## Resource

How do we mere mortals properly judge those who have risen above us? Well, Mike Purkey (GOLF Magazine and Global Golf Post) has established himself as one of golf's most talented writers, so he has the credentials to compile such a list. The result is his terrific new book, "The Immortals of American Golf." Yes, Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus and Bobby Jones are among the 18 selected, but join Mike to hear the stories of others who you might not have anticipated. One even transcends golf. Also, we talk Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler and Wyndham Clark as the PGA Tour's Tour Championship gets underway at East Lake Club. Plus, we'll look at how the end of the PGA Tour will look very different starting in Golf.
