Bryson DeChambeau Names Greatest Golfer of All Time Without Hesitation originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Over the past several months, Bryson DeChambeau has kept busy—not only competing on the LIV Golf circuit and appearing in all four major PGA Tour events, but also taking part in the recently released film “Happy Gilmore 2,” which features appearances from several professional golfers.
Ahead of the film’s release last Friday, a premiere event was held, where DeChambeau was asked to share his boldest “hot take” in all of sports. While he admitted his answer wasn’t particularly controversial, he didn’t hesitate to declare who he believes is the greatest golfer of all time.
“I don’t think it’s hot, but I think Tiger [Woods] is the greatest golfer of all time,” DeChambeau said.

Many consider Woods the undisputed ‘GOAT’—and rightfully so. His résumé is unmatched in golf history. He burst onto the scene with his professional debut at age 20 and went on several dominant runs where he seemed unbeatable, regardless of the course or competition
Woods is a 15-time major champion with 82 PGA Tour victories, tied for the most all-time. He has been named PGA Tour Player of the Year a record 11 times and is one of only six players to complete the career Grand Slam—winning each of the four majors at least once. The latest to join that elite group was his close friend Rory McIlroy, who completed the feat earlier this year by capturing his first Masters title.
“This guy’s a freak of nature and I want to be him one day.”

Tiger’s achievements are even more remarkable considering the extensive injuries he’s endured throughout his career. Most recently, he was preparing to compete in this year’s Masters before suffering a ruptured Achilles, forcing him to withdraw.
Now at age 49—and turning 50 in December—it’s unclear what version of Woods we’ll see if and when he returns. At this point, it’s likely he’ll limit his appearances to the major championships.
