Where do you think Rory sits in the historical hierarchy of golfers? Just for argument sake, let's say he doesn't win any more majors and doesn't have any long streak as world number one.

He's a Hall of Famer for sure, but I don't know if he's in the Top 10 yet. I would go with the following (in no particular order after Jack & Tiger)…
1. Jack
2. Tiger
3. Hogan
4. Arnie
5. Sam Snead
6. Tom Watson
7. Byron Nelson
8. Bobby Jones
9. Lee Trevino
10. Seve
11. Phil
12. Faldo
13. Hagen
14. Gary Player
15. Rory

Hagan (created modern professional golf) and Vardon (a damn grip) are top 5 to me with Jack, Tiger and Ben.

I would love to see one tournament a year where the Top 50 in the world rankings play a tournament with forged blade irons, persimmon woods and balata balls.

Ryder Cup Sunday singles- first match out Rory vs Bryson. Hopefully both are still in form come September.

There's so much money in this country it's insane.


So who was flying back to the panhandle?

Roy McAvoy?

Rory has inspired me to work harder than ever this year. I will break a 100 in golf AND bowling

That's not that impressive…I can easily bowl under 100.

Spieth is just a PGA away from the career slam himself, where does he land on the list if he completes it?

Spieth...What a fall he's had.

Should've never got married. JT too

Probably the Double Eagle boys.

They shouldn't have gotten hurt either.

In a vacuum, if that's the only other tourney he wins, I would consider him below the other grand slammers and also below some other golfers still. Rory gets a bump up because of longevity of peak performance.

I don't think Spieth wins another PGA without also racking up some more tourneys on a heater. He could still have a "2nd career" and move up in history.
