Now, Hogan’s masterpiece has received the definitive edition it deserves, complete with never-before-seen archival gems and brand-new material for today’s 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.

He went on to become one of only five players to win all four professional championships, claiming nine major championships in total. In 1957, Hogan partnered with Herbert Warren Wind, 'the dean of American golf writers' (New York Times), and illustrator Anthony Ravielli to capture his expertise from the peak of his career in a series of lessons.
