Toulon Golf Small Batch Palo Alto

In the creation of our latest Small Batch design our mission was to pay tribute to one of the game’s most accomplished players and one of its quietest innovators: Bob Rosburg.

Rosburg became a force in golf at a very young age. Born in San Francisco, he honed his skills at the famed Olympic Club. It was there that a 12-year-old Rosburg once beat the legendary — and often ornery — Ty Cobb in a match at the club, 7&6. Rosburg would go on to have an accomplished college career at Stanford — where he starred in both golf and baseball — and later was inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame. From there he embarked on a celebrated professional career that included six PGA Tour wins, headlined by the 1959 PGA Championship.

His acclaim in the game of golf arguably reached its highest in his post playing career when he joined ABC as a broadcaster. Affably known as ‘Rossie,’ he spent more than three decades on air where he pioneered the role as a roving broadcaster walking the golf course with the competitors.
