  Hello guys! The players who have been playing this game for years may remember him. He was, in my opinion, the GREATEST player on WGT. But, does anyone know what happened to him? I've heard he went insane by playing the game about 15 hours a day until he lost his job and family..Some people says he died..What really happened??

  He's living, working , breathing and happily married in Seattle. He was and always WILL BE the best who ever played this game  - hands down. He was shooting  "MID 20's" with starter equipment and low end WGT gb's. If tibbets came back today and played with the equipment we have now,,,LOL. They  say on any given Sunday anyone can be beat. I dont think that would hold true in this scenario. tibbets would be unbeatable.

  you're right sir, completely true. I'm happy that he's fine..but he was the greatest player ever..the best irons he ever got were the g10 ping that i'm using at the moment, and they're not that great..what a player, omg

  The best at that time as I understand were Tibbetts, Avatarlee and Nivlac.
