Favorite Tour Picture

What’s your favorite tour picture and why?

Here’s mine....

It speaks for itself....3 reverse c idols and a Texas legend

Easy! Still have the magazine, but not sure which tub.

I love this one. It hangs in my golf cave.

I am not sure when this was taken. I am 99% sure it is at the Open Championship based on the scenery and flat caps but I do not know which year. Please chime in if you have any clues!

Looks like Birkdale, to me

I think you are right. Palmer won in 1965 and Nicklaus finished T-12, at Birkdale.

Thanks!

1965 birkedale

So your 1965 Birkdale picture sent me down the rabbit hole of the 1976 Birkdale open championship...

I think that’s Tom kite with frosted tips in all powder blue like a boss

What an iconic shot and photo. It has always been my favorite.

Wow! Fashion really took a turn between 65' and 76'!

Thanks for starting a great thread, I hope it takes off. I would love to find some more photos for my golf cave. I really like the ones that you don't see everyday. Like that one of Johnny holding the jug, I've never seen that one before. The old standby's are cool but it seems that everyone has Hogan's 1 iron at Merion or Nicklaus/Palmer/Player/Watson crossing the Swilcan Bridge for the last time.

I know right where mine is.

'75 Masters

Fred’s expression is priceless.

I'm such a slacker!

 

 

'75 Masters

Not hard to tell who won and who was heartbroken! Great pic. Jack running around 16 green is one of my all time favorites as well.

C'mon bscintnct where is a photo of a Tiger fist pump.

Don't know who that is standing on Seve's right (our left). Looking at the winners, I can only guess at a young Mark James. If so, that's the first time I've ever seen him without a mustache.

I'm trying to work out who the four golfer are on the right hand side of the picture. It looks like (L to R): Jack Nicklaus, Ray Floyd, Tom Kite, and Freddie Mercury, but Nicklaus looks so small next to Ray Floyd that I thought at first it was Ben Crenshaw.

I am challenged between this classic:

and this classic:

Tiger didn't invent the fist pump

It was Johnny

Love the fire from '73 in this image

incredible

Bobby at the home of golf, pandemonium

You can't leave out a pic of Hogan and Nelson at Augusta

My lord, I'd love to be able to go back in time and watch these two titans of the game go at it over a weekend at Augusta National GC

Arnold's win in 1960 at Cherry was a turning point for tour golf

A tie.

Walter Hagen with the trophy at the 1929 Open

This is a classy pic, it speaks to me. Hagen was perhaps the best match play golfer ever to grace our game, lashed at all shots, and a colourful character to boot

People used to wear suits and ties to watch golf .. there was no "get in the hole" BS

How about a cigar and single malts for an evening with this gentleman?

2008 US Open; Monday play-off I think. Rare to see TW with a smile on his face during a round.

My mom had new kitchen chairs in the early 70s that were the same pattern as those pants! Of course, we had the red shag in the basement.

Never get tired of that pic!

This from '72 I actually like as much as the one from '75! Edit: Just made me change my avatar! Countdown to the Masters officially begins at the Hawkeye77 household!
