Bob’s top 10 Golfers EVER

How do you pick the top ten golfers of all time?  I mean, it is subjective for certain, and well, just plain full of debate and fun to boot!  So let’s have at it:

10. Byron Nelson—considered golf’s greatest Gentleman — won 5 majors and 52 total PGA Tour events in a short 14 year career.  Nelson stopped playing in his early 30’s to retire and buy a ranch –  a lifelong goal of his. His coupe do gras was winning a PGA Tour record 11 tournaments in a row and a total of 18 in the year of 1945. Those two records are two of golf’s thought to be untouchable.  Nelson gave so much back to the sport that he was universally admired by the entire golf world forever—he passed his knowledge to such Hall of Fame’s as Tom Watson and Ken Venturi — he did so with as little fanfare as possible never fully taking the credit he so richly deserved.  He was the first ex-player to have a tournament named after him and it still goes on today—the former Dallas Open was renamed The Byron Nelson Classic in 1968.  He also was ABC Sports lead golf color commentator from the middle 1960’s into the 1980’s.
