The IRS is after black golf pioneer and successful Champions tour player Jim Thorpe for tax evasion.
It's ironic how this news broke so soon after the premiere of The Golf Channel documentary, "Uneven Fairways". In it, Thorpe spoke openly his days spent so dirt poor that he risked scorn (if not worse) by betting on pick-up games he didn't have a dime to back up.
Thorpe is yet another heroic figure who might ultimately be laid low by the tax man's mighty rake.
Let's hope he escapes this hazard with his dignity intact.
