"Why is the PGA Tour not producing future Hall of Famers?"

Michael Bamberger brings up an interesting point about the future of the World Golf Hall of Fame and probably a possible solution to the issue of making players Hall-eligible when they turn 40...there may not be many eligible at any age!

But the really worrisome thing, looking at the field at the Players this week, is who are the future Hall of Famers going to be? Tiger Woods, of course. He’s getting in at 40, the legal minimum age. Angel Cabrera is probably going to get in. Davis Love will likely get in. Retief Goosen, who has won all over the world and has won two U.S Opens, will probably get in, too. But except for Woods, there’s not a single no-brainer Hall of Famer playing the PGA Tour today. Not one.

So who is playing the Tour today who could maybe have a Hall of Fame career? Rory McIlroy could, but we can’t possibly know now. Put Keegan Bradley’s name in that preceding sentence if you like. Luke Donald? Jim Furyk? Lee Westwood? They have miles and miles to go to get to St. Augustine and their march is all uphill.
