Best of the decade: The ultimate listicleBest of the decade: The ultimate listicle
Another decade has come and gone, leaving us to ponder the most indelible moments of the last 10 years on the PGA TOUR. Who hit the best shot? Who had the best season? Who pulled the most heartstrings? The answers are highly subjective, which is to say the following list is a mere conversation starter, something to get the arguments started. Here are the moments that stood out and demanded to be counted when sorting through the last decade. BEST OF THE DECADE: Top 10 players | Stats of the decade | Equipment developments BEST SEASON Jordan Spieth, 2014-2015 Five wins and a FedExCup in the year he turned 22. Spieth was phenomenal on the way to 15 top-10s from 25 starts. Along with wins at the Valspar Championship and John Deere Classic, he claimed the Masters and U.S. Open to give hope of a calendar grand slam. The Texan was one shot out of a playoff at The Open Championship and runner-up at the PGA Championship. He finished the season by winning the TOUR Championship and FedExCup. Four total runner-ups, a third and two fourths also on the resume. Add an unofficial win at the Hero World Challenge, a Presidents Cup, and a win at the Australian Open and that was a season to savor. Honorable mentions: Justin Thomas, 2016-17 (five wins and the FedExCup); Tiger Woods, 2013 (five wins). BEST WIN – THE PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP Rickie Fowler, 2015 Fowler prevailed in the greatest finish to THE PLAYERS Championship ever. Over the final hour, six players had hopes of winning, and four of them were tied for the lead. Fowler played the final four holes of regulation in birdie-eagle-birdie-birdie to set the pace in the clubhouse. But both Sergio Garcia and Kevin Kisner made huge birdies on the island 17th to join him setting up the first three-hole aggregate playoff over the 16th, 17th and 18th holes. Fowler and Kisner made two birdies each to eliminate Garcia, so on to sudden death at the island green. Kisner took dead aim and hit it to 12 feet. Fowler responded in style, throwing a dagger to five feet. After Kisner’s birdie attempt came up short, Fowler birdied the hole one more time for the biggest win of his career. Honorable mentions: Tiger Woods, 2013 (11 years after his first PLAYERS win); K.J. Choi, 2011 (playoff against David Toms). BEST WIN – WORLD GOLF CHAMPIONSHIPS Jason Day, 2014 WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play The epic final match between Day and Frenchman Victor Dubuisson was incredible theatre. Day had a 2-up lead through 16 holes and appeared to be heading to victory until Dubuisson produced magic in the Arizona desert. He birdied the 17th from a fairway bunker and watched Day three-putt the 18th to send it to extra holes. It looked a short reprieve when Dubuisson found the dreaded jumping cholla cactus on approach, but an incredible recovery shot kept him alive. One hole later, he ridiculously again escaped a trapped lie around the green to extend. It took five extra holes before Day prevailed. Among others, Day had beaten Louis Oosthuizen and Rickie Fowler to get to the final, and the win was a precursor to his dominance in 2015-16. Honorable mentions: Tiger Woods 2013 WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational; Phil Mickelson 2018 WGC-Mexico Championship BEST WIN – FEDEXCUP PLAYOFFS Rory McIlroy, 2016 TOUR Championship Three shots behind with three holes to play, McIlroy holed a pitching wedge from 137 yards for eagle on the par-4 16th to catapult into contention. His 6-under 64 got him into a three-way playoff against Ryan Moore and Kevin Chappell with the FedExCup and $10 million on the line for the Northern Irishman. Four playoff holes later, back at the 16th, McIlroy knocked in his 15-foot birdie putt to win the TOUR Championship and the FedExCup in dramatic fashion. Honorable mentions: Tiger Woods, 2018 TOUR Championship; Dustin Johnson, 2017 THE NORTHERN TRUST BEST WIN – MAJORS Tiger Woods, 2019 Masters No surprise here. Nearly 11 years, plus multiple back surgeries and other upheavals removed from his 14th major (2008 U.S. Open), Woods picked up No. 15 at the 2019 Masters. Many thought the day would never come, and for a while even Woods was among them. Honorable mentions: Adam Scott, 2013 Masters; Darren Clarke, 2011 Open Championship; Sergio Garcia, 2017 Masters; Shane Lowry, 2019 Open Championship FIVE MOST MEMORABLE SHOTS Bill Haas: 17th hole, East Lake Country Club, 2011 TOUR Championship, Round 4 With the FedExCup and $10 million on the line Haas pulled his approach on the penultimate hole of the tournament into the lake in Atlanta. Miraculously it sat in the mud, half submerged in the water, and Haas played a spectacular recovery shot to save par and ultimately take home the season-long championship. Phil Mickelson: 13th hole, Augusta National, 2010 Masters, Round 4 Mickelson had just taken the outright lead with birdie on 12 but hit his driver on 13 into the pine straw and behind two trees. Instead of just laying up, he convinced himself the percentage play was a 6-iron to the green on the iconic par 5. The incredible strike from a terrible lie, through a small gap and over the greenside creek, settled 4 feet from the pin and sent him on the way to a third green jacket. Jonathan Byrd: 17th hole, TPC Summerlin, 2010 Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, Playoff Byrd was locked in a three-man sudden death playoff with Martin Laird and Cameron Percy that had gone three holes without a winner. With darkness falling, the players were given the choice to come back Monday; Byrd said he’d let the others decide. They chose to go one more hole. Byrd then promptly made an ace on the 204-yard 17th with his 6-iron to secure the win. Bubba Watson: 10th hole, Augusta National, 2012 Masters, Playoff It was fitting that a “Bubba golfâ€� shot helped him secure his first Masters. On the second playoff hole against Louis Oosthuizen, the dogleg-left, par-4 10th, Watson sent his tee shot deep into the trees and onto the pine straw. With 163 yards left blocked by trees, Watson took a 52-degree wedge and hooked it an astonishing 45 yards onto the putting surface to help him close out the tournament. Jordan Spieth: 18th hole, TPC River Highlands, 2017 Travelers Championship, Playoff Stuck in a greenside bunker after two shots and his opponent Daniel Berger on the green in regulation in sudden death, Spieth produced a perfect sand shot to win his 10th TOUR title. The ball bounced twice and rolled right into the pin and dropped. Spieth’s club toss and chest bump with his caddie may be the most memorable celebration of the decade. FIVE BIGGEST DEVELOPMENTS IN GOLF Youth Infusion: Thanks to players like Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Jason Day and Hideki Matsuyama, 20-somethings won seven straight tournaments in 2015, the most since 1986, then did it again in ’16-17. As recently as the 1990s, golfers were thought to reach their competitive peak in their 30s, but now we don’t even bat an eye when players like Joaquin Niemann, 20, break through with victories (A Military Tribute at The Greenbrier) on the PGA TOUR. The Tiger effect? Yep. They’re flexible, they hit it a mile, and they just keep coming. Tiger’s resurgence: Back in 2017, it was easy to think Woods was finished, even if very few dared say it. He’d been through so much; his body, it seemed, had aged double-time, and even he suggested he might be done when he told the press he wasn’t sure what his future held, or even what he had to look forward to. But his spinal fusion surgery was a smashing success, and against all odds he reeled off his 80th, 81st and 82nd victories at the TOUR Championship, Masters, and ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP, all in a span of just 13 months. Finished? Hardly.  Rules and schedule changes: Admit it — when you came up in the game, you never envisioned a time when we would all be putting with the flagstick in. You thought the process of taking a drop was pretty much set in stone, forevermore. Oh, and the PGA Championship, once dubbed “Glory’s Last Shot,â€� was the fourth and final major of every season, and THE PLAYERS Championship was held in May. Well, so much for all of that. Thanks to the USGA, PGA of America and PGA TOUR, the Rules of Golf and the flow of the professional tournament schedule have evolved, looking drastically different than a decade ago. TrackMan/data revolution: Bo Van Pelt, 44, returned to the PGA TOUR this season after missing nearly five years with a mysterious right shoulder injury that turned out to be a torn labrum. Naturally, he was asked if everything looked as he remembered it. “Yeah, except for the TrackMan,â€� he said of the measuring device that breaks down shots by launch angle, ball speed and spin rate, among other characteristics. “When I was out here before, only one or two people had them. But when I came back and looked around, everyone had them.â€� Never before have the best players in the world, and others, been so well positioned to match their equipment and specifications to their unique swings. Task force: After another deflating Ryder Cup loss to Europe at Gleneagles, Scotland, in 2014, Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods were among a handful of American stars who went to work on the creation and development of a U.S. task force to get better at major team competitions. Since then, the U.S. has gone 3-1 in Presidents and Ryder Cups, and is heavily favored to make it 4-1 at the Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne, Dec. 12-15. FIVE MOST EMOTIONAL WINS (NON-MAJORS) Bubba Watson, 2010 Travelers: After crying on his wife’s shoulder after his first PGA TOUR victory, Watson explained it all in his post-round interview: “My dad’s battling cancer right now. Dad, I’m praying for you. I love you.â€� Four months later, Gerry Watson passed away. Charlie Beljan, 2012 Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Classic: Won with his TOUR status in jeopardy and two days after suffering a panic attack that sent him to the hospital after his second round. Charles Howell III, 2018 The RSM Classic: Broke an 11-year win drought (4,291 days to be specific). He teared up as he hugged his wife, Heather, and their two kids, neither of whom had previously seen him win. Nate Lashley, 2019 Rocket Mortgage Classic: Walking up 18, he thought about his parents, who along with his girlfriend died in plane crash after watching him play in a college event in 2004. Cameron Champ, 2019 Safeway Open: Triumphed just down the road from Sacramento, where his grandfather, Mack, who taught him the game, lay watching in hospice care. MORE BEST OF THE DECADE Fastest finish: Kevin Streelman made seven straight closing birdies to win the ’14 Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Connecticut. “I was in blackout mode,â€� he said. Best comeback (career): After not winning for over five years, Tiger Woods won three times in 13 months at the TOUR Championship, Masters, and ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP. Best comeback (one week): Feel-good story Kyle Stanley won the Waste Management Phoenix Open just one week after giving up a three-shot lead on the last hole and losing a playoff to Brandt Snedeker at the 2012 Farmers Insurance Open. Best comebacks (single round): Stanley again, as he came from eight back to catch a faltering Spencer Levin at the 2012 Waste Management Phoenix Open; Justin Rose also came from eight back to catch a faltering Dustin Johnson at the 2017 World Golf Championship-HSBC Champions. Most likely record to fall that didn’t: Sam Snead winning the 1965 Greater Greensboro Open (Wyndham Championship) at 52 set the record for oldest to win on TOUR. It was a mark that seemed destined to fall, but somehow it survived the decade despite a few close calls. Davis Love III won the 2015 Wyndham at 51 years, 4 months, 10 days, becoming the third-oldest to win on TOUR. Vijay Singh, at 56, was just a shot back through 54 holes at The Honda Classic last season before carding a final-round 70 for solo sixth place. The record remains, but for how long? Most unusual feat: Brian Harman made two holes-in-one in the final round of the 2015 The Barclays at New Jersey’s Plainfield Country Club. He had never had a single ace on TOUR, and had double-bogeyed one of the holes (the third) the day before. Only twice had a player accomplished the feat of double aces in a single round, according to TOUR records: Bill Whedon at the 1955 Insurance City Open, and Yusaku Miyazato at the 2006 Reno-Tahoe Open. Best drama: Phil Mickelson hadn’t won in three years. Henrik Stenson hadn’t won a major, and indeed no Swedish man had. They clashed at the ’16 Open Championship at Troon, where Stenson was 20 under, Mickelson 17 under. (J.B. Holmes, their closest pursuer, was 6 under.) The final round was epic: Mickelson’s bogey-free 65 was his best final round in a major, but Stenson made 10 birdies, becoming the second player to win a major with a final-round 63. He also became the first Swede to win a men’s major. “It’s probably the best I’ve played and not won,â€� Mickelson said. Best week: Justin Thomas was near-unconscious during the 2017 Sony Open in Hawaii. Having already won at the Sentry Tournament of Champions the week before, Thomas opened with a historic 59 at Waialae Country Club and then added rounds of 64-65-65 to finish at 27 under, win by seven, and set a new PGA TOUR scoring record of 253 for 72 holes. Any questions? Best round: Jim Furyk had already shot a 59 at Conway Farms in the 2013 BMW Championship. Then came his 12-under 58 at TPC River Highlands in the 2016 Travelers Championship, the round of the decade and still the lowest ever on TOUR. Furyk had an eagle and 10 birdies while hitting 13 of 14 fairways and all 18 greens in regulation. He even had a putt for 57 on the final green. “I had an amazing 18-hole stretch,â€� he later told the PGA TOUR. “I had an amazing four hours. Would I trade it (for a win)? It’s a nice feather in my hat. It’s over. I did it. Someday I’ll be sitting back with a cocktail in my hand and my feet kicked up and I’ll tell the story.â€� Best streaks Dustin Johnson won at least once every season of the decade, including a three-event stretch in 2017 in which he won, in consecutive starts, the Genesis Open, World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship and World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play. Rory McIlroy won The Open Championship, World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship and PGA Championship in consecutive starts in the summer of 2014. Kevin Chappell tied the PGA TOUR record of nine straight birdies on the way to shooting a 59 at the 2019 A Military Tribute to the Greenbrier. Brendon Todd’s 12 consecutive rounds of 68 or better in the just-completed fall portion of the 2019-20 season was the longest such streak of the decade. Honorable mention: Phil Mickelson made every available Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup team of the decade until this upcoming 2019 Presidents Cup.
Top 10 players of the decade, 2010-2019Top 10 players of the decade, 2010-2019
If the previous decade was dominated by a single player, the 2010s was about trying to fill the void Tiger Woods left atop the sport. It wasn’t a spot he vacated without a fight, though. Woods still had a large impact in the 2010s, authoring some of this decade’s most memorable victories and adding another PGA TOUR Player of the Year Trophy to his collection. BEST OF THE DECADE: The ultimate Best of Decade list | Stats of the decade | Equipment developments Woods entered the decade as golf’s biggest star, but his quest to rebuild his game and his life was the biggest story when 2010 began. No one asserted themselves in his absence, and he returned with a vengeance by winning eight times in 2012 and 2013. As Woods’ back started to give him trouble, a new crop of stars arrived on the scene. They’d grown up watching Woods and were inspired by his dominance. The latter half of the 2010s was defined by a crop of players who took turns atop the game — players such as Brooks Koepka, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas and Jason Day. Where golf used to be a battle between the generations, it was increasingly becoming a young man’s game. It was fun to watch and sets up well for the next 10 years. Before turning the calendar, let’s count down our top 10 players of the decade. 10. PHIL MICKELSON Mickelson started the decade with an emotional victory at Augusta National. It ended with a win that was testament to his incredible longevity. Perhaps the greatest round of his career sat between those two benchmarks. Mickelson won the first major of the 2010s. It was his third green jacket, and the fact that his wife, Amy, could greet him behind the 18th green made it even more special. She was battling breast cancer at the time, as was his mother. Mickelson’s final-round 66 at Muirfield gave him an unexpected win at the 2013 Open Championship. It was a masterful performance on a trying links in the tournament least-suited for his style of play. “I never knew if I would be able to win this tournament. I always hoped and believed but I never knew it,â€� Mickelson said afterward. He had to wait more than 4 1/2 years for his next PGA TOUR victory, but Mickelson’s win at the 2018 World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship, and then at this year’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, proved his agelessness and unbounded enthusiasm for the game. Only his social media videos have been more entertaining to watch. 9. BUBBA WATSON When Watson arrived on the PGA TOUR in 2006, he quickly gained attention for his pink driver shaft, homemade swing and big, bending tee shots. He established himself among the elite – and possibly earned a spot in the World Golf Hall of Fame – with his play in the 2010s. Watson’s 12 PGA TOUR victories were the third-most in the decade. That haul includes two Masters and two World Golf Championships. The tears flowed when he won his first title at the 2010 Travelers. A few weeks later, he lost a playoff to Martin Kaymer at the PGA Championship. It was just two years later that he made the improbable journey from tiny Bagdad, Florida, to a permanent place in the game’s lore as a Masters champion. He won his second green jacket two years later. He also has had success at another classic course, winning three times at Riviera Country Club. And he won three times at the Travelers Championship, proving that he’s tough to beat on a course that fits his unique style of play. In an age of analytics, Watson proved that there’s still room for creativity. 8. JASON DAY Day had one of the best runs of the decade from 2015-16. He won seven times in 17 starts, including victories at the PGA Championship and THE PLAYERS, and reached No. 1 in the world. He won a dozen times during the 2010s, including a major, PLAYERS, two World Golf Championships and two FedExCup Playoffs events. He did it with booming drives and a deft touch around the greens, including the best Strokes Gained: Putting season ever recorded. He’s still just 32 years old, so several big years could still be ahead of him. It just depends if he can keep injuries at bay and keep his desire high. 7. JUSTIN ROSE Golf is increasingly becoming a young man’s game, but Rose, who burst onto the scene as a 17-year-old, saved his best season for his late 30s. How did he do it? A continued obsession with improvement. As one of the first players to embrace high-tech training methods, Rose was a trailblazer for the modern PGA TOUR pro. “From how he eats, to how he trains, to how he breaks down a golf course, he has a very thoughtful approach to maximizing his probability for success,â€� said Rose’s swing coach, Sean Foley. “Sometimes people are afraid to change what they do or how they do it. His lack of satisfaction in what he’s doing has really pushed us to look under every rock.â€� A 20-yard gain in driving distance helped him win the 2013 U.S. Open at Merion. Turning his biggest weakness, his putting, into a strength, helped him win the 2018 FedExCup at age 38. He was the same age when he reached No. 1 in the world ranking for the first time. Throw in an Olympic gold medal and few players can match Rose’s haul in the 2010s. 6. JUSTIN THOMAS Thomas has won 11 times since joining the PGA TOUR in the 2014-15 season. Only one player has more titles in that span (Dustin Johnson, 12). Thomas’ 10 wins since the start of the 2016-17 season are two more than anyone else. His breakout season came in 2017, when he won five times and claimed the FedExCup. A wrist injury sidelined him this spring, but it looks like he’s ready to resume his winning ways after claiming two wins in a four-event span (BMW Championship, THE CJ CUP @ NINE BRIDGES). Thomas is just the fifth player in the past 60 years to win at least 11 PGA TOUR titles, including a major, before turning 27. The others? Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth. Thomas celebrates his 27th birthday in April. Conventional wisdom says that his best years are still ahead of him. That means his impact on the next decade could be even bigger than the large one he had on the 2010s. 5. TIGER WOODS The decade got off to an ignominious start for Woods, but he worked his way back to the top of the world ranking by winning eight times in 2012 and 2013. He was named the PGA TOUR’s Player of the Year for a record 11th time in 2013, when his five wins included his second PLAYERS Championship. Injuries sidelined him for the next several seasons but also set the stage for one of the greatest comebacks in sports. There was a time when Woods struggled to get out of bed because of his bad back. He had multiple surgeries, but it wasn’t until he underwent a spinal fusion that he was able to return to the course full-time. Woods leading an exuberant horde down East Lake’s 18th fairway and the joyful celebration he shared with his children at Augusta National will go down as two of the game’s enduring images. He added another highlight before the calendar turned, winning THE ZOZO Championship to tie Sam Snead’s record for PGA TOUR wins (82). All that guarantees that Woods will be one to watch for a fourth decade. 4. BROOKS KOEPKA Koepka’s career started in anonymity on the Challenge Tour. He won around the world before returning to the United States. His first full season on the PGA TOUR came in 2015. He was the game’s dominant force in the second half of the decade. He won four majors from 2017-19, going back-to-back at both the U.S. Open and PGA Championship. He’s the only player in the game’s history to accomplish that. He closed out the 2010s by finishing in the top four in all four of this year’s majors. Koepka’s brawny game and bravado have made him the game’s alpha character. The same discipline that he’s exhibited in the gym is an asset on the toughest conditions. He’s at his best when others complain about severe setups, showing the patience to play for the safe side of the pin while other players are making frustrating bogeys. “I think sometimes the majors are the easiest ones to win,â€� Koepka said at this year’s PGA. “Half the people shoot themselves out of it, and mentally I know I can beat most of them.â€� 3. JORDAN SPIETH Spieth was in high school when the decade started. It will end with him in the midst of a 2 1/2-year winless drought. His influence in the 2010s extends beyond a resume that will likely lead to the World Golf Hall of Fame, though. While it feels like he’s been on TOUR for more than a decade, he’s still just 26 years old and the owner of 11 PGA TOUR titles, including three majors. Spieth was the trailblazer for the Class of 2011 and the young players who followed. He used sponsor exemptions to earn his card at 19, then became the first teenager to win on TOUR since 1931 Two years later, he had the best season of the decade. He won five times and flirted with the Grand Slam before capping his season by claiming the FedExCup. He hasn’t won since his dramatic victory at the 2017 Open Championship, but Spieth has shown a knack for pulling off the improbable. That will serve him well in his quest to regain his former form. 2. DUSTIN JOHNSON Johnson suffered some of the most stinging losses of the 2010s, but like McIlroy, he also won 18 times. That haul includes the 2016 U.S. Open, six World Golf Championships and four FedExCup Playoffs events. He was the only player to qualify for the TOUR Championship in all 10 seasons, and his average FedExCup finish this decade was 10.6. He finished in the top 5 of the FedExCup standings in half of those seasons. He also had the most top-5 (58) and top-10 (88) finishes of the decade. He was only a few strokes away from winning the career Grand Slam, as well. In addition to his win in Oakmont, he finished runner-up in the other three majors. Among those close calls was the infamous bunker ruling at the 2010 PGA, a final-round 82 at the 2010 U.S. Open and a 2-iron that sailed O.B. in the final round of the 2011 Open Championship. He also finished a stroke behind Tiger Woods at this year’s Masters and almost forced Koepka into a record-setting collapse at the 2019 PGA. It’s easy to focus on what could have been. But don’t let that overshadow what Johnson did during the 2010s. 1. RORY McILROY He was a pudgy, mop-topped kid when he burst onto the PGA TOUR in the first year of the decade. His first victory in the United States is still memorable thanks to his fantastic final-round 62 at Quail Hollow. It was a harbinger, introducing American fans to McIlroy’s explosive play. We saw it again with his eight-shot victories at the 2011 U.S. Open and 2012 PGA Championship. McIlroy and Tiger Woods are the only players to win multiple majors by eight or more shots. McIlroy’s 18 PGA TOUR victories between 2010 and 2019 are tied with Dustin Johnson for most in that span. McIlroy and Brooks Koepka both won four majors in this decade, and McIlroy’s haul also included the 2019 PLAYERS, three World Golf Championships and five FedExCup Playoffs events. McIlroy is the only player to win two FedExCups in this decade (Woods is the only other player to win the Cup multiple times, doing so in 2007 and 2009). All those accomplishments make McIlroy a unanimous choice for the top player of the decade.
