Seve Ballesteros (1980)

4 wins. 1 Major (The Masters)

Ballesteros played on a rare combination of talent and heart. His intensity and style of play have constantly required high-risk recoveries and clutch putting that drew fans into his corner. His gifts of imagination, touch and determination on the course helped Ballesteros win more than 70 professional tournaments, including five majors.

 

 

Billy Casper (1966)

4 wins. 1 Major (U.S. Open)

Because of an ultra-efficient manner of play and a quiet personality that contrasted with his more famous contemporaries, Billy Casper is perhaps the most underrated star in golf history. In his prime, Casper was overshadowed by Palmer, Nicklaus and Gary Player, who were marketed as The Big Three. But from 1964 to 1970, Casper won 27 U.S. events, six more than Palmer and Player combined, and two more than Nicklaus. 

 

 

Nick Faldo (1989)

4 wins. 1 Major (The Masters)

Between 1987 and 1995, Faldo won six major championships-three British Opens and three Masters. Although he has a total of 39 tournament victories around the world, including six events on the PGA TOUR, Faldo’s focus has always been on his performance in the Masters, U.S. Open, British Open and PGA Championship. In one stretch between 1988 and 1993, Faldo was never out of the top 20 in a Grand Slam event.

 

 

Raymond Floyd (1982)

3 wins. 1 Major (The PGA Championship)

In notching 22 PGA TOUR victories, including four major championships from 1963 to 1992, Floyd distinguished himself as a player without a discernible weakness and whose strengths were a superb short game and an obvious mental toughness. The latter was manifested in his distinctive stare, the look of complete concentration that invariably took over his features when he was in contention for a title.
 
 
 

 

Walter Hagen (1924)

3 wins. 1 Major (The PGA Championship)

Hagen was the world’s first full-time tournament professional. He won so often and in such lavish style that he single-handedly ushered in the era of the playing pro-who through the early century was clearly of a lower station than the game’s wealthy amateurs-into the socially exclusive world of golf. As Arnold Palmer, the other great democrat of his sport, once said at a dinner honoring Hagen: “If not for you, Walter, this dinner tonight would be downstairs in the pro shop, not in the ballroom.”
 
 
 

 

Johnny Miller (1974)

8 wins

In golf’s modern era, it’s commonly understood that no player has ever achieved the brief but memorable brilliance of Johnny Miller. In 1974 and 1975, Miller won 12 tournaments. More important than the number of the victories was the manner in which they were achieved, for during this streak Miller hit the ball consistently closer to the flag than any player in history. At his best, Miller’s game was marked by incredibly aggressive and equally accurate iron play.
 
 
 

 

Gary Player (1974)

3 wins. 2 Majors (The Masters, The Open Championship)

When speaking of Gary Player, it’s common for observers to say something along the lines of: “He’s done more with less than any golfer I’ve ever seen.”The less is Player’s improbable 5-7, 160 pounds, his unorthodox method and his hailing from a small country (South Africa) in a remote corner of the world. The more includes nine major championships, the modern Grand Slam, 165 tournament victories around the world-including 24 official PGA TOUR victories-and nine Senior Tour majors.
 
 
 

 

Sam Snead (1949)

6 wins. 2 Majors (The Masters, The PGA Championship)

Sam Snead was the greatest athlete among golf’s great champions. The swing he employed to win tournaments over six decades remains the archetype of power and grace, his longevity the benchmark of an incredible talent. In more than 50 years as an active competitor, Snead won a record 82 official PGA TOUR events, and he can safely claim more than 140 worldwide. Nicknamed “The Slammer” for the strength of his shots, he won seven major championships.

 

 

Payne Stewart (1999)

2 wins. 1 Major (U.S. Open)

Payne Stewart will be remembered for many achievements. But Stewart had one of the most stylish swings of the modern era. It was not the structured action of many of today’s players, but rather a long and wonderfully graceful and fluid movement. Stewart’s clothes were as stylish as his swing. His outlandish plus-fours, tam and elegant outfits made him unmistakable on the course. On Oct. 25, 1999, Stewart’s life was tragically cut short in a private plane crash near Aberdeen, S.D. The words of respect and admiration for Stewart started soon after as word of his death spread.
 
 

 

Tom Watson (1977)

5 wins. 2 Majors (The Masters, The Open Championship)

Beginning in 1977, Watson won six PGA TOUR Player of the Year awards, and he led the money list five times. Yet it was his head-to-head victories against Nicklaus, 10 years his senior, that cemented him as a player for the ages.The first came at the 1977 Masters where Watson countered Nicklaus’ fourth-round charge with four birdies on the closing six holes to win by two. Four months later in the British Open at Turnberry, the two engaged in the most intense and highest caliber sustained battle in the history of major championship golf. Tied after 36 holes, they were paired together in the final two rounds. Nicklaus shot 65-66, only to be beaten by Watson’s 65-65.
