The 10 Best Players of the Last Decade with Andy Johnson Apr 21, 2022

Show notes

With the recent victory from Jordan Spieth (his 13th since 2013), Shane thought it would be a great time to look over the last 10 years of professional golf and rank the 10 best players of the last 10 years. Who better to discuss this with than The Fried Egg and The Shotgun Start's own Andy Johnson, who worked up his own Egg Formula to break down his top-10 list. A few of the same, a few different, and a consensus No. 1 of the last decade; a fun exercise and we appreciate Andy for his time!
