Most Olympic sports just due to the rarity of the events. You are either completely dialed in and at your best or you’re waiting another year or four to try again.

Basketball Has the most amount of freaks of the three. You can’t hide a bad athlete in basketball, especially now with switches. BWS get exposed

Yes baseball is way more athletic than golf but it’s no where near basketball in terms athletes.

Big pressure on both the hitter and pitcher
And you don’t get to just up and pick your hitter, either. If I’m the 12th man on a basketball team, i know I’ll never ever be relied on to be clutch.

If I’m the shittiest hitter on a baseball team, I know that any game can put me in a high-pressure situation at the plate.

Golf for sure. Not only does every shot count, but playing such a mentally taxing game surround by hundreds of people within feet of you requires an insane amount of concentration and "clutch-ness."

I can't even shake the nerves and clear my head when I'm playing through a group who is just sitting there kinda watching, kinda not giving a shite.

professional darts. crowd going nuts, guys averaging high numbers, your timing on big shots has to be on.


but for those of yall that dont consider it a sport, or have never watched it...

Id lean with Baseball also, pitchers can be clutch all game in certain situations. Its a team game but often its 1v1 battles.

Golf may include a 10ft putt to win a million, but at the same time if you miss youre still winning 500k. as much money as those guys get, im not sure money is the biggest pressure factor anymore. The game is damn hard and winning can be harder, I think that equates to all the pressure.

Golf is definitely a clutch game.

Reminds me of Nationals vs Dodgers NLDS Game 5

Nationals down 4 to 3 with 2 runners on and 2 outs.
The pitcher for the dodgers is Clayton Kershaw

Nationals had to PH with Wilmer Difo.

Soccer. Champions League Final. Tied at the end. Going to a shootout. Last kick to keep your team in it. Miss and it's over. The walk up with the crowd roaring. Having to outsmart the goalie. Nothing like it in sports

I never minded being in pressure situations in baseball or going for the winning TD at end of the game in goal line situations in football (getting the hand off). I couldn't imagine being a FG kicker at end of the game, especially in playoffs for NFL or big college games.

On the road, feeling everyone’s prayers against you, and then coming to terms with it all only to have a timeout called just before the snap...gotta be surreal.

Baseball, especially since as a batter the very best fail 70% of the time.

Golf and it’s not close

Tennis - serving in a close match

Basketball - 1-and-1 with the game on the line

Football - FG to win the game

Golf isn’t a sport. It’s a competition.
