The current U.S. tour started out as a box-office bomb; in a crowded Augusta, Ga., during the week of the Masters Golf Tournament, only a handful of spectators turned out.

On the sunbaked second day, they swapped scores, and Player narrowly missed a hole in one when his tee shot soared over the creek in front of the par-three 12th hole, landed squarely in the cup and ricocheted 15 ft. away. At the halfway point, Palmer and Player...
