Ted! Tom Watson Passes On PGA Hall Of Fame Induction

Nice to see that Tom Watson has rejected the PGA of America's hoped-for Hall of Fame induction over treatment of his old pal.

Jaime Diaz reports in Golf World that Watson had one simple reason for declining the honor: the treatment of former PGA president Ted Bishop, who was ejected from office with less than a month ago and stripped of past president status over a social media comment. Time has not been kind to the PGA's decision, which did untold damage to the organization's reputation with its membership and supporters.

Captain Watson clearly isn't going to be forgiving them.

While I was flattered by PGA President [Derek] Sprague’s honoring me to be inducted into the PGA Hall of Fame, I couldn’t accept in good conscience because of how the PGA mishandled the firing of my friend and immediate past president of the PGA, Ted Bishop."
