Arnold Palmer is the one who held on too long.

That’s better than I recalled but he didn’t have a top 20 in a non-Augusta major from 1986 through the end of 2000 (when he effectively stopped playing them at age 60). He was a pretty uncompetitive golfer in the majors for most of his 50s, but he still drew crowds and nobody complained (nor should they have).
Tiger is gonna get an exemption to any major he wants for as long as he still wants to play and I don’t think anybody should take an issue with that.
