Willie was the son of three time Open Champion Willie Park Sr. The Park family’s golfing prowess directly rivaled that of Tom Morris Sr. (Old Tom) and his son Tom Morris Jr. (Young Tom) in Scotland.  The competition between these two families was intense for what was then called the Challenge Belt.
