OK, here's why I think it should be A.

B&C use the to be for regard, which is an improper idiom.
D uses being, which is generally wrong on the GMAT.
E is confusing and it sounds as if both golf players are modifying the precedent.

Again, just take all the junk out of the sentence to see that A is clearly the best answer.
Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods are widely regarded as two of the best golfers in the history of the sport.
The more you look, the more you see.
