Farewell to Jay Sigel: Amateur GOAT Remembered

Sad news for golf fans—Jay Sigel, the ‘best since Bobby Jones,’ has passed away at 81 after a battle with cancer. Sigel was a Walker Cup mainstay, two-time U.S. Amateur champ, and a legend who inspired generations, even after a freak injury changed his career path. His legacy isn’t just in the trophies, but in how he lifted the amateur game and mentored young golfers. Truly the people’s champ.
