could play up to 6 rounds each week. During an off week your guess is as good as mine but I would imagine a guy like Tiger plays and practices everyday, while a guy like John Daly has a few beers and a smoke and might get out every once in a while.
