I grew up playing Football, Baseball, Soccer, Basketball, and Golf.
Without a doubt, Golf is the most intellectual of them all.
Before you even touch on the technical knowledge of the game, how to swing, aim, hit a certain shot, etc. You get into this mental boxing match with yourself, in a constant bout of when to "go for it" when to play it safe, and the self pressure you put on yourself when you're playing well, and when you aren't playing well.
That being said, most, if not all of you will disagree with me on Golf because it is one of the most accessible sports that "anyone" can play, and ignore the fact that in order to equally argue the point for any sport, the sport must be played within the confines of competition, and in this case, a golf tournament to compare to a single game of baseball, basketball, or football.
If I had to rank them, it would go like this.
Golf
Football
Soccer
Basketball
Baseball
With a fairly large gap between tournament Golf, and any level of competition in Football.
IMO, though ,its impossible to compare team sports to individual sports.
