Pete Dye, among the forefront of modern golf architecture, died Thursday morning. He was 94 and had been suffering for years from Alzheimer's.
Pete Dye never thought golf was meant to be fair, inspiring him to build courses that were visually intimidating: The island green at TPC Sawgrass. More bunkers than could be counted at Whistling Straits Golf Course.
His golf courses have held four major championships, most recently at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin, which will host the Ryder Cup this year. He also had several courses on the PGA Tour, mostly notably TPC Sawgrass in Florida, where the Stadium Course has held the Players Championship since 1982.
