Posted January 21st, 2005 by Guest Author
The 2005 World Golf Hall of Fame ballot were announced, and includes stars Vijay Singh, Fred Couples, Mark O'Meara, and Davis Love III.
The 2005 World Golf Hall of Fame ballots were announced today. Thirty-three players made the ballot which is divided into two categories: the PGA/Champions tour and the International tour. In order for a player to be elected to the Hall of Fame, they must garner at least sixty-five percent of the vote.
Several notable names are new to this ballot, the most recognizable of which is Vijay Singh. Singh's two majors and twenty-five PGA wins are likely to help him gain several votes. Other first timers to the ballot are Fred Couples, Mark O'Meara, and Davis Love III. On the international ballot, perennial Ryder Cup star Colin Montgomerie makes his debut.

I vote for… none of the above. Two majors? Big freakin' deal! The WGHOF seems to set the bar a little too low.

Vijay Singh has been elected to the Hall of Fame but did his youth hamper his ability to win all of the votes?

Will Davis Love III ever regain his status as one of the PGA Tour's best players?
