Throughout his more than two decades as the PGA Tour’s front man, Tim Finchem was never one to spend much time rehashing ancient history.
Even when his retirement was at hand and a successor in place, the former politico-turned-commissioner would talk about his Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., team and the Tour’s long-term health, not what may or may not be written on his Wikipedia page.
Even on Nov. 7, the day he announced to his team that he would be stepping down as commissioner on Jan. 1, ending a tenure that began in 1994, Finchem didn’t care to go over his career scorecard.
