If you could change the outcome of a past major....

Yeah, ".... of multiple winners, Hale Irwin ...".

He won 3 US Opens all on terrible courses with ribbon fairways and knee deep rough 6 inches off the fairway with players hacking out.

Never liked him.

He also won twenty PGA Tour events, forty-five SPGA Tour events, two World Matchplay titles, losing out in a sudden death playoff to David Graham to make it three in a row and won PGA Tour events in three different decades...

My ex had some dealings with him and he was nothing but a gentleman. He also spent time chatting to my buddies about THEIR golf game at an outing he was at and spent time he did not have too answering their questions about playing short game shots. I also have his book, "Smart Golf" that is well worth reading.

Still good to know you have many rational reasons for disliking him.
 
Anything won by Lanny Wadkins and Corey Pavin - hated both of them!

Can't remember Wadkins, too young, but looking back on old you tube stuff etc I quite like him and Pavin as well as Raymond Floyd. Played with passion and a certain chutzpah that is perhaps a bit lacking in many of their equivalents from the US these days.

Great. Don't put him on your list then.
 
2014 Masters, I would of let Jordan Spieth Won. I bet on him on a flyer at the start of the week at 200/1 and would of cleaned up nearly 2 grand if he had won :( But the 1999 PGA for sergio would of been better and the 2014 Open for Rickie cause that would of vaulted his career so far forward.
 
Any that Spieth has won, slow, boring to watch and has no personality and why do they have to put a microphone so close to him so that we can all here his banal mutterings?
Tedious beyond belief.
 
In all honesty, I wouldn't change any of them. The winners came through and got it done on the day and the losers didn't - that's sport.


However.... in the spirit of the OP....

I'd go along with giving it to Tom Watson in 2009, I'd give Monty another chance at his approach on 18 at Winged Foot in 2006 and I'd probably give Scott Hoch another chance at that wee one to win the masters in 1989.

How dare you - treason against a Knight of the Realm!!!! ;) :D :D

Monty though at Winged Foot - still cannot believe he chunked his second on 18!
 
Maybe not change the result but I'd like the truth to be confirmed for the 1974 Open. Did Player's caddy cheat or not on the 71 1'st hole, and did Player 'miss' calling a foul on himself on the last hole. If both were above board, fine...

And then there's 2009. The best man won but I do wish Watson had won.
 
1995 open, although I have nothing against John Daley, I still would have preferred Rocca to have won it.

2001 Open, Duval can't stand the guy

2015. Johnson, Oosthuisen deserved it.

I can't believe people wanting to take Faldo's Masters titles away. Especially the 1996 victory. Although I would have been happy with a Norman win, the final round was an awesome display of pressure golf. Many think Faldo was lucky but he produced the best round of the day and Norman went from 6 up to lose by 5. If Norman had lost in a play off or by a single shot I would have more sympathy, but let's face it it is a 72 hole tournament.
