Best player without a major?

Kuchar. Rickie is probably more well liked (even before the whole Mexico thing), but Kuchar has been knocking on the door for a long time.

Brandt is up there, just think it would take something extra for him to win, but he this could be the one. He has won twice at Pebble. Luke Donald is ranked 543 in the world and has no exemptions into the majors. I would say his chances of winning one are close to zero (he has played in one of the last 10). I would put Lee Westwood before him and he is stretch to win now a days too.

I'd take Xander Schauffele and possibly Jon Rahm over any of the guys listed above but neither meets the 20+ attempts criteria. In fact, Schauffelle has only played 9 but he has 3 top 5s, 4 Top 10s and 6 top 25s so he clearly plays well in majors.

What's the purpose of the 20+ attempts criteria?

Would have mentioned him but he clearly hasn't got it going in majors yet as his record, albeit limited attempts, is poor.

Kuchar right now, without a doubt. He's having a fantastic year, he's been a top-10 machine forever, and has knocked on the door several times.

A bag of left-handed junk.

Pretty much this .... I bet Hideki slips one past the goalie (PGA champ likely)

I would bet on Poulter to win one before anyone on the list other than Fowler and maybe Matsuyama. Not as talented as some (ie, Woodland and Casey) but plenty talented when he gets hot and heck of a lot grittier than everyone on that list combined. Suspect his best chances are either Open.

TS2 16.5 & 21

I think it is unfair to have the best player without a major label if you have only had 9 chances like Xander. I totally agree with you thought; Xander, Rahm, Bryson, Fleetwood, and Finau probably have better chances than anybody here other than Fowler though Fowler is going to run out of chances sooner or later. I would bet Xander or Bryson wins one before Fowler.

I think only 2 players in the last 30 years have won age 43 or older and one of them was a month ago. He has very limited time.

I was thinking that Westwood might be the all-time leader in that category, but not yet. Jay Haas has played in 87.

I totally agree with you re Finau but look at BK, he doesn't win run of the mill tour events either.
