During a busy day of practice and press conferences at Le Golf National outside of Paris, it was a social media post that garnered a lot of attention both for its protagonist and his message.
In a day and age when everything must be ranked, Tiger Woods was asked a simple question that requires an endlessly complex answer by the United States Ryder Cup social media team, “Who would be on your all-time Mount Rushmore of golf?”

Woods’ response of Sam Snead, Bobby Jones, Jack Nicklaus and himself made some waves, but not for a reason you’d think. While some may find Woods’ inclusion of himself as arrogant or smug, it was the exclusion of Ben Hogan that got the most play.
The correct answer is:
Bobby Jones
Ben Hogan
Jack Nicklaus
