Pete Dye is widely regarded as the most influential golf course architect of the modern era. Born in Urbana, Ohio, in 1925, he spent his childhood maintaining a humble six-hole layout that his father had fashioned on family farmland. After military service and studies at Rollins College in Florida — where he met his future wife and lifelong design collaborator Alice — Dye spent several years selling insurance in Indianapolis before committing fully to golf course architecture.
