Thomas Francis Kerrigan (October 10, 1895 – May 6, 1964)[2] was an American professional golfer who played in the early 20th century.

[3] He was a frequent competitor in the PGA Championship in which his best results were quarter-final losses (in match play) in 1916, 1922, and 1925.

He was often called "Tee Shot" Kerrigan due to his ability to hit unusually long drives.

Kerrigan returned to play in the 1923 Canadian Open, held on the Herbert Strong-designed Lakeview Golf Club[7] in Toronto, Ontario, and once again finished in the second spot, this time losing to Clarence Hackney by the score of 295 to 300.

Former local Jock Hutchison won his only Open Championship, in a 36-hole playoff over amateur Roger Wethered.

[11] He played in charity matches, sometimes wearing his Navy uniform, to raise money for the American Red Cross.
