I am going with the same criteria as I did for the 25 worst golfers to win a major championship, with one change: I am making it a top-26.
Why 26? It’s simple. Steve Elkington is not in the same class as these other golfers, but his accomplishments make him appear to be. While everyone else arguably underachieved winning only one major, Elkington overachieved. But unlike every other overachiever in golf, Elkington time and time again stepped his game up in prestigious events. That deserves a mention, and thus he makes this list.

25 Worst Major Champions Since World War II
Okay. I’ve looked at every golfer to win one of golf’s four male major professional tournaments and picked out the 25 worst to win a title. There have been some very obscure champions, three of which even won multiple titles. But these were the worst.
Now, there were some that were less accomplished. Ian Baker-Finch didn’t achieve that much in his career, but before his mental collapse he was a top-ten golfer and many thought he would win multiple titles. He was not one of the 25 worst.
We all know that Tiger Woods’ absence will negatively impact the PGA Tour but few have actually taken a step back to examine exactly why his absence will have such a huge impact on the Tour.

What a Beautiful Game
I don’t get out much. My normal day usually involves myself watching countless re-runs of Sports Center, playing online solitaire, and reciting the lyrics of the South Park theme song. My daily agenda consists of three words; eat, sleep, and repeat. So when a few of my new buddies called me up to play a fun round of golf yesterday, I said, “Hell, why not?”
So, the new PGA Golf season has come upon us. Here are some players to watch out for this season…

Lefty is just gettin started…
Phil Mickelson had forty-two chances to win a Major, but even with all of the talent and potential in the world, he couldn’t put every aspect of his game together until his birdie on the eighteenth to win The Masters in 2004. At that moment, his mystique of being the ultimate underdog vanished that Sunday afternoon at Augusta and since then, Mickelson’s achievements have silenced his critics and captivated his fans through his sheer determination as someone who can not only keep up with Tiger, but beat him.

While baseball (or football depending how you look at it) may be America’s national past time at the pro level, golf is becoming America’s “Every Man” game. Ever since the emergence of Tiger Woods made golf cool again, people all over the country have been picking up the game. I, myself, am an avid golfer. I take my 10-handicap to my local golf course, Beaver Meadow, almost everyday during the summer. There’s just something about being around good people, nature, and the relaxing atmosphere that makes the game irresistible.
Unfortunately, every once in a while you come across someone that nobody wants to play with. Becoming one of these “Singletons” is actually very easy. Just follow this simple advice and you won’t be playing with other humans for a long time.
