From the Publisher:
Walter Hagen was to golf what Babe Ruth was to baseball: the first professional golfer to make his living from playing the game rather than teaching it, winner of eleven majors - a record surpassed only by Nicklaus and Woods - influential in founding the Ryder Cup, and the first golfer to top $1 million in career earnings - equivalent to a massive $40 million today. But where Ben Hogan was an impassive golf-machine, Hagen was a larger-than-life, witty man who travelled by limousine, loved to party, and sent a second limo for his fine clothes.
Now, Tom Clavin has written the definitive portrait of this flamboyant golfing legend.
