Rest in peace. They missed the boat on HOF status. PGA different than other sports 15 wins on tour and 2 majors. He had 16 wins, also one Major. But his other non tour wins and his architecture prowess.. He should be in.

I never knew much about how they determined/selected HOF members for golf until reading it just now. It totally makes sense to do it the way they do, using a "points" system to become eligible. I think it would make sense to give points for top 10 finishes in majors as well. In his majors career, he finished in the top ten 20 times, including 5 second place finishes.

That is one good thing about golf or other individual sports. Your record is pretty much all on you.

You?re talking about FedEx points right?

FedEx points is the unique characteristics of the PGA tour that makes it actually the only sports tour that has ever existed, regardless of what anybody may say to the contrary.
