I think this might be the answer
Curling.
Do I have to me good at it or is someone just going to pay me to do it regardless? I guess motorsport
Online Chess is now officially Esport... so that... xD
I'd be the next Hikaru Nakamura, live stream chess stuff and act cool af.
Bowling
Chess
Are we calling chess a sport? In that case why not magic the gathering or black jack
MtG is pay to win these days (by virtue of the series shifts to crazier or more collectible cards) and blackjack is designed to be RNG hell. Why subject yourself to either of those?
I read something about how some grandmasters think so hard that they burn as many calories as pro athletes. Their brains are going so wild that it can cause extreme fatigue and the shakes.
Sounds like a alpha version of a Mentat.
I figure that if you can drink and smoke while you play it without any real impairment of performance, it's not a sport. It's a game.
I thought that up to annoy golfers, but honestly I think it's a fair yardstick.

Swimming.
Naked twister.
Do people currently get paid to play naked twister? Seems like more of a collegiate level sport
Depends on the production value, bu most people just use onlyfans these days.
If esports count, I'd like to be like this guy and get a contract to play rhythm games professionally
Otherwise... Probably swimming or race walking, not too many professional sports I could think of that one can do into their 60s without wrecking their body
I could totally swim profesionally until 65. Wouldn't be winning anything. Would probably get a lot of "slowest 50m" records, but I could totally lose on a daily basis for a living.
Disc Golf!
Professional wrestling for me.
Race car driver
Jerry?
Dude drove so goddamned fast.
I love you two!!!
Golf.
Cricket. There are many different roles in the team and you get to hang out outside with your teammates all day. Also, if it rains you go inside and have something to eat.
Snooker.
Biking or swimming
Ranked Competitive Sex.
CS... never was good at it, never will be, but it's somewhat fun at least
Baseball. Try to have a MVP and decorated career, retire, still be involved with the game as a manager, retire from managing, slip into ambassador roles.

Darts.
MLB Baseball.
Major League Baseball Baseball
Disc Golf
Why not pick the laziest sport and try to become a real world Happy Gilmore ( minus all the rage enduced swearing or childish antics on the field ).
Darts
Badminton
Fencing
Table Tennis. (A.K.A. Ping Pong, but that's actually a trademark)
Football kicker
For the non-North Americans, the place kicker specializes in kicking the ball through the goalposts. In a sport where most pros have retired by age 40, the best kickers will often play until they’re nearly 50.
Not the most professional, though there are world cups, but playing pétanque is surely something you can do til 65 and beyond!
