label: Description
content: Perhaps no golfer’s swing has been as influential as that of “Slammin’ Sammy” Snead’s. Called “perfect” by later professionals such as Jack Nicklaus, Snead’s smooth and powerful technique made him the premier golfer of his era, with the native Virginian winning 82 PGA tour events, including 7 Majors, between 1936 and 1965. The 82 tour victories set a PGA record, now shared with Tiger Woods. During the Second World War Snead served in the United States Navy. In 1974 he was elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame.
