Harold Henning

Harold Henning

Harold Henning (October 3, 1934 – January 1, 2004) was a South African professional golfer who played on the PGA Tour and the Senior PGA Tour.

Henning was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. Nicknamed "The Horse", he turned pro in 1953. From 1953–1965, Henning traveled the world playing on various international circuits, winning championships in Switzerland and Italy. A World Cup win with Gary Player in 1965 convinced him to join the PGA Tour.

Henning won two official PGA Tour events – the 1966 Texas Open Invitational and the 1970 Tallahassee Open Invitational – before retiring in 1972. He returned to the game six years later and recorded a victory at the KLM Dutch Open in 1981. Upon reaching the age 50 in October 1984, Henning began play on the Senior PGA Tour. During his 18 seasons on this Tour, he won three official events and two Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf Championships.

Henning died in 2004 of pancreatic cancer.
