I imagine most, if not all, of these guys could have held their own against the two 40-somethings being so frequently mentioned on this thread, Scott and Jeremy.
Some of them didn't play in tournaments, but neither did Jack Cooney (in the HOF), and he wasn't the favorite necessarily against most on this list.
Ran your list by Buddy today. His top 2 picks out if your list as the best players out of these are Johnny Irish and Joey Spaeth
