Bobby Jones was the great Georgia golfer who won 33 tournaments, including 13 majors and the “Grand Slam” of his era. He never turned professional, co-designed Augusta National Golf Course and inaugurated the Masters golf tournament there. Jones was recognized internationally for his golfing achievements, and his name remains on the tips of tongues when people discuss the greatest golfers of all time.
