[billanole]

Nicklaus
Palmer
Watson
Player
Woods

That is probably my list, although I haven’t paid any attention to golf in decades. Actually, from my narrow perspective Lee Trevino would replace Tiger Woods.
Sentimental also ran would be Hubert Green, who married one of our neighbors from across the lake.

 

[LuteHawk]

Jack Nicklaus (18 Majors)
Tiger Woods (15 Majors)
Gary Player (9 Majors)
Tom Watson (8 Majors)
Arnold Palmer (7 Majors)

When the gold standard is how many Majors
did you win, then this is my list. Goldmom
had this list first.

John Daly AINEC.

4. N Faldo
5. Singh

[Red Hills Nole]

Jack Nicklaus (18 Majors)
Tiger Woods (15 Majors)
