SOUTH BEND, Indiana — Senior golf might be the ultimate mulligan for the tour professional, as is often the case, but for a player with Steve Stricker’s well-preserved abilities, it presents the ultimate quandary.
At 52, Stricker is being pulled in two directions, playing on both the PGA Tour Champions as well as the PGA Tour. He’s good enough to do both, which means neither get his full attention. Throw in his upcoming role as USA Ryder Cup captain for the 2020 matches at Whistling Straits in his native Wisconsin, and Stricker is a busy guy.
And tired.
