One of America's most acclaimed sculptors is turning his talents to golf. Ron Tunison - who made his reputation on the battlefields of Gettysburg - has signed an exclusive agreement with Golf Links to the Past to create original works capturing the greatest players, designers and moments of golf history. Tunison is currently producing the Master Designer Series, celebrating the best golf course architects of the 20th Century. He is launching the series with two designers, A.W. Tillinghast and Dr. Alister Mackenzie. "I like to work with interesting characters, and both of these gentlemen had a great look and rich personas," Tunison said.

To honor Tillinghast and Mackenzie's profound contributions to golf, Ron Tunison is sculpting bronzes for permanent display at CordeValle, a world-class private golf club near San Jose, California. CordeValle's director of golf, Joe Root, commissioned the sculptures and oversees the project. "We are very pleased to be working with Mr. Tunison. His ability to make a figure come alive is extraordinary."

The New York-based sculptor is best known for his work involving the Civil War. Three of his pieces are prominently featured at Gettysburg, including The General Samuel W. Crawford Monument, the Friend-to-Friend Masonic Memorial, Irish Brigade Monument and The Delaware State Monument. Tunison is known as a storyteller with a rare ability to capture emotion in the faces and body language of his figures. His works have been hailed for their historical authenticity and meticulous attention to detail.
