Notes

* Snead was referenced in several jokes in the "Peanuts" comic strip in the 1950s and 1960s. Linus van Pelt has claimed to "have always kind of admired him", and Schroeder bragged that he was "going to be the Sam Snead of music!"
* Snead hit the Wrigley Field scoreboard with a golf ball teed off from home plate.
* Snead once appeared in an episode of "The Phil Silvers Show" (Sergeant Bilko).
* In 1987, Snead appeared opposite Tim Conway in "Dorf's Golf Bible". Despite Snead's efforts, Dorf cannot follow through on even the simplest of Snead's instructions, promting Snead's repeated pleas of "why don't you quit?"
*According to an edition of the "Book of Sports Lists", Snead made a commercial for Bromo-Seltzer in which he said, "On the day of atonement, I cannot afford to be sick." It was a while before the Jewish audience realized Sammy was not referring to Yom Kippur, but "could not pronounce 'tournament' like other white folk."
*West Coast rapper Snoop Dogg paid tribute to Sam Snead in his song of the same title.
*Snead was so flexible and coordinated that for most of his adult life, he was able to stand on one foot and kick the other foot high enough to touch the top of a seven-foot high door frame without losing his balance.
