Rosaforte: PGA Lifetime Achievement Award In Journalism

January 25, 2014/ Geoff Shackelford

Congratulations to my Golf World/Golf Digest colleague Tim Rosaforte for becoming the third straight PGA of America Lifetime Achievement Award in Journalism winner from the Conde Nast family. Jerry Tarde and Jaime Diaz were two of the last three winners. **Add the great Dave Kindred and that's three of the last four!

Luke Kerr-Dineen with the details on the 58-year-old's accomplishment and a quote from Ted Bishop, PGA President:

"Tim Rosaforte is one of the most knowledgeable and trusted sources in all of golf. It is no mistake that he always seems to have the story first," said PGA of America President Ted Bishop. "His attention to detail when reporting makes him one of the most credible people in sports. No one delivers the close-up insight on the various personalities in golf like Tim, and it is with great pleasure that we recognize him with the 2014 PGA Lifetime Achievement Award in Journalism."
