Below is a list breaking down how I rank the players of today.
It is important to understand that my ranking of the current players is from the perspective of what someone
looking back on our era will say. I am not trying to make predictions about who has the most talent or who will win
the next tournament. I am simply looking at the accomplishments and resumes of the current group of players on
the PGA Tour and making an assessment as to where history will place them in the all-time hierarchy of golfing
greats.
