Tiger Woods Named His 4 Greatest Golfers in History
Although it may seem big-headed to name yourself as one of the greatest golfers in history, it can’t be denied when it comes to Tiger Woods. With 82 official PGA Tour event wins, which is tied for the most of any golfer, and 15 Major wins, second only behind the aforementioned Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods is an easy selection, even for himself.
The American burst onto the scene aged 21 when he won his first Major, the 1997 Masters, which he won by an incredible 12 strokes. He then reached number 1 in the official world golf rankings less than a year after turning pro. At the age of only 24, he became the youngest golfer to win a career Grand Slam, which means winning all the four Majors.

Tiger Woods’ Picks Alongside Himself & Jack Nicklaus
Plenty of big names missed out
However, Woods’ next pick was a bit of a surprise. Bobby Jones, who many won’t be aware of, was an American golfer whose success dates back to the 1920s. Jones is famous for being an amateur, but still often beat the top professionals of that era, and also for founding the Augusta National Golf Club, which is still used every year for the Masters tournament. Although Jones doesn’t have the victories that both Woods and Nicklaus have, with ‘only’ seven Major championships at the time of his retirement, he was aged only 28.
With players like the aforementioned Palmer and Player missing, among others like Ben Hogan and Walter Hagen, it does open up a debate about who the greatest golfers in history are.
