Not that the other tournaments don't matter but even 20 non-major PGA tour wins is less impressive than 1 major. Just how it is.

Rory, but what is your point.
Rory won some big tournaments as well. The Players and the Fed Ex Championship are on the tier just right below the majors. And many of the actual players on Tour want to win the Players more than one or two of the majors.
It's not like Rory's only wins are the Zurich and John Deere.

No, you are incorrect. Just see Lowry post British Open for one.
And, the amount of exemptions that come with a Major is huge for those guys, plus they will forever be known as a major champion. Oh, the money that comes with it doesn't hurt either especially endorsement deals.

Dude said he only plays golf bc he’s better at it than baseball. “Real” practice only before majors. He’s like the love child of Smokin Jay Cutler and an athlete that actually wins.

What rankings do you go by?
I see Koepka is 1

That’s what I was saying. Koepka has done enough outside of the Majors to keep the #1 ranking in the world.

Rory has 17 pga tour victories, a Players, multiple WGC, Brooks has 7 PGA tour wins.
Brooks has 7 PGA tour wins, 6 wins on the Euro Tour, 2 in Japan, and 4 majors. He's #1 in the world by a pretty comfortable margin. He's also only been on tour since 2014, unlike Rory who has been on tour since 2007. Do you think Koepka wins greater or fewer than 10 more PGA tour events over the next 7 years, when he will match Rory's years on tour currently? It's certainly a valid point that Rory hasn't won a major since 2014. And to look a little deeper, Koepka had 4 top 5 finishes in majors last year alone. Rory has 4 top 5 finishes in majors since his last major win 5 years ago. I think it's pretty undeniable that a golfer's legacy is based on his success in majors and not based on how many european and random pga tour wins he has.

BK playing with a chip on his shoulder is when he’s been at his best. Look for him to win 3 majors and a Ryder Cup in 2020

There are other events which go strictly on rankings that have tougher fields
the only events that have better or similar fields are the WGC events and the Players. But the courses at those WGC events generally don't compare to majors. For instance, the FedEx St Jude had, by world golf rankings, the most difficult field of the year last year (believe 57 of the top 60 played). However, no one could say Southwind CC is anywhere near as difficult a course as a US Open Venue, Augusta, etc. PGA Championship venues are the only major venues that can sometimes compare to a regular tour stop.

3 majors without question. I guarantee you Colin Montgomery would trade every one of his 59 career wins worldwide for one major win.

He’s a low-tier legend in the game.
He wouldn’t be with 1 major and 1 worldwide win.

If I were you I would very much doubt what you think about golfers and the desire to win a major especially Monty and winning the Open. He would be legend because he is not a so-called low-tier legend, No. Such. Thing.
Either a legend or not and that is reserved for major winners only and outside of The Open euro(see Lowry for starters) winners you need to be a multi major winner to be legend.
