On the course, he made his money form "Challenge Matches" against rivals such as Old Tom Morris, Willie Dunn and Allan Robertson which were the most popular from of spectator golf in his era. However, Park is mainly remembered as the winner of four Open Championships, including the inaugural event in 1860, when the field was just eight strong. His other victories came in 1863, 1866 and 1875. Park was the co-holder of the record for most wins in the tournament until James Braid picked up his fifth with in 1910.
