Jack said that Tom had more golf talent & skills than anyone he ever seen. Unfortunately for Tom, Jack drastically outweighed him in the mental part of the game. Rip Tom.

Ole baw used to like to get after it. Was never afraid to belly up to the bar. Probably cost him the HOF. Dude could have been the GOAT

He was a gunslinger and sometimes his temper would get the best of him, but he never backed down.

HOF should be proud to let him in.

He won The Open and competed at a high level in other majors.

What are the criteria for Hall of Fame?

Are there automatic criteria like 10 tour wins and a major?

Or is it just a vote?

He was a competitor and had a beautiful swing.

That get you eligible to be on the ballet. The LPGA has a points system
