Golfweek takes a look at his impact on current minorities, the golfing industry, and the future of golf &#8211; the young kids. The Special Report has some great video reports, as well as some very insightful articles. It&#8217;s worth a read.

The win was her third Open title, but her first since the Women&#8217;s British Open became a major back in 2001. She won the tournament twice before that in 1998 at Lytham and a year later Woburn.
