  And the best golfer of all times, hands down.  This info from various sources:

  Just from 1970-1980 in Majors: Missed 1 cut in 44 events; 38 top 10s; 30 top 5s; 10 wins.

  19 career runner up finishes in Majors (compared to Tiger's 7) to go along with his 18 wins (compared to Tiger's 15). 

  Those runner up losses were to guys like Palmer 2 times, Trevino 4 times, Watson 4 times, and several other decent players like Ballesteros, Player, Lema, and de VIcenzo.

  Meanwhile Tiger's runner ups came against perennial juggernauts like RIch Beem, Michael Campbell, Zach Johnson, Angel Cabrera, Trever Immelman, Y. E. Yang and Brooks Koepka (OK, he's pretty darned good, I'll give you that).
