re: it’s crazy how short golfers primes are compared to their career length

Are you assuming their career length is the same as the amount of time they would've otherwise qualified to play on the Tour (top 70 player)? Players can achieve lifetime exemption to non-invitation events if they have so many years on Tour and so many wins, and lifetime or up to a certain age exemption for certain invitationals and majors.

So the championship/total years ratio may be artificially lower. Do championships years to years as a top 70 player.
