Not in their current state of course not

Golf's difficulty lies far more with amount of different things technically speaking that are required to be mastered. the variance is on every level from equipment, to swing, to lie, to course, to elements and how they all intertwine...micro to macro. That is not to say tennis is not a highly technical sport (obviously the equipment variations, court surfaces, shot selections, all require various forms of mastery and knowledge, probably one of the more technical sports. I just think it is a bit more extensive in golf.

I don't think you will get an argument from anyone that in regards to the physical demand of actually playing the sport itself that tennis outpaces golf by a long shot


But I actually think gymnastic is more difficult than both
