This portrait captures the essence of Doug Sanders, an American golfer who graced the sporting world during the 1960s and 1970s. Known for his unique style and charisma, Sanders stood out among his peers with his flamboyant fashion sense and unconventional approach to the game. Born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, in 1934, Sanders began his golfing career in the late 1950s. He quickly gained a reputation for his distinctive look, which included colorful knickers, argyle socks, and a vibrant plus-fours outfit. Sanders believed that golf should be an enjoyable experience, and his exuberant personality and love for the game shone through in every tournament he played. During this era, Sanders enjoyed great success on the PGA Tour, with a total of 16 career wins. He finished as the runner-up in three major championships – the 1961 U.S. Open, the 1966 British Open, and the 1969 PGA Championship.

With his infectious enthusiasm and unforgettable style, Sanders remains an iconic figure in the annals of golf history.
