Richard Byrd Hart (October 20, 1935 – April 10, 2013) was an American professional golfer who played on the PGA Tour in the 1960s. At the 1963 PGA Championship, Hart led after both 18 and 36 holes (66 & 72) but faded in the third and fourth rounds (76 & 74) to finish the tournament at T-17 — his best finish in a major championship. Hart's one tour victory came at the 1965 Azalea Open Invitational. He defeated Phil Rodgers on the eighth hole of a sudden death playoff. The playoff remains one of the longest in PGA Tour history. Hart died in Covington, Louisiana in 2013.
