The debates are in every sport from player to player and I don’t think too many would argue depth is the strongest currently.

But what decade had the strongest top 10?
 
The 90s is pretty solid.
TW
Lefty
Shark
Nicky Price
Els
Duval
Azinger
Montgomery
Payne
Kite
Freddy
 
In my lifetime the 80's were ok but no standout player except Faldo.

The 90's were better with Freddy hitting his stride in the early 90's, Norman playing solid golf, Price winning a few majors, Els, Vijay, Phil, & the emergence of Tiger at the end.

The 2000's were swallowed whole by Tiger Woods.

The 2010's were pretty stellar with Rory, DJ, Spieth, JT, and Koepka finishing the decade on fire. I gues either the 90's or 2010's were the deepest and the 80's were the weakest.

The 70’s top tier players are a stout group... Lead by the GOAT, Jack Nicklaus...
 
Initially, the 60s would be a consideration because of:
Nicklaus
Palmer
Player
Casper
Trevino
 
The 1970s

Nicklaus
Palmer
Watson
Trevino
Raymond Floyd
Hale Irwin
Johnny Miller
Dave Stockton (2 majors)
