50 Must-Follow Tweeters in Golf

For our list of the 50 must-follow tweeters in golf, we polled the Sports llustrated Golf+, Golf.com and Golf Magazine staffers and asked them which feeds they considered essential to their daily routine for finding news, information and entertainment from the golf world.

The list intentionally did not include anyone from Golf Magazine, Sports Illustrated and Golf.com, but we encourage you to follow our staffers here, as well as our main feed (@si_golf).
