Inside Mormonism

Athletes

<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/practicing-mormon-celebrities/celebrity-lists?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">List of Mormons</a> in sport, and notable or famous Mormon athletes. These Mormon sports stars come from a variety of different sports and disciplines, including football, car racing, martial arts, rugby, track and field, swimming and hockey. Though Mormonism is a religion most closely associated with the United States, a number of Mormons play for international teams, including a number of professional rugby players in Australia and New Zealand. Many Mormon athletes have been recognized for their physical prowess and athletic achievements, including Merlin Olsen, a Hall of Fame defensive tackle for the NFL's Los Angeles Rams, first Mr. Olympia Larry Scott and <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/worst-heavyweight-boxing-champions/dannyrichman?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">heavyweight boxing champion</a> Jack Dempsey. Perhaps most significantly, famed 49ers quarterback Steve Young is a Mormon and a direct descendant of LDS movement leader and former president Brigham Young. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (sometimes known simply as the LDS Church or the Mormon Church) is the largest denomination in the &quot;Latter Day Saint Movement&quot; inspired by the message of Joseph Smith. The church currently claims 14.1 million adherents around the world, with 50,000 missionaries currently serving worldwide. The church models its teachings and organizations on Joseph Smith's original Church of Christ, founded in 1830. The Mormon culture that raised and inspired these athletes is also distinctive in many ways, both because of the geographical center of Mormonism in the Intermountain West and the family-oriented worldview of the church itself. For example, Mormonism's health and legal code, known as the &quot;Word of Wisdom,&quot; prohibits the use of tobacco, alcohol, caffeine and other addictive substances.Who are famous Mormon athletes?

Billy Casper

William Earl Casper, Jr. was an American professional golfer who was one of the most prolific tournament winners on the PGA Tour from the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s.
Casper started as a caddie in his youth, and emerged from the junior golf hotbed of San Diego, where golf could be played year-round, to rank seventh all-time in career Tour wins with 51, across a 20-year period between 1956 and 1975. Fellow San Diegan great Gene Littler was a friend and rival from teenager to senior. Casper won three major championships, represented the United States on a then-record eight Ryder Cup teams, and holds the U.S. record for career Ryder Cup points won. After reaching age 50, Casper regularly played the Senior PGA Tour and was a winner there until 1989. In his later years, Casper successfully developed businesses in golf course design and management of golf facilities.
Casper served as Ryder Cup captain in 1979, was twice PGA Player of the Year, was twice leading money winner, and won five Vardon Trophy awards for the lowest seasonal scoring average on the Tour.

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.

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;
