Distance and power off the tee get a lot of attention, but there has always been an aura surrounding the players who are great at hitting iron shots. Ben Hogan had it, and so did Lee Trevino, Tom Kite and Jack Nicklaus. Tiger Woods has it too.
The sound of the ball compressing against the metal face, the hollow thump made as the club works through the turf and then hissing of the ball as it zips through the air can be mesmerizing. The golfers listed below all demonstrate fantastic consistency from the fairway and lead the PGA Tour in greens in regulation. See who they are and what irons they play.
