America's GDP And The PGA Of America

Outgoing PGA of America CEO Joe Steranka perked up when the topic of more than one major outside the U.S.A. this week presented itself, suggesting "America represents about 60 percent of the global GDP (gross domestic product)."

Thanks to reader Andrew for asking us golf writers to take a closer look and a quick look at the numbers shows it's more like 20%.

Just in case any other golf execs decided to wheel out Joe's numbers...don't.
