The reel deal: Johnny Morris to receive 2023 Old Tom Morris Award
One of GCSAA's highest honors goes to the founder of Bass Pro Shops, a fisherman at heart who created a company in the name of conservation, golf and humanity.
gcmonline.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reliable sources I can access directly.
- Old Tom Morris, the 19th-century golfing pioneer, is widely covered in historical retrospectives but there are no recent news articles about new events or discoveries specifically about him as of the latest available updates. The strongest recent public-facing materials are commemorative and biographical pieces analyzing his influence on golf and his legacy at venues like St Andrews.[3][5]
- Contemporary references to Old Tom Morris typically appear in anniversary features, museum exhibits, or golf-history roundups rather than breaking news, indicating ongoing interest in his life but not ongoing news developments.[10][3]
If you’d like, I can search for the very latest articles from specific outlets (e.g., The Open, major golf publications) or pull together a concise timeline of Old Tom Morris’s key contributions and how they’re remembered today. Would you like me to do that?
