In the 90's (as well as today) the European Tour was the minor leagues of professional golf. Montgomerie, with his 7 consecutive Order of Merit wins, was undoubtably the best "minor league" player of the 90's. He never won a tournament when the majority of the best players in the world were in the field (i.e the PGA Tour or a Major) so he cannot be seriously considered for the title of best player of the 90's. Unfortunately, he was a "big fish" in a small pond and couldn't (or wouldn't) overcome the American crowds to play and win against the big boys. Unless of course you count all the times he kicked our rear ends in the Ryder Cup!
