Timeline

1901

Craig Ralph Wood (November 18, 1901 – May 7, 1968) was an American professional golfer in the 1930s and 1940s, the winner of 21 PGA Tour titles including two major championships and a member of three Ryder Cup teams (1931, 1933, 1935).

Wood was the first player to lose all four major championships in extra holes.

1907

Wood and his wife Jacqueline (1907–1967) are buried in North Elba, New York, just south of Lake Placid.

1920

Born in Lake Placid, New York, Wood turned professional in 1920 at age 18.

1933

In the 1933 British Open at St Andrews, Denny Shute had defeated Wood in another 36-hole playoff.

1934

In the spring of 1934, Wood was the runner up by a single shot to Horton Smith at the first Masters and later that year he was defeated on the 38th hole by Paul Runyan in the PGA Championship, then a match play event.

1935

Despite his two major championships, he is probably most well known as the victim of Gene Sarazen's famous double eagle in the 1935 Augusta National Invitational (now known as the Masters Tournament).

The shot left the two players tied at the end of regulation and Sarazen went on to victory in a 36-hole playoff.

This was Wood's fourth runner-up and third playoff loss in a major in just two years.

1939

At the 1939 U.S. Open he birdied the 72nd hole and was again in a playoff, but this time Byron Nelson was the winner, making Wood the first player to lose all four major championships in extra holes.

Greg Norman is the only other player to suffer this fate.

1941

His major wins came late in his career at age 39, winning the first two of 1941, the Masters and U.S. Open.

At age 39 in 1941, Wood finally beat his "jinx" in noteworthy fashion.

He won the eighth 1941 Masters Tournament in April, its first wire-to-wire champion with rounds of 66-71-71-72=280 for a three-shot victory over runner-up Byron Nelson.

1945

Two months later, he won the 45th U.S. Open, held at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas.

His score of 284 (+4) was three strokes ahead of Denny Shute, another on-course nemesis.

This was the first time the winner of the Masters had won the U.S. Open in the same year for the first half of the grand slam.

1951

Subsequent winners of the first two majors were Ben Hogan (1951, 1953), Arnold Palmer (1960), Jack Nicklaus (1972), Tiger Woods (2002), and Jordan Spieth (2015).

1954

In 1954, the Lake Placid Golf and Country Club changed its name to the "Craig Wood Golf Course" in honor of its native son.

1963

He was the second Masters champion to die, preceded by Horton Smith in 1963 and followed by Jimmy Demaret in 1983.

1968

Wood died in Palm Beach, Florida in 1968 at age 66, of a heart attack.

2008

He was elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame 2008 on the PGA Tour ballot.
