Jones's feat could not be replicated today.  Back then, professional golfers were outcasts, and amateurs ruled the roost.  Those days are long gone.  Today, professional golf is a career, there are Tours the world over, and the depth of competition is several-fold greater than nearly a century ago.  Amateurs today are sorely pressed just to make the cuts at the US Open and Open Championship, let alone contend, let alone close the deal.

I have immense respect for Hogan and his accomplishments, but I don't think he could have won the PGA.  Multiple days of back-to-back matches, and match-play at that.  After his accident, he never played the PGA again until it switched to medal-play.  (He also never played the Open again, so the schedule conflict isn't an excuse.)
