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.

'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.

Tiger Woods currently is sponsored by Nike.

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

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
