Thank you Tom. You, Jack, and Arnie (RIP) are still the greatest ambassadors the game of golf has ever seen. It was a joy to watch you play.

His almost win against Cink would've been the great I'd seen. Nothing but class from Watson.

Seve vs Watson at St Andrews in 1984 was just brilliant!

I was at St Andrews today watching final practice. Wish I had tickets for the real thing but so glad I got a glimpse of this magnificent tournament. I love golf!

Watson, a great golfer! An even greater human! He’s my favorite of all time.. on and off the golf course!

As he arrived to the 4th tee in the opening round of the US Senior Open in Salem, MA, I told Mr. Watson that he was my grandfather's favorite golfer. He paused, looked at me, and said "Now that is something you don't hear everyday. Thank you for that." A class act in every facet of the game and how it should be treated and revered.

Thank you Tom for such a lovely message about The Open and links golf in general. It can be tough and unfair, but it's a different challenge and that makes it fun. You have always been my favorite golfer and I was lucky to have met you at Muirfield in 2013. Thank you for being such a wonderful ambassador to the game of golf. It would be an honor to share the kinks with you one day.
