Hogan is a personal favorite because he skews all of the stats. He damn near died saving his wife and the war years disrupted his major opportunities (as Byron Nelson went on his roll with a military disability issue). 

And everyone forgets Walter Hagan, who was the best-ever, one-on-one player. Maybe he couldn’t beat the field, but he could beat YOU. His match-play record makes Tiger Woods look like a hacker.

So I guess the slogans would be: 

1.Beat whoever shows up. P. Harrington is the greatest beneficiary of Tiger’s drought. He won three majors and is generally ignored now.
2.Don’t play the “IFâ€ game. No-shows are losers, and you are there and therefore you are already a winner.
3.Win the game you’re in, as it’s the only one you can play. Don’t worry about the next round. Somebody will be there waiting for you.
4.If you’re losing big, slow everything down, within the rules of course, as timing is sometimes the only thing you can change.
5.Don’t worry about losing, as in every sport, there are more losers than winners. Nobody dies. Resolve to play another day and focus on the winner, not the umpteen (now there’s a word) people between you and the person holding the trophy. 

Winners knock off winners. 

If that intimidates you, then change sports.
