[Crusader]

(Setup: Using the season disk, playing out most rounds. I am using a modified PGA schedule. I renamed some of the tournaments. The biggest change is I modified the Wolverine Cup Playoffs. I moved the Cup playoffs to the end of the season. The Barclays, Deutsche, and BMW are now normal tournaments. After the Presidents Cup, there is one regular event. Then the Wolverine Cup playoffs begin. These are 3 tournaments. The United Airlines Challenge is followed by the Rolex Challenge. These are both short events with the top 33 players. These events are worth 50,000 pts (instead of the normal 25,000). There is a one week break and then the TOUR Championship is played. It is also a short event and worth 75,000 pts.)

Talon Fox was born in the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma. His father was a full-blood Cherokee. He is mostly Irish on his mother's side. Talon's parents were killed in a car wreck by a drunk when he was 12. He went to live with his grandmother in Texas. His grandma lived near a golf course and Talon made money as a teen by becoming a caddie on weekends. He soon had a good working knowledge of the game.

When he was 18 his grandma died, leaving him on his own. Fortunately, his parents had planned ahead and had taken out a life insurance policy that payed off when Talon turned 18. Talon decided to attend college since he had some money. He went out for the golf team and made it. After two years of college, Talon realized the only part of college he really enjoyed was playing golf. He decided to drop out of college, figuring he might as well see if he could get payed to do what he enjoys.

Talon is now 20, about to start his first year on the Nationwide Tour. He bought a bungalow and coupe. He hired 29 year old Dakota Bailey for a caddie. He has strategy of 8 and reading greens of 6. For a coach, he hires Brayden Duncan, 61. His skills: Long game 5 short game 7 putting 6 mechanics 9 mental 5.
