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...

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.

Tiger Woods currently is sponsored by Nike.

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

      Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing

      I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning.

      Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
