might be, if you get too good though, then a dictatorial country can deny you the ability to play thereby preventing you from demonstrating how you've mastered the sport

Nay to many variables
Opponent, surface, weather
Golf is the toughest to me.
Hitting a basebsll consistently is the most difficult thing to do in sports

No. We're talking about a strike zone of inches vs yards involving movement.

What does strike zone have to do with it? Mother frickers are throwing 100 mph fastballs with 6 inches of run and backing that up with 2-3 different breaking balls and an off speed pitch all coming out of the same arm angle.
And you have .40 seconds to recognize spin and decide if it’s a hittable pitch or not.
Tennis is an incredible difficult sport, but you currently have 3 guys with like 20 major wins. Seems like they’ve mastered it.

Hockey- playing soccer on ice seems tough

Not at all, and I swam in college. A difficult af sport to train in and excel at, but mastering it is quite achievable for almost everyone. It will kill you for lack proficiency quicker than any other sport

Golf is way harder at the pro level I’d imagine

Martina Hingis won a Grand Slam at age 16.
Monica Seles won one at age 16.
Tracey Austin won one at age 16.
Sharapova, Michael Chang, Boris Becker, Serena Williams, Staffing Graf won one at 17.
Even Tiger Woods isn't winning The Masters at age 16-17.
Both Monica Sales and Martina Hingis won multiple Grand Slams before they were 18.

This has everything to do with women peaking earlier, not the sport. An 18 year old female has definitely won a golf major, and was ranked #1 in the world before turning 18.

Harder than tennis:
Olympic wrestling
Judo
Martial Arts (Kung Fu, Tai-Chi, KravMaga, etc.)
Water Polo
Decathlon / Heptathlon
Olympic All-Around gymnastics
I could keep going

So in the entire world only three people are realistically the best at a global sport in this given moment?

Not saying it is the hardest, but I have no idea how goalies are able to stop hockey pucks screaming at them like a bat out of hell at 80-100mph.

Golf is not a sport

Well Becker won Wimbledon twice by the time he was 18.
