This may have been done before now, but I thought it would be fun to hear from all the posters as to their favorite players over the years. I actually never saw two of mine play in person or on live TV, but I've read volumes about their careers. Here are mine in order. Who are your favorites?
1. Ben Hogan
2. Seve Ballesteros
3. Ben Crenshaw
4. Walter Hagen
5. Payne Stewart
 
1. Tiger woods
2. Max Homa
3. Jordan Speith
4. Jon Rahm
5. Hovland
