Wednesday, April 8th, 2008 TOP 5 GREATEST GOLFERS OF ALL TIME Overview: This weekend is the first (and some say best) major golf tournament of the year, the Master's in Augusta, Georgia. In honor of that, it's time to list the greatest golfer of all time. Criteria: Any golfer to have competed professionally is eligible, but understand, we agree that unless you are a man from the PGA tour, you aren't even up for discussion, since that's where the best compete. Thus, there will be no women, no long-drive exhibitionists, no miniature golfers and no Olympians. Rob's Notes: When it comes to golf, only winning matters and to define the best in golf, winning when it matters counts; just like in the NFL. If you haven't won at least one Super Bowl, you can't possibly be one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time (although it doesn't work in reverse...just winning a Super Bowl doesn't automatically make you one of the greatest quarterbacks...think: Doug Williams and Trent Dilfer); similarly, in golf, if you haven't won majors, you aren't one of the best...(since hundreds of different golfers have won at least one major)... got it? Good. Arnie's Notes: Look here, as far as golfers go there has been, and NEVER will be another Ben Hogan. The man with the perfect swing. A man that people would spend money to watch practice for 8 hours a day hitting golf balls. And up until Tiger Woods the ONLY man to win three major championships in a row, and would have won all 4 but the PGA was the same week as the British Open.
