    "Walter Hagen: Baron of the Golden Age" by Stephen Lowe

    Opens, Palmer fell short in hole playoffs. Had a couple of those second-place finishes resulted in wins, Palmer would be a no-doubter top-three golfer of all time. As is, he's tied for seventh in career majors and was never able to complete the Grand Slam. Palmer is a legend synonymous with golf itself, but there are six more impressive careers to consider.

    Though Sam Snead is nowhere close to first place in major championships, he is the all-time leader in PGA Tour victories. The biggest one is that he only played the British Open five times in his career — compared to 44 times competing at the Masters. From to , that was the lone time he participated in the British Open, reducing his career chances to win majors by nearly 25 percent. World War II was another big factor, as a total of 14 majors were canceled from to Because of that, Snead missed out on a bunch of opportunities from ages 28 to 33 — an age range in which Tiger Woods won six majors and Jack Nicklaus won five.

    Open and was the runner-up four times, but that major was his white whale. Nevertheless, Snead won at least six events in six different years, the best of which was his win season in — though he didn't win a major that year, oddly enough. To this day, he is the oldest player to win a PGA Tour event, taking the Greater Greensboro Open at the age of 52 years, 10 months and eight days. And though his final major win came in , Snead also finished top 10 in the PGA Championship in , and He was 62 when he tied for third in the last of those three years.

    Majors Won : 7 U. Open, British Open. Bobby Jones is the ultimate asterisk in the PGA's record books, winning seven majors despite only being eligible to play in 50 percent of them during his short career.

    The Masters was not an event until Jones co-founded it in — four years after he retired. Jones did play in the Masters on an exhibition basis from to However, it was the only tournament he played in beyond , and he never finished in the top 10 of it. Instead, he played in the U.

    Amateur and the British Amateur, which were considered majors at the time. He won the former five times and the latter once, resulting in an unofficial total of 13 majors won. Here's the kicker: Jones retired from golf at the age of 28, winning all 13 of his majors seven official, six unofficial in the span of eight years.

    By the same age, Tiger Woods had won eight majors and Jack Nicklaus had won seven. Sam Snead didn't even win a major until he was Open and U. Amateur, becoming the only player to ever win the pre-Masters Grand Slam in a single calendar year. Had he played professionally and done so for another decade or two, Jones might have been the best ever.

    Majors Won : 11 U. Walter Hagen is one of three golfers to win at least 10 majors in his career. But in part because he played so long ago, Hagen is often an afterthought on these lists. The most remarkable thing about Hagen's achievements was the limited opportunities he had to play in majors. He never won the Masters because it wasn't founded until , which was well past his prime.

    And from to ages for Hagen , there was an average of just one major per year because of World War I. In all, there were 37 majors held from to , and Hagen won 11 of them. Though not officially considered one, the Western Open was effectively the fourth major during Hagen's time, as it was one of the events that all of the top golfers played. It was a tournament that Hagen won five times , , , , in his career, so some would argue he actually won 16 majors.
