Nikaidō Jigoku Golf (Japanese: 二階堂地獄ゴルフ, Hepburn: Nikaidō Jigoku Gorufu; 'Nikaidō's Hell Golf') is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Nobuyuki Fukumoto. It has been serialized in Kodansha's seinen manga magazine Morning since August 2023.
Susumu Nikaido was a 26 year old man who worked as a caddy at the Sakurabu Country Club with no prior golf experience, but his talent was discovered by the golf course owner, Hiroshi Matsunaga, and was expected to become Sakurabu's first professional golfer. However, nearly ten years later, at the age of 35, he still had not passed the professional test, and is often ridiculed and surpassed by younger trainees, like Yuji Kirishima, and faced silent pressure from other sponsors. However, he clings on to the idea of taking the professional test. Even after his support group cut off their funding, Nikaido continues working as a caddy while aiming to pass the professional golf test at his own expense.
