Who are the best golfers of all time?

Golf is a sport that has been around for hundreds of years.  In modern golf (1900 - Present) there have been a few really great players.  In the early half of the 20th century, Bobby Jones from Atlanta, GA was probably the best in the world.  Then Ben Hogan from Texas came along and was another great player.  From there, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods are likely the best since.  Winning major championships is really what defines greatness in golf. Major championships include: The Masters, The US Open, The British Open and the PGA Championship.  Jack Nicklaus holds the record for most majors won.
