When it comes to making lists about golf, few are tougher than ranking the best players ever.

There is a lot to consider, especially when comparing players from different eras. Each time period has different standards for technology, depth of competition and the number of tournaments being played—there is so much about this list that is subjective. Major victories, for example, are incongruent across eras based on some of these factors.

I tried to come up with an appropriate mix of old school and new school, weighing major wins heavily. Other accomplishments, like PGA Tour wins and Ryder Cup prowess, were also considered.

What I didn’t factor in was overall influence in the game. I endeavored to make a list based purely on accomplishments and playing ability rather than stardom.

You could easily make a case for 20-plus guys to make this list but these are the 10 I think have the best case for being a top-10 golfer of all time.

Tiger Woods had yet another surgery on his lower back in hopes of relieving some of the spasms he experienced this year.

The Ram Axial Forged irons finished third overall in MyGolfSpy’s Player’s Iron testing this year. It came as more of a surprise than it probably should have.

Sure, Ram and its recently resurrected stablemates MacGregor, Teardrop and Ben Hogan have some interesting things going on. That Ram came up with an excellent performing forged iron is to its credit. But it’s also important to note that the player’s Iron category is one where smaller brands can compete evenly with the so-called Big Five of Callaway, Titleist, TaylorMade, PING and COBRA.

Smaller brands have traditionally performed very well in the player’s Iron category. In 2023, the Takomo TG 301 CB finished third overall. The year before, the New Level 623 CB finished first. Ever since direct-to-consumer became a thing, entries from brands such as Ben Hogan, Sub 70, New Level and Scott Golf have performed surprisingly well.

We are talking about single-piece forgings here. The overall technology level isn’t high so there is, to a degree, a more level playing field. But still, the Ram Axial Forged did surprise us.

Therefore, it seems worthwhile to dive deeper and see just how the Axial came to be.

At best, having sweaty hands on the golf course is annoying—at worst, you’re hurling a club into oblivion.

Knowing how to stop perspiration from soaking your palms and screwing up your game could give you the edge you need to start “sweating” strokes from your scorecard instead.

The methods below are merely simple tips you can use in the moment or before you hit the links, not major lifestyle changes like daily meditation or a new diet. Although those big moves may help if you frequently find yourself stressed or feel unhealthy, they take time and won’t help when the source of your sweat is the blazing sun. And if you think you might have a medical condition like hyperhidrosis, go see a doctor who can prescribe you something to dry up your moist mitts. We can’t do that. We’re just a golf website.

1. Take your glove off

Covering your hands with golf gloves can make them sweat. And if you’re not wearing one, maybe you should be. Our testing of shots hit with gloves versus no gloves shows faster ball speeds and farther carry distances when golfers wear them.

When wearing a glove, you should be removing it after every shot. This may sound obvious but it’s the sweaty hands’ equivalent of “turning it off, then back on again.” Maybe it just didn’t occur to you and that’s OK. Ideally, you should have at least two gloves so you can swing with one, take it off, hang it from your bag or cart to dry, let your hand chill out before your next stroke and then put on the other glove and repeat the process. With any luck, this will save your hands and gloves from getting sopping wet.
