Description
Stephen Lee, Michele Lastella, Andrew Vitiello, and Henry Pollard survey golf injuries in young top players in a 2026 study. Teen golfers train hard, yet little is known about how often they get hurt or where. The team also asked if more training links to more injuries.
An online survey drew 56 elite players age 10 to 19 in Western Australia, looking back over 12 months. About 30% said they had at least one injury in that span. The mid back was the top site, at 47% of injuries, with the ankle, lower back, and knee next. Just under half the injuries came from golf itself, while the rest came from other sports or play. Recurrence hit about 18% of those hurt.
