I have my own ranking of the best PGA players.
I consider not only player quality, but do they compete enough to determine is their ranking justified.
1. Vijay Singh
2. Ted Purdy
3. Patrick Sheehan
4. Daniel Chopra
5. Tim Petrovic
158. Tiger Woods
valeogut As you see I treat all the big names the same.

Your list is a little different from mine.

I think players should play as often as they like. Y'know, free country and all that.

I reckon there are a few players who might well be higher ranked if they played more - for example Mike Weir plays one of the smallest number of events among the top 50 - between playing a bit more (which means more ranking points) and probably playing a bit better because you get into a groove, he might well be a bit better off rankings-wise.

But then - can you slate a guy who has made millions at golf, is probably set for life, wanting to spend more time with his family?

It's nice to see that you are an equal opportunity rater.

I guess that in his prime you would have rated Jack Nicklaus about 150, right? You certainly have a right to your opinion, oscc, and a right to develop the criteria that you base these evaluations on. Perhaps you could share those critera with us?

Certainly, you seem to weigh quantity of golf played rather highly and quality of play somewhat lower. How much play is enough so as not to adversely affect one's rating in your scheme of things? If we knew that, perhaps we could have a discussion. As it is, your ratings just seem outrageous.

As was said earlier, you do have the right to your own opinion.
Ponder this oscc426: you are a very successful salesman with the ability to make $8 million in only a half year of work. However, your job is very demanding, requiring you to be on the road, away from your home, family and friends 5-6 days of every week you work. Realizing this, your company policy requires that you only work 26 weeks each year. Would you work 52? If you were in the top five in sales company wide, should you be considered a bad salesman because you work 30 weeks a year?

If you answer both questions honestly, they would read: no, no.
If you answer otherwise, then we all know you're just trying to stir the pot.

How did he make it this high on your list???

Before any of you get on my back about this, look at the smilie and realise I am only joking.

Its not how high on the list he made it that confuses me, its how he is sitting in "158", and not "160" etc. lol!

I'm curious as to who is ranked #157 and #159 on oscc426's list and if those guys think they're even in Tiger's league!

I believe #157 would be David Duval. GR really needs to make a joke forum for OSCC.

Very Very Interesting that your number 158 has more majors than your top 5 combined.

actually....it is Sergio..... http://www.progolfrankings.com/ranki...r_2004_all.htm

Iron Man Rankings?

I don't know how you made this discovery, Allen, but thanks for the solution to the oscc mystery rankings. Here's another case where the truth is stranger than fiction.

How "iron man" translates to "best" golfer still mystifies me. Some mysteries are best left unsolved.

No it's the link in this profile. I was like are you serrious? Yeah like the top 40 on it had 13 wins. 9 of them Vj's.
