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.

'oh look it's on the handle'

'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.

In my Titleist 2014 9.5" Staff bag:

Tiger Woods currently is sponsored by Nike.

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

      Winter Depression Thread

      By StuM ·

      Not sure this is the best thread but, if the rain holds off, today is my 1st round of the year.  Getting ready I can not find my Shot Scope.  I guess I put it away too well for the winter and thus that is may "Winter Depression".  I'm sure I put it somewhere that made sense at the time.
