I agree with the "too many variables" as being the a great reason against picking the best of all time. Equipment, competition, and conditions all come into play, and were all different from one great golfer to the other.

I will say this. I would have liked to have seen Hogan and Woods square off, in their prime. I say this just because I think these two golfers had the game that allowed, and now allows them to intimidate the other players into submission. All the great players have this attitude, but Hogan, and Woods were/are way a head of the others.

I am suprised that some TV/computer guru has not come up with show pitting all the past great against each other to come up with an eventual best of the best. Some of you might remember when this was done with all the pro boxers over the years. GJS
