Dick Hart (born c. 1937) is an American professional golfer who played on the PGA Tour in the 1960s.
At the 1963 PGA Championship,[1] Hart led after both 18 and 36 holes (66 & 72) but faded in the third and fourth rounds (76 & 74) to finish the tournament at T-17 — his best finish in a major championship.[2]
Hart's one tour victory came at the 1965 Azalea Open Invitational. He defeated Phil Rodgers on the eighth hole of a sudden death playoff.[3] The playoff remains one of the longest in PGA Tour history.[4]
A 37-year club pro at Hinsdale Golf Club in Hinsdale, Illinois, Hart was inducted into the Illinois Golf Hall of Fame in 1990.[5]
