I've heard that the "man" in the PGA Tour logo is Jack Nicklaus...

So I have a question....why is is based off of him? I would assume because he has the most majors and is often regarded as the best of all-time. But if Tiger Woods eventually passes him, will Jack still remain on the PGA Tour logo?

Just curious to what others think...

"Kindness is more important than wisdom and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom."

Oh really? I was always told it was Jack. I guess they were wrong. So you think it's staying as Tom forever?

It's a composite of several swings. That's the official answer.

Nothing is forever. They just recently changed the LPGA logo so I could see the same thing happening to the PGA logo in the future. The golfer is not officially anyone.

Sorry to have offended you. Pehaps I shoud have added 'IMO'. Despite all posts being obviously an opinion in a forum anyway.

Now, the European Tour's logo is based off someone, but they're looking at changing it to Seve.

Yeah the current logo is Harry Vardon (as far as I'm aware) but I wouldn't be surprised if it's changes to Seve by next year.

'heh, samsonite...i was wayyyy off'


i think they should redo the logo...and make it something that has to do with golf but doesn't include a figure swinging...if so, an abstract version so not as to confuse all of us here at TST...my .02.

Tiger Woods currently is sponsored by Nike.

Not an opinion (even though it is a post).  It's fact.

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
