Now that Arnold Palmer has been awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, is Tiger Woods on deck? He is if Rep. Joe Baca (D-California) has his way.
Baca, 62, is a golf nut, who chairs the Congressional Golf Caucus, a newly-formed group of Democrats and Republicans who wish to promote golf. He had been working for more than five years to get Palmer a Congressional Gold Medal, which recognizes distinguished achievements and contributions.
For two years, he's been working on seeing to it that Woods is similarly honored. In 2007, he sponsored a bill (H.R. 1373) to award a Congressional Gold Medal to Woods.
