This Day in Golf History

A page that will list golf history, and the people and events that comprise it in the form of This Day in Golf or This Week in Golf.

This Day in Golf--Dec. 1

It's a doubly good day for recalling golf dates. On the day after the PGA Tour's career money leader Tiger Woods makes a return to competitive golf, the man he's still trying to catch in majors recognizes a milestone. On Dec. 1, 1973, Jack Nicklaus won the Walt Disney Classic to become the first player to reach $2 million in career money. And also on this day, six-time major champion Lee Trevino celebrates his 78th birthday.
