Finally A Birdie For The PGA With Social Media
For 13 years, the PGA Tour was a bit like the Facebook of sports. Not because it was innovative or cutting-edge—hell, it wouldn’t even allow you to enter with your cell phone to one of its events—but because it had Tiger Woods, who for the most part of those 13 years was about as powerful and…
