Westwood. He's arguably the best ball-striker on tour.

Rickie is only 28, I wouldnt throw him into the conversation for another 3-4 years. Bubba and Duff didnt get a major until their 30's and hell Phil didnt get his first major until his 13th year on tour.

I hate to say it but Kuch but holy hell I love that man

Kuchar... He's been more consistent by far!

I would say Rickie, but he hasn't been around long enough to warrant being labeled "Best Player Without a Major"

It's Westwood. Outside of the Masters in 2012, Kuchar really hasn't put himself in real contention to win a major.

Westwood has been in contention plenty of times, and is a former #1 ranked player in the world.

Rickie's way too young for that title and has only won 4 times on tour.

Snedeker is up there too. Multiple event winner. Won the FedEx Cup. In his 30's. No majors.

I don't get the impression that Kuchar is bothered by the fact he doesn't have a major. I think there's a lot more pressure on guys like rickie and Westwood.

Easily Westwood.

How many top 5s does he have in majors? Former #1, lots of wins, old, etc.

Kuchar rarely seems to be in the race to win a major but damn it seems like he always ends up finishing in the top 10-15.

I'd be curious what his avg finish in a major is (or PGA event for that matter). I feel like his avg finish would be near the top on tour.

A couple of others to consider are Hideki Matsuyama and Luke Donald. Matsuyama is the highest ranked player to not have won a major currently. Luke Donald is third among active players without a major in career earnings.
