Wow. Living in The Villages, I would think all you folks who agree with this post are old enough to remember when golf really became big-time. It was Arnie, with the help of Jack, Gary, Lee and some others...both mostly Arnie if you have to pick one person.
Nobody can argue Tiger's ability as a golfer. Or that he was the biggest attraction of his era. But to argue that he took golf to the big-time and is the one responsible for the purses, venues, etc. is as wrong as wrong can be. That person would be the General...of Arnie's Army!!
