Hogan, Palmer, and Nicklaus Chronicled in HBO’s First Golf Documentary
HBO Sports is debuting a new film about the early years of iconic golfers Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, and Jack Nicklaus, and their historic match-up at the 1960 U.S. Open. Back Nine at Cherry Hills: The Legends of the 1960 U.S. Open is not just for golf fans but fans of history as it seamlessly intertwines the lives of three sports greats against the backdrop of a great historical era.
WGT was lucky enough to catch a viewing at the world premiere in NYC on May 30, and thoroughly enjoyed it, so be sure to check it out!
