![]() ![]() ![]() Sorry Tiger, but apparently he hit it even better than you did (not even sure how that’s possible but I believe the Golden Bear as he got to see both). He is widely considered one of the best (if not the best) ball strikers of all time.Īccording to Golf Digest, Nicklaus once responded to the question, “Is Tiger Woods the best ball striker you have ever seen?” with, “No, no – Hogan, easily”. Hogan is generational player that we don’t get to see too often. Well, there’s quite a few theories behind his “secret” and we’ll break them all down in this post. This makes his success even more interesting… How did he do it? What was the thing that made him great for so many years after being a caddy at Shady Oaks? He wasn’t the type of guy who had a lot of friends that he hung out with after a round of golf. In 1974, he was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame and is still considered a legend in the sport all these years later.īut Ben wasn’t like most golfers, he was very secretive about his game and in general with the rest of his life. To make his golf resume even more impressive, he did this during World War II and had to fight injuries after a very serious car accident. He played with players like Sam Snead, Bobby Jones, and other generational players on the PGA Tour. His first victory occurred in 1938 and his final in 1959. ![]() He used his amazing game and work ethic to go on to win 64 tournaments that are accredited PGA Tour wins. Still to this day, he has one of the purest golf swings the world has ever witnessed. If you love the history of the game of golf, you have to love the great Ben Hogan. ![]()
