#8. Gene Sarazen

Keeping true to my colors, if you won the grand slam of golf you are indeed in my top ten.

Sarazen was the winner of 7 majors including all four majors and  a grand total of 39 PGA Tour events.

His stature was small standing only 5 feet, 5 inches but his heart was that of a lion.

A gracious but tenacious competitor, Gene was part and parcel of the fabric of professional golf in the early 1920’s through the 1940’s.

Following his brilliant playing career he became a golf television commentator especially known for his color analysis on television’s Shell’s Wonderful World of Golf series running from the early 1960’s to the late 60’s.
