CBS Sports and the PGA TOUR chronicle the intriguing career of one of golf's greatest champions with a PGA TOUR SPECIAL: BEN HOGAN THE QUEST FOR PERFECTION, on Saturday, May 27 (2:00-3:00 PM, ET). From his humble beginnings in Fort Worth, Texas to his unmatched desire and determination to win, Ben Hogan also was the greatest champion of the Bank of America Colonial at Fort Worth's Colonial Country Club, aptly named Hogan's Alley.

The characteristics that were Hogan's mystique are in many ways what make up today's champions. He was the first tactician on the golf course (Jack Nicklaus would later master). Hogan studied every golf course with such precision that before the 1951 U.S. Open at Oakland Hills, he calculated that a 5-iron wouldn't be needed and simply replaced it. His practice ground prowess was legendary (Vijay Singh-like). When he wasn't outthinking you, he was outworking you. On the golf course he would grind out every golf shot and fight for every score (Tiger Woods-like). And he was the first player/golf instructor when he co-authored with Herbert Warren Wind, "Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf." To this day one of the most popular instructional books ever printed.

His contributions to the game went beyond the fairways and greens. He mentored young up-and-coming players (Jack Fleck, Ken Venturi, Justin Leonard), was committed to building the perfect golf club when he began the Ben Hogan Company (until recently, all clubs built for Tour players were individually handmade). And because of his commitment to Colonial Country Club the tournament is still strong 60 years later.

Hogan retired with 63 tournament victories, third all-time to Sam Snead's 81 and Nicklaus' 70. Only Nicklaus (18), Walter Hagen (11), and Tiger Woods (10) have won more professional majors then Hogan (9).

Hogan was at his best in the majors. Nobody has come close to his remarkable achievement of winning nine of the 16 majors he competed in from the 1946 PGA through the 1953 British Open. He won a record-tying four U.S. Opens, two Masters®, two PGAs and one British Open, with six victories coming after his near fatal car accident.

A four-time PGA Player of the Year, he is one of the only five golfers (Jack Nicklaus, Gene Sarazen, Gary Player, and Tiger Woods) to win all four majors.

In 10 years of competing in the U.S. Open from 1946-56, Hogan had the extraordinary record of four firsts, two seconds, a third, a fourth and being sixth twice. Hogan was at his best in 1953 at the age of 41 when he won five of six tournaments, including three majors – the Masters, U.S. Open and the British Open (in his only appearance in this tournament).

The special includes interviews from Jacquelyn Towry, Hogan's niece; Marty Leonard, daughter of Colonial Country Club founder Marvin Leonard; Dan Jenkins, friend/writer; Ken Venturi, Byron Nelson; Arnold Palmer; Jack Nicklaus; Mike Wright – head pro at Shady Oaks Country Club in Fort Worth, TX; James Dobson, author "Ben Hogan, An American Life", Colonial Country Club members; former Ben Hogan Company employees/club makers; and Sharon Ray, Hogan's former secretary.
