Born in nearby Grant Park in 1902, Robert Tyre “Bobby” Jones popularized golf on an international stage. His sportsmanship called attention to the game’s traditions, and his success and personal character on and off the course continue to inspire. His 14-year playing career culminated in 1930 when he became the only golfer to achieve a Grand Slam by winning golf ’s four major tournaments in the same year. Two months later, he retired from competitive golf to devote time to his family, career, and his native city of Atlanta. Bobby Jones became golf’s beloved ambassador and helped establish Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament. Jones transcended sport and became an American hero at a time when the nation needed one.
