The leader in the clubhouse — logo-wise, anyway — seemed to be Paul Azinger. Azinger was cruising the fairways with no fewer than seven logos — three for Callaway and Big Berthas, three for the Haggar clothing company, and one for Florida Hospital — occupying pretty much every prime spot of his person.

The "NASCAR effect" is what some people in golf are only half-jokingly calling the 'logo-ization' of professional golfers.

Notes
Logoization is only one aspect of a larger issue America will face as it turns toward total reliance on the market.
