A series in seven parts about the growth and development of golf. Introduced by Peter Alliss 6: The Modern Greats
In the late 50s a phenomenon called ARNOLD PALMER gatecrashed the golf scene. Charismatic, a crowd-puller, almost inevitably involved in drama, Palmer was the first of a new breed of millionaire superstars. During the next 20 years he was to be joined in golf's Valhalla by GARY PLAYER, LEE TREVINO , TOM WATSON and, towering above them all, JACK nicklaus. Is Nicklaus greater than Jones or Hogan? Who will be next to earn the title of ' all-time great' ?
