About
Ben Hogan is one of only five golfers in history to complete the career Grand Slam, winning all four major championships in his career despite only playing The Open Championship once.
Ben Hogan (1912–1997) is celebrated as one of golf’s greatest legends, renowned both for his playing and for his influence on golf technique and equipment. Born in Texas, Hogan rose from humble beginnings, working as a caddie from age 11 and turning professional by 17. Despite a challenging start to his career, he went on to win 64 PGA Tour events, including nine major championships, making him one of a select few to complete the modern career Grand Slam. Hogan's meticulous approach to the game revolutionized swing theory and ballstriking, earning him a reputation for unparalleled precision and dedication. After a near-fatal car accident in 1949, his remarkable comeback to win the 1950 U.S. Open is hailed as one of sport's greatest triumphs. Beyond playing, Hogan made lasting contributions through his best-selling golf instruction book and by founding the Ben Hogan Golf Company, influencing clubs and equipment design for decades.
