hi
i think you have to say what you mean by best. best winner, best player. best swinger. best striker of a ball, best putter. best short player.
you have the likes of trevino that had no money and played for $100 just to put food in his belly, gary player was the same when he started, sleeping in his car as he could not afford a room. hogan when he was told he would never play again and come back in 8 weeks and was swinging a club, he almost died. bobby jones the greatest amature the ever played, played to with the trophy and not the money. and you have tiger the number on in golf today, over a $1,000,000,000 before he even left school. made for life at 16 and still wanting to win. there are so many best's in golf and all add to this wonderful game by the way they all play and conduct themself's. no other sport has this. maybe its the game of golf thats the best and not just the players.
