Who Are the 10 Best Golfers you've seen in your life time?

Palmer......Nicklaus, Woods, Trevino, Tom Watson, Player, Faldo, Mickelson, Ballesteros and Payne Stewart. These guys in about this order.

Palmer is my #1 because....he made golf a game to play and his presence was just what TV golf needed to explode. Every tour player should donate 10% of every cent they earn on tour to Arnold Palmer out of respect.

I missed Hogan and Snead by 4-5 years. They were at the tailend of their careers by the time I started paying attention.


I know I missed a couple.

In person or on TV?

nowadays...either...but were playing "live"......Hogan and Snead I have seen a lot of film on them and they'd be there...but they were non-factors when I was old enough.......

I'm only 33, so I've missed a bunch of the legends. In no particular order:

Tiger
Rory- I think he's the most talented of them all. The most likely to go really low in any given round
Phil
Ernie
Greg Norman
Vijay- if he were an average putter, he'd have 8+ majors.
Steve Elkington- from a talent standpoint, he was top notch. Sadly, his health rarely afforded him 4 good days in a row.
Fred Couples
Spieth- unreal game, can win anywhere
John Daly- could've been one of the elite
