Over the same period as Hogan's prime, Hogan won more. And Hogan's biggest accomplishments- the Grand Slam, winning all three majors he played in 1953, the scoring records, surpass Snead's.I am going to vote for Sam Snead.
Mr. Snead had the most wins until Tiger with 82, he won 7 majors, and more impressive is he won on the PGA tour for four decades.
Gotta give it up to Sam Snead:
A record 82 PGA Tour wins, spanning 1936 to 1965
Seven major championships, including three Masters and three PGA Championships
Oldest player to win, make a cut and shoot his age in PGA Tour history
Posted top 10s in majors in five different decades
He was my favorite when I was young, because I was small for my age and he was short and could hit it a mile. Haven't copied his preference for black golf clothes, thoughI'm going to say Player. 9 Majors, career Grand Slam and did it all with Jack in his prime.
He wasn’t a long hitter, but was extremely accurate.He was my favorite when I was young, because I was small for my age and he was short and could hit it a mile. Haven't copied his preference for black golf clothes, though
Jones was incredibly impressive but Tiger’s top accomplishments are clearly more impressive. Hogan’s too.Amazing how much people either aren't aware og what Jones did or just don't acknowledge it. Plus...ddo yourself a favor and watch some video of his swing when you get a chance. The most perfect swing in the history of the game. (Yes, better than Snead or Hogan'sHogan's swings).
This is why I call Jack the greatest ever, and Arnie the most influential ever.I had a feeling this sentiment would be there, but I would argue if the marketing and changing the sport was criteria, Nicklaus wouldn't even be in the discussion with Woods. IN fact he might have not finished in the top 3-4, right?
The Hogan special on the Golf Channel last night was incredible.If Hogan had played in as many events as Jack and Tiger, had not missed as many majors due to WW2, had not had that terrible accident, had played the British Open more, the mind boggles at the possibilities. Hogan has always been number 1 in my mind.
Eh... Snead and Palmer have the same number of majors, and Palmer played 11 less years, and in arguably a tougher time on tour. Hogan has 2 more majors than Snead. Player has 2 more than Snead, and more total professional wins. Not sure how Snead is leaps and bounds above some of the others people have listed.I’m scrolling through all these posts and can’t believe how many people are NOT saying Snead. In fact there’s a good argument to be made for him being the GOAT. I’d say the OP should be “top 3 are Nicklaus, Woods, Snead (in no certain order), who’s 4th?
If Snead isn’t at least top 3, then just say anything. Cosmo Kramer! Donald Duck! Donald Trump! John Daly!

Snead never reached the levels of dominance that Tiger, Jack, or Hogan reached (or his contemporary Byron Nelson reached either). Snead is definitely outside the top-3. You can argue him on the next level- Arnie, Player, Byron Nelson, etc.I’m scrolling through all these posts and can’t believe how many people are NOT saying Snead.

Hogan may have won 20 majors if not for the accident and WWII.If Hogan had played in as many events as Jack and Tiger, had not missed as many majors due to WW2, had not had that terrible accident, had played the British Open more, the mind boggles at the possibilities. Hogan has always been number 1 in my mind.
The Tiger-Jack debate is really tough. The only thing Jack has in his favor is 18 majors to 15. But Tiger's best 1,2,3,5 and 10 year stretches were better than Jack's best. Jack stayed healthy for longer.This is why I call Jack the greatest ever, and Arnie the most influential ever.
