Ben Hogan’s Limited Schedule Is Not the Answer for Tiger Woods

PGA Tour: Stop Promoting Bad Courses, Holes and Golfers

I am a golf fanatic whose eyes melt into the TV nearly every week watching tournaments.  I’m up early in the morning watching European Tour events, and I’m up late watching events in China in addition to the PGA Tour.  It’s fortunate that golf rarely interferes with my other sporting interests.
