I didn't even know his health was diminishing. I guess anything can happen at age 94. Byron is truly a legend in the sport, and my thoughts and prayers go out to the Nelson family.

Some of his records will live forever, and so will his legacy.

How times have changed.

In 1944, he played 23 events and won 13 of them. The following year he won 18 times in 31 starts, including 11 in a row. Nelson finished second seven times in 1945, was never out of the top 10 ...

Retiring at 34, Nelson only won $182,000 in his career.

It is a sad day for the golfing world. One of the true gentlemen of the game has passed and it diminishes us all. Heartfelt sympathy to his family and friends.

Sad to hear he passed. Gone are the days he will preside over his tournament. He was quite a man.
