Golfers becoming walking billboards.(The Gazette)
CASTLE ROCK, Colo. _- They haven't sold their souls, but that's only because you can't put a logo on a soul.
Their hats are less to shield their eyes than to affix an advertisement. Their bags are the size of tuba cases not because they carry more clubs or balls but to provide space for sponsors. Their shirts have a logo on the breast, and sometimes on the sleeves and on the back, just below the collar.
What do you call a PGA Tour pro not covered in corporate logos? Naked.
Golf World magazine recently estimated that golfers worldwide rake in a combined $400 million yearly in endorsements. And in a world where large sums of money are won or lost on the bounces of a dimpled ball, it's the closest thing golfers have to a sure thing.
