In 1914, three events heralded the beginning of an exciting new era in golf:
First, the flamboyant Walter Hagen won the U.S Open Championship. His amazing golfing skill and colourful personality captured headlines, increasing the nation’s interest and participation in the game of golf.
Second, Henry Ford introduced the mass production assembly line, and doubled his worker’s wages. He set a precedent that helped establish a new era in which the average man could afford both the time and money for golf, which had previously been a rich man’s game.
Third, Wilson Sporting Goods Company entered the Sporting Goods business. In the years to come, Wilson’s bold new club ideas helped make the game more enjoyable for more golfers than ever before in the history of the game.
In 1922 Gene Sarazen becomes the first golfer to become a member of the Wilson Advisory Staff and begins a 75-year relationship with the company, the longest-running contract in sports history. Sarazen's career earnd him 39 PGA titles including two U.S. Opens, three PGA Championships, a British Open title, and a Masters victory on his way into the PGA Hall of Fame in 1974.
Over the years Sarazen was joined by such golfing greats as Sam Snead, Walter Hagen, Arnold Palmer, Hale Irwin, Nick Faldo, Payne Stewart, John Daly and Vijay Singh to name a few... some of the greatest names in golf!
Gene Sarazen uses a secret weapon on his way to winning the 1932 British Open after a plane ride had inspired him to create a club head that glides smoothly through sand. Sarazen welded a piece of steel to the sole of the club and ground it producing ‘bounce’. This marked the introduction of the sand wedge and the “explosion” shot was born, and that year Wilson sold 50,000 of the club known as the Wilson R-90, the most popular sand wedge in golf.
The legendary Sam Snead joins the Wilson Advisory Staff at the age of 25. Snead went on to win five tournaments that year and Slammin’ Sammy was born, winning a record 81 PGA Tour events in his illustrious career, including 3 PGA Championships, 3 Masters and an Open Championship. Sam remained with Wilson as an Honorary Staff member with a lifetime contract.
