I am not a golfer but I note in USA Today that while 15% of the
US population as a whole is left handed, only 1% of the PGA Tour
is left handed. I am not clear whether this means "golf left
handed" or "are truly left handed."

In either case, this is too extreme to be explained by chance
alone. Does anyone have an explanation for this?

If I am not mistaken, all of these left handed golfers are actually right
handed. Correct me if I am wrong please.

Mickelson and Charles are both natural right-handers!

Jack,
I know Phil Mickleson is, I don't know about the other
ones? Two guys in my regular foursome are left handed but play
right handed (the better players).
