Golf has been a sport for centuries, but its exact origins remain unclear; while some claimed the Netherlanders, Chinese or Scottish invented the game, the most accepted theory of the origin of golf can be traced back around 1100s in Scotland. Since then, changes to the game have been made and the popularity of gold became a worldwide success.
By 2005, the golf courses around the world have been recorded to be 32,000, half of which are located in the United States. With all these golf courses, it's expected to have plenty of golf competitions and tours where professional golfers compete in. The most popular among them is the PGA tour, organized and regulated by the Professional Golfers' Association, wherein only the best of best golfers or "members" compete for at least $800,000 in prize.
Other popular golf competitions include the Masters Golf, U.S. Open, British Open, Presidents Cup and the FBR Phoenix Open, but there are others all-men, all-women or all-seniors competitions that run every year. Some of the best golfers of all-time like Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Ben Hogan, Bobby Jones, Sam Snead, Byron Nelson and Arnold Palmer, among others have influenced the global success of golf as a sport and has inspired many ordinary men to take golfing both competitively and as a leisure game.
