“Big Boy” Never was a nickname more worthy than the one given to PGA legend Jim Dent. He was a large man at 6ft 3in and 224lb, yet he also was one of the longest drivers in the game.
Jim Dent, a pioneering Black golfer, one of the PGA Tour's longest hitters and a 12-time winner on what is now PGA Tour Champions, died at age 85 on Friday.
