| Infographic by BlueClaw for Direct Golf UK |
If you read this blog you know about my obsession with infographics... and golf infographics in particular. Professional golf is all about stories and statistics, so it lends itself perfectly to engaging data visualization.
Here, a brief history of the PGA Championship is presented in a graphical style that's fresh and whimsical. It includes some of the tournament's more remarkable players, venues and records, and takes us right up to Sunday's Keegan Bradley win.
Next week the Fedex Cup playoffs begin, and I think we can look forward to seeing some more infographic creativity as the four event series unfolds.
Here's the full sized version.
Nice post !

I love it. Infographics are a great way for "spatial-visual" types (like me) to appreciate and enjoy some of the compelling statistics in golf.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great way to promote the game. I wish they did this sort of thing to get more people out there and playing the game

ReplyDeletehaving had siwanoy in bronxville as our high school golf course for maintenance monday play, i suppose that is about as "graphic" as one can get for the history of the PGA - no ?
i attribute that to be pure and simple luck
however, it is also my unending quest to find the PGA "replacement" trophy that mysteriously disappeared, once the original was re-located and put back into circulation
as for "info" graphics, my sentiments are with korzybski that "a map is not the territory" but i guess it is a good place to start
