i would say one more point is that nowadays you have much more competition from other countries in the majors. all these titles the first guy won were at a time he almost only had to play against other americans which means the average competitior wasn't as good as nowadays. sure nowadays there are still most us-americans but at least there are more from other countries and i would say we have much more golf-players nowadays, not only worldwide, in usa as well (not sure about that) which increases the average competions strongness and if it's only a little bit.
