head to head
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.

Optimization · Practiced Mastery
Sandbox warfare testing directional combat skill atop an optimisable army and trade economy.

Execution · Practiced Mastery
Repeatable swing mechanics layered over solvable course-management decisions.
Mount & Blade leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery); Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Mount & Blade
Directional blocking and couched-lance timing demand real skill
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14
Swing-stick timing and tempo decide every stroke
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Mount & Blade
AI lords and battle tactics are mappable scripts
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14
Opponents play the course, not you
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Mount & Blade
World events, prices and tournaments shuffle each campaign
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14
Wind, lies and green breaks add bounded randomness
Mount & Blade leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Mount & Blade
Army composition, trade economy and fief management drive conquest
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14
Club choice, spin and course management are solvable math
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
