Is he good enough to play on the PGA Tour after he retires from the NHL? 

I have no idea what his skill level is, but I would say he has zero chance of ever reaching the PGA Tour.

Doubtful but who knows really. I’m sure if he 100 percent committed he might have a chance.

People who retire from another pro sport don't go and make the PGA Tour. That has to be your one and only sport from college on, just the same as anything else. Pro golf isn't some hobby or pastime... It's a legit pro sport same as hockey, baseball or football... Same level of dedication required.

Who says it's not legit? Maybe he wants to give it a shot when he does retire from hockey. He'll have the financial whrewithall to do it. He wouldn't be the first & certainly won't be the last.

Yes, while not typically competing on the professional PGA Tour, many hockey players are avid golfers and some have even participated in professional events through exemptions or charity tournaments. For instance, Winnipeg Jets defenseman Dylan Samberg competed as an amateur in a PGA TOUR Americasevent in 2024, and Matt Boldy of the Minnesota Wild received a sponsor exemption for a PGA Tour Canada event. Additionally, hockey players often participate in charity events alongside professional golfers, and some, like Maverick McNealy, have successfully transitioned from hockey to the PGA Tour.
