In more than 50 years of covering sport, photographer Richard Wilkinson has captured some of golf's most iconic photographs, including those of Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Seve Ballesteros, and Tiger Woods. His most iconic image was taken at his first major championship in 1984 at the Open Championship and has since become a hugely influential picture. Other images have taken meticulous planning to capture players' emotional moments, such as the iconic moment of Seve's dance at the 1984 Open Championship. One image, taken at the Dubai Desert Classic in 2001, took months of preparation to capture Tiger Woods' major victories. Other iconic images include a shot of Rory McIroy's Masters-winning moment at Augusta National, which was filmed 12 hours before his milestone moment. Wilkinson's image was published in several magazines across Europe and Japan and still sells today.
