The new PGA Tour season begins next week, and the old season finished just two weeks ago. In the live-in-the-moment world of professional men’s golf, that’s hardly enough time for the players or fans to catch their breath.
That doesn’t mean that the past 12 months on the PGA Tour aren’t worth looking back on with some awe and some sadness and some excitement. It was a year when some say the PGA Tour was fighting for its very existence. There were some surprise winners and excellent tournaments. Oh, and Tiger Woods came back to the Tour, and while he didn’t play great golf or even good golf, he was a welcome sight in a year where too many bad feelings were circulating.
