The 65 year-old North Carolina native won titles at the PGA Championship in 1969 and 1982 and also won the 1976 Masters and the 1986 U.S. Open. He nearly became the first player to win a major in four different decades when he finished second in a playoff to Nick Faldo at the 1990 Masters.

Since joining the Champions Tour in the early 1990s, he's posted 14 tour wins, including titles in the Ford Seniors Players Championship in 1996 and 2000.

He's competed on eight U.S. Ryder Cup teams in his career and won a total of 66 total professional events and $17 million worldwide. He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1989.

He's also enjoyed success as a designer for elite golf courses, including the Raptor Bay Golf Club in Bonita Springs, Fla.

Mr. Bostock is a former managing director at investment giant Morgan Stanley in New York City and has served as the non-executive chairman of the board for Yahoo! Inc. since January. He also sits on the board at Morgan Stanley and Northwest Airlines.

He previously served as chairman of advertising firm BCom3 Group Inc. and as chairman and CEO of its predecessor, the MacManus Group.

He earned his M.B.A. from Harvard University and his bachelor's from Duke University, where he is the namesake of the Bostock Library.
