Why does golf have the most elite names of any sport? Tiger Woods Rory McIlroy Scottie Scheffler Wyndham Clark Arnold Palmer Gary Player All bangers destined for fame

socioeconomic class most likely to play the sport also has the most elite ancestry (from a purely caste-based perspective)

For sure — golf has a legacy of exclusivity. But what’s wild is that a bunch of these guys actually didn’t come from money (Tiger, Rory, Arnold, and Gary at least). The names just sound generationally elite

I knew that about Tiger for sure. He wasn't even allowed to go in the clubhouses of many of the courses he set records on lol. Interesting to learn about the others.
