His career brought him face to face with many of sports greatest stars -- Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Muhammad Ali, Don Shula, countless Hall of Fame NFL stars, more PGA Tour players than he can count. In 1980 he was honored by the Golf Writers Association of America for writing the best news story that year, his coverage of Jack Nicklaus' U.S. Open victory at Baltusrol.

    No arguments on the gambling Tom.

    Maybe the pga tour can start a charity to help all those overserved college boys at Scottsdale with newfound gambling addictions.

    Monahan Better start getting those big golf names ready to lobby the capital again.

    I just hope we are all ready to handle for yet another major crisis in this country brought to us by that 1%.

      Profiting from the gambling shouldn’t be allowed for a 501-C-3 AND, if the Tour was truly charitable, it would give all those gambling profits to charity, which it won’t. Jay Monahan IS the Sheriff Of Nottingham.
