Golf is a sport that is truly for those who have patience and a kind of demeanor that could be labeled as “easy-going.” It’s not like other sports where they play in massive stadiums in front of thousands upon thousands of screaming fans. Instead, the golf crowds are quiet and polite enough to not make noise while the players are in their backswings. A day at the golf course is one of the most relaxing things that a person could do. Well that is if you can play well. There is something to be said about this sport that brings out the worst in some people. It is true that what they say, “Golf is witchcraft.”
The best at this craft all participate in the PGA Tour, which is the premiere golf tour in the world. The tour features players like Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh, Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia, Davis Love III, John Daly and Ernie Els. The fierce dog-fight between Woods and Singh for the top World Golf Ranking has been going for quite a while now and the two are separated by the smallest of margins. With everything close like this the fans have been buying golf tickets like crazy. What is even crazier is how the majors tickets have been selling out for events like The Masters, the US Open, the British Open and the PGA Championship. Some of the biggest names in the history of golf have carved out their leagacy by taking these tournaments by storm like Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan, and Arnold Palmer.
The face of golf is always changing and young up and comers might be the ones challenging Tiger and Vijay when they make it to the PGA Tour. Ever since Tiger broke onto the scene in 1997 there has been a surge in the popularity of golf that hadn’t been seen before. Tiger took the world by storm as he was dominating the PGA Tour in a way that had only been seen in the days of Nicklaus. What makes it better now a days is that Tiger isn’t running away with every event like he used to. He has a great deal of competition and there is an argument to be made that he isn’t the best golfer in all of the lands anymore. This season could make or break that title for Woods this year. |
