Cut Line: Tiger's HOF induction on hold; eyes Riv return

Fifty becomes the new 40 for potential World Golf Hall of Famers, Tiger Woods talks of Tinsel Town return and more trouble surfaces for Australian golf in this week’s edition.

Made Cut

Good Hall call. When the World Golf Hall of Fame overhauled its selection system in 2014 the creation of a 16-person committee was the centerpiece of what was a dramatic change.

Left unchanged, however, was the minimum age for selection, which was 40 years old for both male and female candidates.

The problem with setting the bar so early is that many of today’s top players remain active and competitive well into their 40s and even 50s.
