Percy Alliss (8 January 1897 – 31 March 1975[1][2]) was one of the leading English professional golfers in the 1920s and 1930s, winning many tournaments in Britain and Continental Europe.
He was not eligible in 1931 as he was employed in Germany at that time and the Ryder Cup rules had changed to require British players to be living in Great Britain.
His son Peter was also a professional golfer, golf writer and broadcaster, and played in the Ryder Cup eight times.
The Allisses were the first father and son pair to play in the Ryder Cup, and so far Antonio and Ignacio Garrido are the only other.
[7] Alliss had limited play in North America, but did finished regulation tied for the lead at the 1931 Canadian Open.
