Who played on tour?  Possibly.  I'd imagine there's a teaching pro out there somewhere who's 100 or older. 

Just over 6 months ago golf still had 4 major champions over 90.  Down to 1 now.  The deaths of Don January (May), Betsy Rawls (October), and now Jackie Burke leaves just Kathy Cornelius (who won the 1956 US Women's Open).  Joyce Ziske (won the Women's Western Open in 1960, when it was still considered a major) will turn 90 in May, if she makes it.  The oldest living major champion on the men's side is now Gary Player who just turned 89 eight days ago.

You'd make Player about the best bet of any octogenarian male still alive to reach 100 though. He's surely fav to outlive Nicklaus at any rate.
