Jon Rahm wasn’t part of the committee that selected the Class of 2022 that was to be inducted Wednesday night. His reaction to the inevitable spoke for everyone in golf who witnessed Woods win at a historic rate and leave an imprint on the game measured in money and prestige for him and everyone who followed.

"What can I say about Tiger that we haven’t said already?" Rahm said. "He inspired a whole generation. Besides entertaining all of us for 20 years and doing unbelievable things, he inspired the generation of players that you’re seeing today."

Woods was the headliner Wednesday in an induction class that fittingly included Tim Finchem, the retired PGA Tour commissioner who parlayed the powerful effect of Woods with astronomical increases in prize money and a tour that became the destination for players around the world.

Also being inducted were three-time U.S. Women’s Open champion Susie Maxwell Berning and the late Marion Hollins, the first woman to develop golf courses and a former U.S. Women’s Amateur champion and Curtis Cup captain.
