I can see the argument that's made for Bradley as Tour Player given his two wins with one being a Major. It seems Majors are weighted differently depending on the discussion. If they both stopped playing today and we looked back on their careers in 20 years I'd guess Bradley would be considered the better golfer given his Major win, but today he's 2nd best.
Far fewer guys have been World #1 than won a major, so I would argue that Luke has had the better career. These guys are professionals so money is a factor too- Luke has won more this year that Keegan has in his entire career- and that is just on the PGA Tour.
I agree that Bradley's 2 US wins were better than Donald's but Luke's were not weak with a WGC event and the last event to win the $ title. With 2 European wins this year, he leads the race to Dubai and could officially win both money titles with a lead of over €1 M currently
Yes, there will be a big hole on Donald's resume if he never wins a major, but I would still consider him having a superior career than Rich Beem, Shaun Mitcheel, Ben Curtis, Michael Cambell, Steve Jones, Paul Lawrie and a number of other major winners.
