Golf community mourns the passing of course architect Tom Weiskopf (1942-2022)

Just this past Saturday, 16-time PGA Tour winner and 1973 British Open winner Tom Weiskopf died; he was 79. Weiskopf had been dealing with pancreatic cancer since late 2020. In addition to his 16 wins on Tour are 4 PGA Tour Champions victories, most notably the 1995 U.S. Senior Open. He later worked in television at both CBS and ABC/ESPN as a golf analyst and enjoyed his most fruitful act in theĀ golf course design business, initially with Jay Morrish and later with Phil Smith as a partner. His design credits include TPC Scottsdale and renovating Torrey Pines (North) and also noted for bringing the drivable par-4, which he tried to incorporate into many of his designs, back into vogue.
