John Byron Nelson Jr.
(February 4, 1912 – September 26, 2006) was an American
professional golfer
between 1935 and 1946, widely considered one of the greatest golfers of all time.
Nelson and two other legendary champions of the time,
Ben Hogan
and
Sam Snead
, were born within seven months of each other in 1912.

Although he won many tournaments in the course of his relatively brief career, he is mostly remembered today for having won 11 consecutive tournaments and 18 total tournaments in 1945. He retired officially at the age of 34 to be a rancher, later becoming a commentator and lending his name to the
Byron Nelson Classic
, the first
PGA Tour
event to be named for a professional golfer. As a former
Masters
champion he continued to play in that annual tournament, placing in the top-10 six times between 1947 and 1955 and as high as 15th in 1965.

In 1974, Nelson received the
Bob Jones Award
, the highest honor given by the
United States Golf Association
in recognition of distinguished sportsmanship in golf, and was inducted into the
World Golf Hall of Fame
.

He became the second recipient of the
PGA Tour Lifetime Achievement Award
in 1997. He received the 1994
Old Tom Morris Award
from the
Golf Course Superintendents Association of America
, GCSAA's highest honor. Nelson was posthumously awarded the
Congressional Gold Medal
in 2006.
