7. Arnold Palmer (USA) - Nicknamed "The King", Palmer was another trailblazer for the sport of Golf, becoming one of the first stars of the sport's television age.
Probably unlucky to be this low down, he surely would have added to his 94 professional wins and seven major championship wins had he not been in direct competition with the likes of Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player.
His seven major championships included one U.S Open, two Open Championships and four Green Jackets as Masters winner.
6. Gary Player (RSA) - Another one of the five golfers to have completed a Career Grand Slam, the South African won nine major championships including U.S Open, three Masters, two PGA Championships and three Open Championships.
He also has over 160 professional wins to his name, a remarkable tally considering the competition of Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer.
5. Walter Hagen (USA) - Only Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods have won more major championships than Hagen, who has 11 to his name.
Those 11 include two U.S Open titles, five PGA Championships titles and four Open Championships. Unfortunately, he never won a green jacket.
4. Sam Snead (USA) - He may only have seven major championships to his name, but no golfer has ever won more PGA Tour events (82) than Sam Snead.
His career spanned over four decades, in which he battled with other greats including Ben Hogan. His seven major championships consist of three PGA Championships, one Open Championships and three Green Jackets.
3. Ben Hogan (USA) - With the fourth most PGA Tour wins ever (64) and fourth most major championships wins of all time (9), Hogan is one of the five golfers to win a Career Grand Slam.
