A. W. Tillinghast
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Albert Warren "Tillie" Tillinghast (1874–May 19, 1942) was a noted American golf course architect. Tillinghast was one of the most prolific architects in the history of golf; he worked on no fewer than 265 different courses.
Tillinghast-designed courses have hosted multiple professional golf major championships—the 1927 PGA Championship, contested at Cedar Crest Park; the 2002 United States Open, contested at Bethpage State Park; the 2005 PGA Championship, contested at Baltusrol Golf Club, which has also been the host of seven U.S. Opens; the 2006 United States Open, contested at Winged Foot Golf Club— and many others. Plus the 1935 iteration of the Ryder Cup Matches (Ridgewood Country Club).
