The fashion trademark of old-time golfer Gene Sarazen is 'KNICKERS', an 8 letter word. KNICKERS are a type of trousers that end just below the knee, and were popular in the 1920s and 1930s. Gene Sarazen was a professional golfer who won seven major championships between 1922 and 1935, and was one of the first inductees into the World Golf Hall of Fame. He was known for wearing KNICKERS while playing golf, and this became his signature look.
