Nelson winning 18 times in 1945 or Hogan winning 13 times in 1946?
Similarly, let's say Jason Gore won 18 Nationwide events one year and
10 PGA Tour events the next. Which was the better year?
Here are the tournaments Nelson won in '45 and Hogan won in '46.
See how many you recognize.

Luke Donald and Sergio Garcia are holding on line 2.
Darren Clarke and Lee Westwood are holding on line 3.
As for Nelson and McSpaden, I think it would be like putting the #2 and
the #4 player together, since #1 and #3 were out of town.

I'm not picking on Byron, since Hogan seems to have a couple himself.
McSpaden? That isn't fair. That would be like putting the #1 and #3
player together today! They would be unstoppable. :-)

Four-ball? I don't think any team events in an individual sport should
count towards records.

The 1945 Miami Four-Ball was the first event in Byron's 11-event
winning streak. His partner was Jug McSpaden, who set a record for
most runner-up finishes that year. And I agree, it should not count,
but the PGA apparently misplaced my telegram.

Hell, I haven't missed a fairway in over 6 months. Haven't been on
one, of course, but I haven't missed it.

Oh, you've missed it, alright. You know you have.

Probably Hogan's '46, but you still can't convince me that Nelson
could have played any better than he did in '45. Anybody who can
go weeks without missing a fairway has got it goin' on.
