The men's criteria for being inducted into the World Hall of Fame is becoming a jocke. Now Kenny Perry, Jay Haas and Darren Clarke has been added to the list. I do believe that since Tiger Woods has achieved just about every accolade in golf (including the majors grand slam - ie. The Open, US Open, Masters and PGA - 3 times over), he should be inducted as soon as he turns 40. I would dare anyone to cast a vote against his getting in!

John Daly rallied Sunday and tied defending champ Vijay Singh with a birdie on the 72nd hole, but he dunked one in the playoff and lost.

First off, congrats to Vijay! The hard work definitely paid off.

With that being said, I agree with the other 2 guys before me. I don't think anyone should have been voted in this year since nobody got the 65 percent required. If they make that number, then it should mean something. Basically the 65% is just a silly number now.

But congrats again, it wasn't his fault!

I agree, it is silly to enshrine Vijay at the height of his career just because no one else hit the 65 percent threshold. Maybe the system should be that if no one hits 65 percent of the vote, then the non-active PGA Tour player (such as a senior player) with the highest vote total over a certain percentage gets in.

Or, do like the LPGA. If you meet a certain statistical requirement (based on wins, major championships, etc.), you're in automatically once you reach the age/years played requirements. That's why it wasn't weird to see Annika Sorenstam enshrined a couple years ago while she was still at her peak (or almost there, since she keeps dominating). She didn't back her way into it, she earned it by satisfying specific requirements.

I think the practice of voting someone in "just so we have someone to vote in" yearly is dumb. They're going to dilute the prestige and honor of being in the Hall of Fame. Vijay should be there - you bet - but maybe after he retires. What's so wrong with not having a PGA Tour member one or two years in a row?
