I'll be the first to admit that I know absolutely nothing about golf... so this was an interesting story to research. Getting my head around the difference between the PGA Championship Tour (a tour) and the PGA Tour (the company that organises the tour) was just one of several learning experiences.
That said, I can absolutely see why Payne Stewart was the focus of a lot of reporting on this incident. He had quite the meteoric career, and just watching him play (even if you've never had the slightest interest in golf in your life) you can really feel his presence and charisma.
Of course, he wasn't the only one to be lost in the crash. I went looking for a little more about the other victims in this disaster and was able to find a bit more about Stephanie Bellegarrigue, Bruce Borland and Robert Fraley - all of whom seemed to be every bit as wonderful and beloved as Stewart himself.
