I've devised a formula to attempt to determine an all-time list of the greatest ever golfers.
Initial criteria is minimum 7 majors for a top 10 spot.
A player cannot overtake another that has more majors outwith top 10.
Definitive criteria is:
Major wins
Top 10s in majors
Worldwide victories
Win span in years
Ryder cup apps.
The results are as follows:
1 Nicklaus
2 Snead
3 Woods
4 Player
5 Hagen
6 Hogan
7 Palmer
8 Watson
9 Sarazen
10 Vardon
11 Jones
12 Faldo
13 Trevino
14 Ballesteros
15 Thomson
16 Nelson
17 JH Taylor
18 Braid
19 Els
20 Locke
21 Mickelson
22 Floyd
23 Barnes
24 Park Sr
25 Anderson
26 Morris Jr
27 Morris Sr
I believe it comes out fairly well balanced without any really obvious flaws.
*woods will in time rise to number 2 nudging slammin' Sam down a notch but for now remains in 3rd spot.
Feel free to correct me. As debate is the purpose of a forum.
