Abstract

Walter Hagen’s 1922 exhibition tour with Australian star, Joe Kirkwood, was unprecedented in duration, distance, and profits. Moreover, it was historically significant because it became just one early episode of many in the colorful, controversial career of “Sir Walter” Hagen, golf’s first touring professional.
