d note: Today, as it did on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Bamberger Briefly appears in memory of, and in tribute to, Charlie Sifford, often described as golf’s Jackie Robinson and the winner of the 1967 Travelers Championship.
Maybe Tiger will build his own greater Los Angeles course as the tournament venue, and if he does, you can imagine he’ll include a path to the first tee for kids from every kind of background. Tiger grew up playing public courses in Southern California. It was Earl who had the military ID for reduced green fees at the Navy Golf Course near their home in Cypress. But for now let’s consider a more fundamental question: Where would world golf be today without Earl Woods getting bit by the golf bug in Brooklyn in 1972? His first course was Dyker Beach, as public as public gets.
BUT — If you ever saw Earl and Tiger together — in their most public moments and their nearly private ones, too — there can be no question that each was deeply devoted to the other, and that, to type the obvious, without Earl there is no Tiger, not Tiger as the world knows him today.
