Several excellent stories has been posted on Nelson's life and times, starting with PGATour.com's in-depth coverage.

Ron Green Sr. files this remembrance. The tour web site also includes a timeline, his records, a career overview and statement from the Commissioner.

At SI.com they have posted a 1995 Jaime Diaz piece on the magnitude of Nelson's streak, as well as this photo gallery.

And at USGA.org, David Shefter pens this obituary to the 1939 U.S. Open champion.
