ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – Buried in the shadow of the World Hall of Fame is a time capsule containing one item of significance contributed by each golf organization supporting the World Golf Hall of Fame, and each organization’s vision for golf in 50 years. Johnny Miller, in his NBC Sports blazer, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Byron Nelson, Gene Sarazen and Sam Snead were among the dignitaries that attended the ceremony to honor the game on March 26, 1997.
On the night that Tiger Woods will receive golf’s highest honor, a question has emerged: Will the World Golf Hall of Fame still be a monument to the game and its greatest players and contributors in 2047 when it’s time to open the time capsule? There’s an Augusta National green jacket down there, for goodness sakes!
PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan addressed the elephant in the room during his news conference at the Players Championship on Tuesday.
