The single most dominant player of his time and he never turned professional.

He won the grand slam in 1930—at that time the 4 majors were the British Amateur and Open and the U.S. Amateur and Open.

Upon that amazing feat, he promptly retired from active competition at the ripe old age of 28.

He had a dynamic powerful swing and backed it up with an equally adept touch.

Jones co-founded the Augusta National Golf Club and The Masters Tournament.

Did you miss the rest of the top 10 so far? Here they are: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 and 4.

Any guesses for #2 and #1?
