American three-time major champion whose remarkable consistency across three decades produced 51 PGA Tour victories and placed him alongside the legends of mid-twentieth-century American golf.

Billy Casper was one of golf's most underrated champions, winning 51 PGA Tour events including two US Opens (1959, 1966) and the Masters (1970). His famous come-from-behind victory over Arnold Palmer at the 1966 US Open, when he overcame a seven-shot deficit in the final nine holes, is one of golf's most dramatic championships. Despite his achievements, Casper has never received the recognition his record deserves.
