The IPGL is being formed, says White, because: 1) many pro golfers would welcome a
permanent base with guaranteed income, a retirement plan, limited travel and
opportunities for «star status» in an adopted community (e.g., Ron Santo is from Seattle, but Chicago is where his
name sells pizza); 2) most golf fans never see live golf competition except on television, and even on TV they are increasingly unable to identify with the players because of the abundance of faceless — meaning what's the
name of the guy who won this week?
