#46: K.J. Choi–This guy gets a few bonus points for being a bit of a history maker–Choi’s 2002 victory in New Orleans made him the first Korean to ever notch a PGA Tour win. With several worldwide victories, including seven on the PGA Tour, Choi has become one of the most successful Asian golfers to ever play the game. The clear highlight of his lengthy career was his 2011 victory at the Players Championship, which helped to land him on his third Presidents Cup team in the fall of that year. Choi also finished in the top 10 of six majors, including the 2004 Masters, where he ended up in solo third. Nowadays, he still pegs it on the PGA Tour and even hosts his own Korean Tour event, the KJ Choi Invitational.
