He won a record 82 PGA Tour events, including seven majors. Overall he had a total 165 Professional wins in his whole career.
His tremendous contributions and achievements in the field of golf earned him numerous titles and accolades including the Vardon Trophy and the PGA Tour Lifetime Achievement Award. When Snead started out, he had never taken a single professional lesson or course in golf.
He was an amateur who was destined for greatness and dominated the sport for nearly four decades during his tenure. His classic trademark style was his fluid, powerful swing and his straw hat. He would also walk out on the field barefoot; making him one of the most pass yet poised players of the 20th century.
