Good food for thought, golf player. Since we're talking 'all time', how would you rank Harry Vardon?
There was, of course, no Masters Tournament in his time, and transatlantic travel constraints made American Tour travel, e.g., to the U.S. Open and PGA, very difficult (and vice versa for the American players wishing to play The Open Championship). And, obviously, we cannot compare golfers across the decades in terms of money won: Inflation and the immense premium now paid to athletes in all sports render such comparisons meaningless. Given the subjective nature of the list, should we go beyond 'majors won' and also consider the importance of the golfer during his time and his influence on golfers in succeeding generations?
Also, what of the female golfers? Kathy Whitworth is the leading all-time winner of tournaments on both the PGA and LPGA Tours. True, she would not have compiled the same record on the male Tour, but does that preclude her from a place on the 'all time greats' list? Maybe so.
