Ken Venturi was a professional golfer on the PGA Tour throughout the 1950's and 1960's. He made a name for himself as an amateur at the 1956 Masters, where he placed second. It was later that year that he turned professional.
His success continued as a professional, claiming 14 PGA Tour victories between 1957 and 1966. Throughout his career, he battled various physical ailments to remain on the Tour. At age 33, severe carpal tunnel syndrome finally forced him to retire.
After his playing career was over, he became a golf analyst for CBS Sports. After 33 years as a golf analyst, he retired as the longest running lead analyst in the history of televised sports. The PGA of America recognized his outstanding career with CBS in 1999 by presenting him with the Lifetime Achievement in Journalism Award.
On May 12, 1999 Ken Venturi was named Captain of the 2000 U.S. President's Cup Team. Other awards Ken compiled throughout his career include being named the 1964 PGA Player of the Year and Sports Illustrated's Sportsman of the Year. He was also a member of the 1965 US Ryder Cup Team.
