What's the name of the golfer?

Question

I just read a book, and in it was a story about an American pro golfer who was invited by the King of Saudi Arabia to play golf with him in his kingdom. He was picked up by the King's private jet and to cut the long story short ... they played and had good times. Before the golfer flew off, the King wanted to give him a gift. The golfer politely refused and said that the King has been a gracious host and blah blah blah. But the King insisted .. so the golfer finally said that he collects golf clubs and maybe the King could give him golf clubs. So he flew home and a few weeks later, while he was wondering about what sort of golf clubs he'd get from the King of Saudi Arabia, one day he received a letter containing a deed to a 500-acre golf course in the US.

Now, is this story true and if so, who's the golfer? Does anyone know?

Answer 1

you read the book and it did not tell you the name of the golfer? sounds like a pretty complete book to me.
