Is Toad an Unlockable Character in Mario Golf: World Tour?

Is Toad finally going to be a playable character in the Mario Golf series? According this blog post, Toad is set to be an unlockable character in Mario Golf: World Tour and his reveal is set to appear in the latest issue of the Japanese magazine Famitsu.

Of course, this is all based on a blog without a source and through a rough translation of the Japanese text, but it’s interesting to speculate nonetheless. We have used this source before, so there is a good chance this is true. What do you think? Are those stubby arms too short to swing a club?
