Tom Kite Also a bit cranky, and those monster eyeglasses made many folks see him as more of a bookworm than an athlete. Add the fact that he's spent his life in Ben Crenshaw's shadow and held the title of Best Player Without a Major for about 15 years, and it's easy to see how his extraordinary talent has long been underappreciated. But he didn't get into the Hall of Fame for nothing. He won 19 times, including the 1992 U.S. Open, and led the Tour's career money list from 1989-95. Perhaps nobody has been more accurate with a wedge from 100 yards than Kite.
