Golf's Greatest Ball Strikers Of All Time

We just love to watch clean hitters strike the ball, don't we? The sport has seen some very gifted ball strikers over the years.

Here we take a look at some of them.

Jack Nicklaus

Nicklaus won 18 Majors during his career and one of his greatest strengths was his ball-striking. Even now, long after his retirement, a picture of Nicklaus in the finish position is quite the sight.

Tiger Woods

Woods' trademark 'stinger' shot is a fan favorite. Aside from the long list of records that he boasts and the aura that surrounds him, there’s another reason why people flock to see him hit just one shot: the sound of the ball as it leaves his clubface.

Rory McIlroy

McIlroy's ability to hit the ball so far off the tee and usually with such great accuracy, makes him one of the best ball strikers of the modern era. He’s also able to hit his iron shots extremely high and land the ball softly, another of his great assets.

Nelly Korda

Korda possesses one of the most beautiful and efficient golf swings in the game. She is the only active LPGA Tour player to feature on this list.

Adam Scott

Whenever there’s a conversation around golf’s best-looking swing, Scott is always going to be involved. And he hit the ball sweetly almost every time. He had his issues on the greens at times but he never struggled with ball striking.

Check out the complete list.
