Greg Norman
One of the most dominant players of his generation, Greg Norman has notched over 70 victories world-wide. A powerful driver, Norman was often able to overpower a course. He won his first major with a five-stroke victory in the Open Championship at Turnberry in 1986 then took another Open at Royal St. George's in 1993. Despite his many wins, Norman is often cited for his historic losses. He is the only player to have lost playoffs in all four majors. His loss in the 1996 Masters was one of the most memorable in recent memory. A shoulder injury caused him to miss seven months of the 1998 season.
