I wonder what happened to him.
How often have you read a magazine or watched TV and came across a player's name and said, "I wonder whatever happened to him?" Among them, Woody Austin, Hal Sutton, and Robert Gamez. Forgotten Players who had a chance to win every time they teed it up. Well, here are another 5 that fall into that category brought to us by Ben Alberstadt via bleacherreport.com
It's more than just the number.
Over the past two decades on the PGA Tour, there have been many casualties. And while it's dumb and insensitive to use the "battlefield strewn with corpses" motif, the fairways of the PGA Tour are figuratively littered with broken dreams and literally no longer walked by some once-promising players.
In some cases, names that were once at the top of leaderboards are now frequently hovering near the bottom. And a few of these golfers are notable for their Ian Baker-Finch-ian face plants, and they fill out our list.
A note: Tiger Woods and John Daly had to endure their own brands of steep decline. But I did not include them, as they never really "fell off the map." Interest in both has remained relatively constant.
Here are the five who made the list.
