American Golf has some Fantastic Golfers

But 'The Hawk' is my Choice

American golf can certainly boast more than its' fair share with the likes of Woods, Nicklaus, Palmer and Trevino. On this page, from all the world's famous golfers you can select your particular favourite.

I personally hold two golf legends high on my list, Bobby Jones and Ben Hogan. But for me the "The Wee Ice Man", or, in Scottish, "Tha Wee Ice Mon", takes number one spot.

A typical golf legend would come from these famous golfers:

Old Tom Morris, Young Tom Morris, Harry Vardon, Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen, Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Sam Snead, Byron Nelson, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Tom Watson, Lee Trevino, Seve Ballesteros, Nick Faldo and Tiger Woods.

If I have left out your personal favourite European, Korean, or American golf legend then I do apologise but these players for me stand out as having changed the history of modern golf.

I for one would like to create a course of dreams and bring these greats together, all of them of course in the prime of their careers.

Who could hit the ball further than Slammin' Sam Snead who achieved phenominal distances with dinosoar equipment? Do you remeber those old clubs?

Who would be able to stand up to Ben Hogan who expected to win no matter how good the rest of the field played and he more than often did? More on Ben Hogan

There is of course a present legend, of whom American Golf can be very proud, who has all of their traits, Tiger Woods.

But does he have an edge on the others? I don't know but I would say that he is the personification of them all and my money would be on him. Check out Tiger's swing.
