He's not unique. Dudi Sela literally played four matches in 2022 in ITF/ATP level, all GS qualifiers using PR and unsurprisingly lost all four but managed to earn $68k!

I agree though Kyle would likely have a better chance of winning matches he enters using his PR if he actually got a bit of steam up by winning a few matches in lower level tournaments.
... which to be fair to him is what he did last week by playing ITF futures in Italy last week and winning two matches.

Plus with his knee issues, he probably has to manage how much he plays.

Yes. So maybe that's the strategy to mix pay days with lower level tournaments. It's hard if he can't play that often because of his injury status.
