  1. Unfortunately, Player's reputation was permanently damaged by his cheating scandal. Player's bag of tricks is widely known among golf insiders. Tom Watson once called him out in public at a tournament.

  2. I watched some master's from the mid-late 60's. I didn't get into golf until nick was on the senior tour so seeing him on the tv in his prime was a revelation. Dude was stout and straight up germanic. You could put him on the eastern front in july '44 and he'd look perfect, with his blue eyes shining through a face caked in mud.. Crusading against bolshevism and lofting 2 irons from 220 yards out. 18 majors, count 'em.

  3. The Black Knight, the Golden Bear, the King missing…RIP Arnie! Winning the Master's gets a lifetime invite to the first major of the year but I think the ceremonial teeing off is over for these two legends…Maybe not well see tomorrow…And to think, Jack won his 6th Green Jacket in 86' at the age of 46. Wow, I was a 16 year old, where have the years, heck decades gone? And player w/ his long life of fitness, and it has served him well! Is Jack still the best ever? Is Tiger even though his major(s) total is 14 compared to the Golden Bear coming in w/ 18? The debate goes on…
