Felice Joseph Torza (March 15, 1920 – December 23, 1983) was an American professional golfer who played in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.

Biography

Torza was born in Naples, Italy, on March 15, 1920.[1] Like most of the golfers of his generation, he earned his living primarily as a club professional during his regular career years. Torza worked as the head club pro at the Aurora Country Club in Aurora, Illinois for 28 years.[2][3]

Torza was the runner-up in the 1953 PGA Championship. He was defeated by Walter Burkemo (2 and 1) in the match play era.[4]

Torza was nicknamed Toy Tiger[5] by his fellow golfers due to his fiercely competitive nature and diminutive stature.

Torza was inducted into the Connecticut Golf Hall of Fame in 1965.[6] He was awarded the Illinois PGA Professional of the Year award in 1968.[2]

He died on December 23, 1983.
