Now, Hogans masterpiece has received the definitive edition it deserves, complete with never-before-seen archival gems and brand-new material for todays golfers. Widely regarded as one of the greatest golfers in the history of the sport, Hogan is especially known for his mastery of the golf swing. At the start of his career, he played with a hook that threatened to ruin his game, until he dedicated himself to correcting it and in doing so, he gained a rare and hard-fought understanding of the fundamentals. He went on to become one of only five players to win all four professional championships, claiming nine major championships in total.
