Top 10 golfers ever ?

[kermit16]

Since there has been so much discussion regarding who is better... Tiger or Jack, it seem the right time to relive some of the greats from the past.
Let's just agree to put Nicklaus and Tiger at the top.
Who belongs in the top 10 all time ?

somewhere in the middle I would throw in Harry Vardon. I know I'm going way back... and not much of a Golf fan... I had read a book once that he wrote... forget what the name was, but found it interesting.

payne stewart ....Damn...what a HUGH loss to golf...

I'd say top 10...

Still yet to be determined between one and two

Hogan
Hagen
Jones
Player
Watson
Palmer
Snead
And ill put in Mickelson assuming he finishes his career strong....I'm not a Mickelson guy, but he's kinda like Tiger. When those two guys play well, they are tough to beat

No way Payne Stewart was top 10

[NickPappagiorgio]

Jones
Hogan
Palmer
Watson
Player
Trevino
Faldo

#10 is very debatable, but I would say it would be an old timer like Varden, Snead or Hagen.

Mickelson or Stewart arent in the top 10.

No love for Byron Nelson ? Seems to me that He belongs in there somewhere ?

I was thinking the same thing.

He not only belongs in the top 10, he should be in the top 5. I can't believe nobody has listed him.

 

[billhill999]

1 Jack Nicklaus
2 Tiger Woods
3 Ben Hogan
4 Bobby Jones
5 Sam Snead
6 Byron Nelson
7 Arnold Palmer
8 Gary Player
9 Walter Hagen
10 Gene Sarazen

Also I did see Seve Ballesteros on the list. Seve had an imagination for the game like no one else.

 

[GoSooners]

The 12 tournaments that Byron Nelson won in one year will never be topped.

Correct. not in this day and age

Byron Nelson won 18 Tournaments in 1945 including 11 in a row ! Nobody will ever approach that record !
