Under the new definition/conditions, Casey Martin qualifying for the 2012 US Open would have received my vote.
If the comeback player requires a PGA tour card; Ernie Els (Autism foundation) JB Holmes (brain surgery) Snedeker (hip surgery) Woods (recovering from hazardous swing) might have been good choices.
--or O'Meara or skip straight to Furyk.
I like your sense of humor. That would be typical of the PGA--Sluman never played in the Ryder Cup, but won the PGA and has been assistant captain a couple of times.
Irwin and Nelson are ridiculously overdue.
Mid level cable (golf channel isn't on basic here) Watch some others via Amazon live/Netflix. Breaking Bad is great. Really enjoyed The Shield and Game of Thrones. I watched season one of Homeland; Claire Daines' portrayal of a highly functional bipolar is outstanding. Was annoyed by the numerous bonehead decisions by superiors and last second misses/snafus to catch the bad guys (same issues I had with 24)
You should talk to this guy--see how he's doing
