  • All-Time Great Golfers * HISTORY MAKER GOLF
    All-Time Great Golfers H HISTORY MAKER GOLF By Gideon Eames (& symbol indicates that the golfer is a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame.) TOMMY AARON (USA) 1937 - Aaron is best known for winning the 1973 Masters. He is also known for an error in the 1968 Masters, when he entered a 4 instead of a 3 on Roberto De Vicenzo’s scorecard, which kept De Vicenzo out of a playoff for the championship. GEORGE ARCHER (USA) 1939 – 2005 Archer won 13 events on the PGA Tour, including the 1969 Masters, and at 6 ft. 5½ in. he is the tallest ever golfer to win a major. After his death, it was revealed that Archer was barely able to read or write, and a Foundation set up in his name has since raised more than $1m to help those afflicted with learning disabilities. PAUL AZINGER (USA) 1960 - Azinger won 12 times on the PGA Tour, including the 1993 PGA Championship. He spent almost 300 weeks in the top 10 of the Official World Golf Rankings between 1988 and 1994. In the mid-90s, Azinger successfully battled non-Hodgkin lymphoma in his right shoulder, and he is now a respected TV analyst. SEVERIANO (“SEVE”) BALLESTEROS & (Spain) 1957 – 2011 Widely regarded as one of the most gifted and entertaining players ever to play the game, Ballesteros won a record 50 European Tour titles and 90 professional tournaments around the world in total, including five majors, and spent 61 weeks at the top of the Official World Golf Rankings between 1986 and 1989.
