Singh and Nelson Inducted Into Hall of Fame
Vijay Singh and Larry Nelson were inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame on Monday evening in St. Augustine, Florida. Both players were extremely deserving of the honor, but I wish the Hall of Fame would wait until a player retires from the PGA Tour before being inducted. Just a nit.
It’s been rehashed many times before, but Larry Nelson didn’t take up the game until he was in his 20s, after he finished his tour in Vietnam, and only dreamt he could play in the big leagues. He was a true gentleman in all respects and was admired by both fans and his peers alike.
Singh was also somewhat of a late bloomer, but did have some controversy early in his career when he was accused of cheating on the Asian tour. But he overcame that and went on to become a true superstar in the Tiger Woods generation, becoming the only professional to unseat Tiger from his number one ranking (thus far).
