In every generation, one or two golfers have stood out from all others. In the late 1800s, Old Tom Morris and Young Tom Morris were heralded as the best competitors in golf, followed by Harry Vardon, then Bobby Jones, Gene Sarazen and Byron Nelson. Sam Snead and Ben Hogan were the major players in the 1950s; then, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus stood out as the very best of the 1960s, 1970s and into the 1980s. In the 1990s, Nick Price, Nick Faldo and Greg Norman were the limelight players until Tiger Woods hit the scene.

Tiger’s run of record-setting tournament golf and Tour wins has lasted a long time, and no one knows if his winning career is over yet or not. In recent years, Dustin Johnson had a great chance of making history until he chose to be bought out by the LIV Tour. Surely, Jordan Spieth made a huge impact, especially with his first few years on Tour. Although Jordan is exciting to watch, I doubt he will be the runaway favorite to win every tournament, as Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Tiger were. Presently, I feel we may be witnessing a new superstar in the making with Scottie Sheffler.
