Great Golf Players in the 21st Century

818

Golf is a fabulous game, played and beloved by millions of people around the world. The origins of the game, as many might now, can be traced to the Highlands of Scotland, dating all the way back to the 18th century. However, it was the expansion of the Great British Empire that helped spread the game around the world. Today, it is the Scots, the Irish, the English, the Americans, the Canadians and the Japanese that play golf the most. However, the sport is hugely popular all over the world, especially in the betting scene.

Golf and Betting

Golf’s popularity when it comes to betting might surprise some. After all, it is not really a sport that is associated with betting, especially among those who are not a part of the scene. Seasoned bettors, on the other hand, will know that the game enjoys quite a heavy coverage on various betting websites such as www.novibet.ie, where it is very popular.

The reason for golf’s popularity when it comes to betting comes from the fact that golf games are not played in seasons. Rather, there is some golf game or tournament being played somewhere around the world at any point in time.

Spectacular Players

The world of golf has seen some truly spectacular players throughout the game’s history. Of course, everyone will be familiar with certain names, such as Tiger Woods. Regarded by many as the greatest player of all time, Mr. Woods holds a number of records in the golfing world. He is tied for the most amount of PGA Tour Wins and is ranked second in terms of major championships.

If not Woods, then people believe Nicklaus to be the greatest golfer. Jack Nicklaus holds the record for most major championships, with 18 under his belt (3 more than Woods’ 15). During his long career, the so-called Golden Bear won over 100 tournaments, and competed in 160 major tournaments. He finished his career with over 70 PGA Tours.

However, these people’s popularity has reached outside the golf sphere. In this article, we would like to focus on a few players active today, who have shown to be the cream of the crop.

Great Golf Players Active Today

Standing on the backs of the aforementioned giants is the talented Rory McIlroy. Hailing from Northern Ireland, Rory is the only other player, apart from Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus, who managed to win four golf majors before the age of 25. Rory began his career in 2007, and has since had a stellar career, playing at the Ryder Cup for Europe against the United States on several different occasions, most recently in 2021.

Another player to show he has what it takes to topple the old masters is Jordan Spieth, who managed to tie Tiger Woods’ 72-hole record and became the second youngest player (next to Tiger Woods) to win the Masters. He began his professional career in 2013, and since then has seen a plethora of achievements, including winning the U.S. Open, the Tour Championship and the FedEx cup in 2015.
