Question

Other then Tiger Woods, who is the best golfer?

Answer 1

There are so many great players on tour, it's tough to narrow it down.  These guys are seperated by 1 or 2 lucky bounces a week; that's it.  Tiger is the only one who is "blow 'em away" better.  

Guys like Adam Scott, Colin Montgomerie, K.J. Choi, Jim Furyk, Stuart Appleby, Padraig Harrington, Ian Poulter, Retief Goosen, Charles Howell III, David Toms....they can all get it done.  Any one of them could win a tournament on any given week, if they get a couple lucky breaks.  Every player out there is pretty much evenly matched.

Jack Nicklaus said that when he was playing, he knew there were probably only 1 or 2 guys he had to beat; but nowadays, everybody in the field has a chance to win every week.  That's why every tournament, there's some new face emerging to challenge for the title.  The kid that played with Tiger on Saturday in his first tournament this year wasn't even supposed to be in the tournament!  He got in because somebody dropped out.

Answer 2

Mickelson is ranked second but that ranking system includes his record from the last two years, so it depends on how you rank them. I think that David Toms is the best all around player, besides Tiger.

Answer 4

Answer 5

In terms of pure talent, Phil Mickelson is 2nd best. Another surprise on pure talent is John Daly. He's just lost in between the ears.

Answer 6

Adam Scott.. plus he's not bad to look at.

Answer 7

Lorena Ochoa.  She's the number one on the women's side.

Answer 8

Well, if you look at the Official World Golf Rankings, it's Phil Mickelson.

Not only is Phil the #2 ranked golfer, he has won 33 PGA TOUR events in his career, thus far, ranking him 13th, all time, in that category.

He also has won three "major championships," which is tied, with Vijay Singh and Ernie Els, for second most (after Tiger Woods) among active (PGA TOUR) professional golfers.

Answer 9

Phil Mickelson is ranked #2 in the world and is at the moment the next player in line to Tiger.
