About the Author

Ben Hogan discovered golf as a fifteen-year-old caddie. He turned pro at seventeen, joined the tour full-time as a nineteen-year-old in 1931, and won nine pro majors. A four-time PGA Player of the Year, he is one of only five golfers to win all four professional majors. At forty-one, he won five of six tournaments, including the Masters, US Open, and the British Open. Hogan died at age eighty-four in 1997 in his home in Fort Worth.
