If you’re a fan of the NBA, you’re really doing yourself a disservice if you’re not following and watching The Starters. Their coverage of the NBA is the best combination of insight and entertainment there is, and frankly, I’m not sure there’s a comparable alternative in any sport and when it comes to golf, there’s definitely nothing that comes close to what they are doing. On one of their podcasts prior to the new year, they were taking questions on Twitter, and one of the questions that they answered was about which one player they’d like to take from a prior era and drop them right into the current NBA. It’s a great question, and one that definitely applies to every other sport, so I thought it would be interesting to put together a list of the players I’d most like to see tee it up with Rory and Jordan in 2017.

However, to make it a little more interesting, I did set a few guidelines. The first being that anyone who is still currently active doesn’t count, which means that I didn’t want to say that I’d like to see 2000 Tiger Woods show up and anyone that’s still pretty active on the Champions Tour like John Daly or Fred Couples were also excluded. The other rule I put in place was that they had to be a relatively modern player. As much as I’d like to see Walter Hagen, Ben Hogan and Bobby Jones competing now, I figured it’d look like a list of the best players of all time, and that’s not really what I wanted to get out of this exercise. Obviously I was looking for great players, but I was also looking for some of the most entertaining ones as well because after all, golf is supposed to be fun, right? In no particular order, here are the ten players I’d like to see compete in 2017.
