In YOUR opinion,Who are the top 3 golfers in history?
545955
1)  Happy Gilmore (He made a hole-in-one on a par 4.  C'MON!!!!)\n\n2)  Jack Nicklaus\n\n3)  Tie between Arnold Palmer and Chubbs Peterson (Although Chubbs did not live up to the hype of being the next Arnold Palmer, as expressed by Sports Illustrated in 1965, he did have a very successful short career before that gator got his hand.  I've also seen him take Rocky Balboa to the final bell.  Extra points for dual sport athlete, in my opinion)
1882
I would have to say Tiger Woods but I think Michael Jordan would be up there with him a few years back.

Tiger Woods in 1997 shot 270 (70-66-65-69), breaking the old record of 271 shared by Jack Nicklaus (1965) and Raymond Floyd (1976).  Woods is also in 4th place alltime, with a 272 in 2001.

It depends on what you call "present" day golf, but here is the short answer.\n\nArt Wall has the most recorded holes in one of any PGA Tour Professional, 46, however not all were recorded in competition.  Art played the tour through the 70's.  \n\nDave Stockton is believed to have the second most, having made 26, again not all in competition.  Dave played on the tour through the 80's.

Tiger Woods is the highest paid American sportsperson, so the answer is golf.

Final Day 1986 US Masters, Jack Nicklaus wins his 18th and final Major as the Great White Shark Collapses. \n1986 was also the year Willie Shoemaker won the Derby on 20-1 longshot Ferdinand. But Nicklaus triumph was special.\n\nI think George Foreman stopping Michael Moorer was great as did Pete Sampras defeating Agassi to win his Final US Open, but the joy I had in seeing Nicklaus win was something special.\n\nAnd I don't even play golf.

I disagree with the others!!! Phil Mickelson is the best golfer.  Now that he's over his mental block he has been giving Tiger a run for his money.  Tiger USED to be the best...he will never be what he once was ever again.  Phil is now the one on top.  OHIO GOLFER gave you the stats for driving/ball striking.  That is a very small part of golf.  That is the only aspect that Tiger is leading.  Phil is #1 in money leadership, scoring average, and greens in regulation. http://www.pgatour.com/stats/r  These are directly from the PGA site.  So any of those who say Tiger is #1 need to check there stats first!!!! Thats the great thing about golf all you have to do is check the stats to figure who is the best!!!

My guess would be Bob Feller, whose 100th win came midway through the 1941 season. He would have been 22 years old. Who are you thinking of? Clearly not Prior, Woods or Zambrano (who haven't reached 100 yet) or Maddux who hit 100 in 1993 when was almost 27.\n\nPosted 2/8/06: Yeah, Gooden is third I think at 25 yrs behind Feller and Frank Hahn (about 24 or 25).
