Who is the best golfer ever?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Some argue it is tiger woods or jack nicholous but Arnold palmar could be in the mix too i say that those three and hogan have been the best who have played the game

Hmmmmm. first off you need to work on your spelling. Tiger Woods will definitely be the best golfer ever and break all the records. Jack Nicklaus will probably be considered the most clutch ball striker of all time, with Tiger being the most clutch putter. Palmer was just an awesome guy and Hogan had the prettiest swing. I can't believe you didn't put Sam Snead (most wins all time 82). what about Bobby Jones who just hung up playing to pursue his academic accomplishments. (passed the bar exam after one year studying.) All these guys are/were incredible, but undoubtedly Tiger will be the best ever! HANDS DOWN!
