Retirement decision looms for Hale Irwin

BLAINE, Minn. – It was no misprint. World Golf Hall of Famer Hale Irwin competed on Saturday in the Post-It Greats of Golf Challenge, a three-man team scramble, rather than the 3M Championship, a tournament where he notched three of his record 45 Champions Tour titles.

"It's a strange feeling being at a tournament and not playing in it," Irwin said. "It's almost uncomfortable. I feel like a voyeur. It's like being there for the coin toss but not playing in the game."

Is the most successful player in the history of the 50-and-over circuit nearing the end of the road?
