He has won five majors. In the era of Tiger Woods and with 11 runner-up finishes in majors, that tends to be both overlooked and underrated. And in the context of his career, those 11 near misses, along with 23 top-three finishes and 38 top-10 finishes at majors --

Ajehswag, I've not heard Mickelsons name or even Tiger Woods name this year.

Your topic mentions 2017. Golf isn't in the same category as boxing neither is Mickelson as charismatic as Joshua. See where I'm coming from?

All I would say is that many of the players on their list don't have any buzz. It's the buzz that makes you know an athlete even if you don't watch the sport.

An athlete like Dennis Rodman for instance had a lot of buzz because of his antics even though he was eclipsed by Jordan and Pippen
