Huge huge difference between being a scratch or better player to a tournament tour player.

I get what you're saying, it's highly improbable - but it's not impossible that a retired player in one sport could become a good player in another sport.

28-3 was impossible, until it happened. In 1999 did you believe there would ever be a day where a QB would make 10 Super Bowl appearances and win 7 of them? I ain't saying plenty of retired guys could make the tour - but longer odds have paid off.
