ADVERTORIAL
Over the past 100 years, many famous golf players worthy of the Hall of Fame have participated in major international golf championships. It is challenging for
https://odds2win.bet/ experts to compare the top 5 golf players of different ages since the individual characteristics and achievements must be considered in time, conditions, competition rules, etc.
Ben Hogan
A native of Texas, Ben Hogan became the greatest golf player of all time thanks to his technique and rigorous training. Having won two US PGA championships from 1946 to 1948, in 1949, he had a terrible car accident. The doctors concluded that he would never be able to walk, let alone playing golf. But just one year later, he won the US Open again, and in 1953, he won three large tournaments— British Open, US Masters, and US Open. The Grand Slam was impossible — that year, the USPGA championship coincided with British Open!
Arnold Palmer
Probably, American Arnold Palmer has done more to turn golf into a mainstream entertainment sport than any other person. He has the charm of a movie star, and the audience likes his golf game very much.
He performed sensational kicks followed by the kicks that hit the trees. His return kicks were spectacular. From 1960 to 1964, Palmer won seven major championships and was a member of six World Cup-winning teams. Then he became a winner in the personal category in 1967. Actually, he turned minority sport into a popular sport.
Mickey Wright
A native of San Diego, Mickey Wright, was arguably the best golf player in the world. She won four US Open and six Weir Prizes for the lowest average number of swings. Mickey was ranked first in money won four times, having won the US Tour 82 times. In 1962, she won 10 tournaments, and in 1963- already 13. Out of fear of flying, she rarely left the United States, and because of her shyness, she was less famous than she should have been.
Laura Davis
Due to her long-range swings, an English Laura Davis was the winner of the British and US Women’s Open. Moreover, she was ranked first in the tournaments of America and Europe. Her swings’ extraordinary range, combined with her unusual personal qualities, made her one of the best golf players.
Nancy Lopez
The real star of the US LPGA Tour of 1978, Nancy Lopez had her first full professional season this year and won 9 tournaments (5 of them in a row). Nancy brought a new wave of popularity to professional female golf and turned it into a main television sport of America.
