Tommy Wayman
The first native son in a generation to earn a 10-goal rating, Thomas “Tommy” Wayman restored hope to a polo nation yearning for old glory. Smooth, quick and superbly offensive, he is a gentle man and a master horseman. He never forgets a horse and can claim many of the finest to his credit.
An inspiration to young players, he was U.S.A.’s shining number two. Twice representing the nation against Argentina in the Cup of the Americas, two Coronation Cup victories over Great Britain, and two contests against Mexico in the Camacho Cup, one victorious, made him a leading internationalist. A glimpse at his trophy case also reveals six U.S. Open Championships, a Gold Cup, two World Cup and Butler Handicap titles each, and three Pacific Coast Open titles.
