Calvin Peete taught himself how to play golf at age 23.

He had 18 siblings growing up in Detroit, Michigan.

Peete won 11 times in the 1980s, third-most in that decade, including @THEPLAYERS in 1985.

Not only was Peete a trailblazer for minorities in the sport, he was one of the most accurate players in golf history.

Despite a permanently crooked elbow from a childhood accident, Peete led the TOUR in Driving Accuracy each year for 10 years (1981-1990). https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1762977677307252736/pu/vid/avc1/720x900/PwSpgngUlc3j5SbD.mp4?tag=12
