Who are the best putters in golf history? Some of the most iconic golfers ever make the list. They are the true greats of the game, able to make difficult putts when it counts to win it all. They come through in a clutch situation, besting opponents with a combination of technical prowess, steely nerves and yes, some luck. Golfers, time to weigh in: Which golfers do you think deserve the title of best putter in golf? Vote for your favorites, add any that might be missing and re-rank this list in any order you want.

Any list of the greatest putters ever in golf should include Tiger Woods, arguably one of the best golfers ever and certainly among the <a href="/crowdranked-list/best-athletes-of-all-time" target="_blank">best athletes of all time</a> in any sport. Not only that, but he&#39;s one of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-clutch-golfers/ranker-sports" target="_blank">most clutch golfers in history</a>. When Tiger is on, he&#39;s really on, and few golfers have ever been able to match his ability to read the green. That&#39;s what makes a great putter, really: You must be able to read the break and anticipate the golf ball&#39;s speed, angle and how it will move. If you can judge distance well, and control any nerves, you can avoid those nasty three putts and finish strong once you reach the green.

Who else makes the list of all-time great putters in golf? How about The Golden Bear, aka Jack Nicklaus? And certainly, Ben Crenshaw ranks right up there - his stroke was just gorgeous. This list is a mix of some of the most legendary professional golfers&nbsp;of decades gone by and some newer names - golfers who have the potential to become the best putters ever (Luke Donald and Adam Scott, two of the <a href="/list/top-20-golfers-in-the-world/smartcaddy" target="_blank">top golfers in the world right now, come to mind</a>). Who makes your list? Remember, you can and should rerank this list, putting players in the exact order you think they belong.

When it comes to golf, driving is always the first step. While having a good short game and sinking putts can typically make or break your handicap, it&#39;s the long game that gets the ball where it needs to go first: toward the green. In other words, a golfer&#39;s short game and putting skills rely heavily on that first drive. So whether you&#39;re talking those with&nbsp;the longest drives, complete&nbsp;accuracy, or consistency, the best drivers in golf are easily some of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-golfers-of-all-time" target="_blank">best golfers of all time</a>. Of all the professional golfers out there, however, who are the best long game golfers?

In general, a good long game is always essential to success in golf, but when teeing up on a par 5 it becomes all the more important. It&#39;s not just the longest drive golfer&#39;s are after, either; those distant drives need to be precise as well. Considering this, some of the best drivers in golf history include the likes of Dustin Johnson, all-time great Jack Nicklaus, and Ben Hogan&mdash;just to name a few. Sure, these guys are <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-short-game-golfers/ranker-sports" target="_blank">great short game golfers</a> too, but it&#39;s their driving skills that make them the best of the best. Who&#39;s your pick for the golfers with the best long game?

Take a look at the list of pros below and vote up the guys you think are the best long game golfers of all time. If you see someone is missing from the list, feel free to add them.

While it may require precise skill and serious talent, golf is a very mental game. Considering this, performing in &quot;clutch&quot; situations is no easy feat. Whether it be the crowd, the weather, or their own interfering thoughts, sinking that long putt under pressure can be nerve racking for even the best golfers. Nevertheless, some of the best professional golfers thrive in these times&mdash;making them the most clutch golfers in the game. Of all the high-stakes performers, though, who are the most clutch golfers of all time?

Sure, you can argue many of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-golfers-of-all-time" target="_blank">best golfers in history</a> are also serious clutch performers, but even Tiger Woods can falter at times. When it comes down to it, some golfers simply&nbsp;make a 30-foot putt in stressful situations with ease. From Jack Nicklaus (who holds the longest putt record) to <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-current-putters-in-golf/ranker-sports" target="_blank">current putting master</a> Jordan Spieth, there are plenty of clutch golfers who stand above the rest when under pressure. Of course, sinking putts isn&#39;t the only thing that makes for a clutch performance. Landing the green when a birdie is a must or hitting out of the sand can be just as tough. No matter the circumstances, who do you think handles these important lies when it matters most?

Check out the list of clutch golfers below and vote up those who always come out performing. If you see someone missing from the list, feel free to add them.

Long and precise drives are always impressive, but the ability to hit it well down the fairway means nothing without a good short game. Whether you&#39;re just a bit shy&nbsp;of the green or happen to slice it left in&nbsp;a sand trap, the short game can be one of the most important parts&nbsp;of golf&mdash;and any one of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-golfers-of-all-time" target="_blank">best golfers</a> will tell you that. Now, considering how impactful this side of golf can be, it&#39;s often the the golfers with the best short game&nbsp;that come through on top (but a good putt goes a long way too). Regardless, who do you think is the best short game golfer of all time?

While you could argue drives require just as much precision as a chip from the rough, it&#39;s that very chip that either gets the ball to the green or doesn&#39;t.&nbsp;In short, no matter where the ball lands after a drive, it&#39;s the short game that gets it onto the green. So, when it comes to golfers with the best short game, guys like Luke Donald and the great Chi Chi Rodriguez are certainly up at the top, but you can&#39;t forget the incredible&nbsp;Seve Ballesteros&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-left-handed-golfers/left-handed" target="_blank">top left-hander</a> Phil Mickelson, among plenty of&nbsp;others. These greats all&nbsp;prove&nbsp;you can do a lot from just off the green&mdash;and quite often it&#39;s an absolute must. The question still remains, however: who has the best short game of all time?

If you&#39;re a fan of the short game and the skill it requires, check out the list below and vote up the golfers you think had the best shots outside the green. If you think someone is missing, feel free to add them to the list.&nbsp;

Who are the best current putters in golf? Some of <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-putters-in-golf-history/ranker-sports?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the best putters</a> at the moment on the PGA tour are names that will no doubt be quite familiar to golf fans, and a few are considered among the <a href="/list/best-putters-in-golf-history/ranker-sports" target="_blank">best putters in golf history</a>, current or otherwise. Great putting skills have raised these golfers&#39; rankings on the overall PGA leaderboards, making them major forces to be reckoned with when it counts. Vote for the current putters you think are the best, vote down any that are under-performing and rerank this list in any order you&#39;d like.

Despite yet another second place finish in the 2013 U.S. Open, pro golfer Phil Mickelson proved again why he&#39;s among the best golfers ever, with outstanding putting (as of June 2013, Mickelson had a 1.703 putting average). And yes, even though he pulled out of the June 2013 AT&amp;T National because of a sore elbow, up until then he was putting great - with a 1.718 putting average. Both Mickelson and Woods are among the most famous professional golfers&nbsp;in the history of the sport, with good reason. These guys can read the greens like no one else, and each year, they wind up at or near the top of the putters&#39; list (and the overall PGA leaderboards for that matter). Call them great putters; call them the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-clutch-golfers/ranker-sports" target="_blank">most clutch golfers in history</a>. These two are all-time greats.

Everyone has ups and downs in sports, and some of the younger, lesser-known PGA tour golfers here who are the best current putters won&#39;t necessarily make the cut every single time. But the fundamental skill of being an excellent putter will no doubt get them one step closer to the biggest prizes, instead of relegating them to club houses where they&#39;ll tell bad <a href="/list/golf-jokes/jack-napier" target="_blank">golf jokes</a> with their peers.

Since the game of golf became popular in the early 1900s, most presidents have played - with levels ranging from apathetic to enthusiastic. In fact, only a couple of presidents haven&#39;t played, and they found their own ways of spending their leisure time. Golf and the presidency have been linked ever since William Howard Taft became a visible proponent of the game, talking up its health attributes. It became more and more important for presidents to project an image of physical fitness, while also appear athletic and graceful. Golf was a way to do this.

At the same time as presidents started enjoying golf, they started to be criticized for enjoying it. Despite having entire websites devoted just to counting how many rounds he&#39;s played, Barack Obama is far from the first president to draw the wrath of the media for his golf habit. Taft himself was criticized so much that he vowed to curtail his playing. Dwight Eisenhower, maybe the most enthusiastic golfer in the White House, was given no quarter, and his opponents delighted in calling him the &quot;Duffer in Chief.&quot;

There have been plenty of presidential golfers and presidents who golfed are no rarity in American politics. Whoever the next president is, it&#39;s a sure bet that their leisure activities, be they golf or something else, will be pounced on by their opponents.
