Featured in this issue, Tiger Woods and Notah Begay aren’t the first famous golfers to show off their architectural chops in balmy climates. Three-time British Open champion Henry Cotton transformed Portugal’s Algarve, as did three-time U.S. Amateur winner Walter Travis to Jekyll and St. Simons islands in Georgia. Did you know nine PGA Tour legends—including Gene Sarazen and Ben Hogan—each designed two holes at the Talofofo Golf Club in Guam? Can you match the golfer with the resort course he designed?
