What Rory, Tiger, Day, Koepka and other's have done to their body is a mistake in my opinion. It's more likely done out of vanity than any other reason.
I've gone from fat -> skinny -> ripped over the course of my life, and my golf has been the best when I've been a ripped 30 something. Not only do I have a more consistent/powerful swing than I have had at any point in my life as a beefcake ripped dude, but I feel waaaaay less likely to injure myself swinging a golf club as hard as I can.
edit: I played D1 college golf as a fat ****er
