His nine major championships consisted of four U.S Opens, two Masters, two PGA Championships and one Open Championships.

He is a four times PGA Player of the Year and five time PGA Tour money winner.

2. Tiger Woods (USA) - Commercially, he is the David Beckham of Golf, ability-wise he is the Pele.

The only reason he isn't topping this list is because his achievements don't yet match my No.1. Much like Federer in tennis, I have no doubt that Woods will become the greatest of all time.

He has earned hundreds of millions of dollars through winnings and endorsements, and is predicted to become the first ever man to become a billionaire through sports.

He has already broken numerous records, and has currently won the second most major championships of all-time (14) and third in the amount of PGA Tour wins ever (65).

1. Jack Nicklaus (USA) - The "Golden Bear" has won more major championships than any other person with 18. These included four U.S Opens, five PGA Championships, three Open Championships and an impressive six green jackets, the best ever total.

With 73 PGA Tour victories, only Sam Snead has won more, he became the first player to ever win all four major championships twice in his career.
