A rollicking ranking of the greatest golfers of all time, past and present, brimming with the intimate stories and perspective only a longtime golf writer like Michael Arkush can muster.
So, who’s the best of 'em all? Tiger Woods? Jack Nicklaus? Bobby Jones? Ben Hogan? Golf fans will disagree until the end of time, but one thing is certain: For well over 100 years, the sport has provided its share of spectacular careers and indelible moments. And what about the players of today, such as Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth and Brooks Kopeka? Did they make the list - and if so, where?
In a joy-ride through golf history itself, New York Times bestselling author Michael Arkush establishes a ranking system that places a heavy emphasis on the game’s major championships, and profiles the most accomplished and impactful golfers ever – men and women, known and unknown. Arkush captures the flair, as well as the flaws, of athletes who are intensely competitive, funny, peculiar or larger-than-life. Crafted from hundreds of interviews, and longtime relationships developed over a quarter century, The Golf 100 is an immensely entertaining read.
