LIV Golf star Louis Oosthuizen delivered some interesting choices when asked to blind-rank legends of the game.

The South African recently took part in a viral trend that sees athletes given ten fellow competitors and ordering them from one to ten, based on greatness.

But there is a catch: players must create the list in real time, with no idea which names will follow.

It can lead to comical rankings, such as the one we got from darts superstar Michael van Gerwen, who was forced to place Netherlands striker Wout Weghorst above himself.

Oosthuizen, however, was more calculated with his approach and left room for golf’s biggest icons.

Even still, 15-time major winner Tiger Woods was only good enough for third place, while Rory McIlroy was left in eighth.

The game started with Oosthuizen putting seven-time major winner Arnold Palmer in fourth, noting: “I’m thinking of people who might be ahead of him.”

He was forced to take a similar approach with four-time major winner McIlroy, who was the second name out of the hat.

Oosthuizen grimaced as he put the Northern Irishman eighth, assuming there would be at least six bigger names to come.

The former Open champion did not hesitate when 18-time major winner Jack Nicklaus emerged from the pot, immediately putting the American top of his list.

His LIV Golf colleague Phil Mickelson was up next – and the six-time major winner was put in sixth position.

Oosthuizen was then given Spanish legend Seve Ballesteros, who won five majors and was widely considered one of the most imaginative and entertaining golfers ever.

“I forgot about all these names! That’s tough, man,” Oosthuizen said, before putting Ballesteros seventh.

The 41-year-old was then thrown a curveball, as female legend Annika Sorenstam made an appearance – and her ten major wins earned her fifth place on the list.

Most would assume second place was being reserved for Woods – but no.

Fellow grand slam winner Ben Hogan, who many believe had the most perfect golf swing in history, took second place.

The debate around golf’s greatest ever player is almost always centred around Nicklaus and Woods.

When Bryson DeChambeau recently took part in a game of ‘Winner Stays On’, he picked Woods over Nicklaus.

But Tiger was handed third spot on Oosthuizen’s all-time list.

With only ninth and tenth remaining, Oosthuizen had the fairly simple task of ranking LIV Golf star Dustin Johnson and the league’s CEO Greg Norman.

Both with two majors, Johnson was reluctantly put in tenth, with Norman securing ninth.
