PGA Player of the Year 1954

Edward Joseph Furgol (March 24, 1917 – March 6, 1997) was an American professional golfer.

When he was twelve years of age, Furgol injured his left elbow when he fell off a set of parallel bars. The elbow never healed correctly and Furgol was left with a crooked arm as a result. On the recommendation of his doctors, he took up golf.[1]

Furgol won six times on the PGA Tour including one major championship, the 1954 U.S. Open. He also played on the 1957 Ryder Cup team. He was born in New York Mills, New York and died in Miami Shores, Florida. Although he was from the same town as golfer Marty Furgol, they are not related. He was Polish American.[2]
