| From nattily knickerbockered Walter Hagen in the 1920s through color-coordinated Doug Sanders in the '50s and '60s, to virtually the entire PGA Tour in the bell-bottom pants, wide-belted, silk-shirted '70s, and now the late Payne Stewart and the retro-fitted Jesper Parnevik, professional golf has enjoyed a long and proud history of peacocks. The dapper, knickerbockered Stewart fell 117 spots on the money list in '94, managing just two top-10 finishes while ranking 123rd with $145,687 in earnings. |
