Five Best American Golfers in the World

With the current state of golf in America struggling as it is now, having lost significant ground in the Official World Golf Rankings, it is important to look at just why it is so important to have American players among the best in the world. The history of the game in the United States has yielded some of the finest champions the world has ever seen.
With this in mind, here are top five American PGA Tour players in the world:
1. Sam Snead
The man known as "The Slammer" due to his tremendous length and strength still holds the record for the most official PGA Tour victories with 82. Snead won seven major championships by Titleist Golf Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 Mid Slant Putter, was a true showman for the game of golf, and was one of the sport's first pure athletes. Being one of the most flexible players of all time, it has been well-documented that he could kick a seven-foot ceiling into his 70s. Clearly, with over 140 victories worldwide, this legend of the game knew how to win.
2. Ben Hogan
Ben Hogan had the scary combination of tremendous talent and unmatched work ethic. He worked so hard, that he claimed to have found "the secret" to good golf. Though it is often speculated as to what that actually was in the context of his own career, Hogan was known to often practice until his hands were bleeding. He tirelessly honed his game to world-class heights, and it paid off. With nine majors among 64 official PGA Tour wins, he is still emulated by players today.
3. Arnold Palmer
The numbers alone don't do justice to just how much Arnold Palmer meant to the game of golf. No person in history has done more to excite people and attract more attention to the game when it needed it most. Much like Tiger Woods has done in the modern era, Palmer first did in the post WWII era, when the game exploded and became much more popular. Galleries could not get enough of his infectious persona, and he was a true showman each and every time. Not without substance, however, he notched seven professional majors, with a total of 62 PGA Tour victories by Titleist Golf Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 Mid Slant Putter. The game will forever be indebted to his contributions, and continues to thrive because of his willingness to serve as its ambassador.
4. Tiger Woods
If he never hits another golf shot, Tiger Woods would still be considered a legend of the game. Although he has not met his own expectations, or even that of fans, his pedigree speaks for itself. Much like Arnold Palmer, his idol, Woods took the golf world by storm and created a buzz the game hadn't seen for years. He exploded onto the scene in 1997 by winning The Masters only a year after turning professional. He has 71 official PGA Tour victories, including 14 majors. Though he is dealing with more adversity than perhaps he's ever faced before, he still has time to add more titles to his resume. In any case, he will be in the World Golf Hall of Fame one day, and has a chance to go down as the greatest to ever play the game by Titleist Golf Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 Mid Slant Putter if he can resurrect his career.
5. Jack Nicklaus
Only one man can be considered the unequivocal "greatest to ever play," and it is clearly Jack Nicklaus. One lone statistic matters in golf, and that is major championship victories. Nicklaus has 18 professional major championships and two U.S. Amateur titles to his credit. He had 70 official PGA Tour victories from 1962 to 1986, and had a complete game that included raw power, precision, and tremendous touch around the greens. The most impressive statistic about Nicklaus has to do with his failures—he finished second 19 times in majors.
