The marquee players of the Professional Golfers Association (PGA) Tour are a perennial source of fascination for golf fans, as one charismatic player after another strived to dominate the Tour--Walter Hagen and Bobby Jones through the 1920s and 1930s, Ben Hogan and Sam Snead in the 1940s and 50s, then Arnold Palmer who propelled the sport to unprecedented popularity in the 1960s before being overtaken by Jack Nicklaus. The following two decades saw the emergence of Tom Watson, Greg Norman and Tiger Woods. But over the years there have been many other fine touring professionals who helped contribute to the huge success of the PGA Tour. In this complete history of the Tour from the early 1900s to centurys end, the careers of those golf pros are contrasted, with descriptions of the courses and equipment in each era, and a summation of who were the very best players irrespective of decade.
