From the inaugural April 1959 issue to the latest one that’s been delivered to your home, we’ve covered every moment, invention and trend in golf — a smart, independent voice for the game we love. We’ve made a bunch of aces (and a few double-bogeys) over the past 700-plus issues. Here, we celebrate some of the most memorable of them.
Let’s enjoy a trip back in time to GOLF in the 2000s…

Player of the decade: Tiger Woods
“As we look back at the year in golf, Tiger Woods’ paw prints are everywhere, from the Old Course in St. Andrews, Scotland, to Pebble Beach in California and all points between. Never in history has the game been defined so much by one player. Bobby Jones, after all, had Walter Hagen as a rival. Ben Hogan had Sam Snead and Byron Nelson. Arnold Palmer’s reign as the King was cut short by the arrival of Jack Nicklaus, who in turn faced a steady stream of pretenders to the throne. Woods, on the other hand, stands alone. Even his fellow players are in awe— and who can blame them?” —“2000 Year in Review” (Jan. 2001)
“Has any player ever had a better year than Tiger Woods had in 2000? No. That was easy, wasn’t it?” —“Greatest Year Ever” (Feb. 2001)
The Greats: The Future
“I’ve made wrong decisions and right decisions, but I only have one chance to live this life, and I’m not going to fret about bad decisions.” —Michelle Wie (Sept. 2009)
