I’m picking Tiger
Fun to watch. Awesome show of emotion by Tiger
Incredible day for Golf! So happy for Tiger!!! Goat
What a day. What a story. Finally
Magnificent tournament for Tiger, but Jack is still the GOAT.
Tiger has a chance to take over the top spot, but he has a lot of work left to do before he earns the title.
4 more majors
upvote for username. I don't like Tiger. He tipped me $3 once
Yaledawg. Tiger winning after all these years, all the surgeries, personal dramas, etc. really shows the makeup needed to become an all time great. To have practically every human desire at his beck and call, he needs almost super human will power to set it all aside and get down to the hard work of preparing at the highest level..
You must not be very good at your job. 😂
I respect jacks greatness but if he would have had to face the talent Tiger is facing this late in his career they would probably be tied. I don’t think the most majors is the only measure of being the goat. If you put tiger against jack in their prime, tiger wins 7 out of 10. No one transcended the game like Tiger. Nobody dominated like Tiger. If not for the surgeries he would be tied with Jack if not past him.
I’m not even a Tiger fan, but he’s the goat. IMO of course. I said he was before this win, so it must be true... Way more competition these days than when the big 3 player. Fields are way bigger these days with guys that can win it.
bigdawg2223. Jack faced top 10 all time players throughout his career.
Jack won 18 majors and finished 2nd 19 times, when he didn't win it was often a close loss to a top 10 all time player.
In Jack's career he faced these guys in their primes..
5th all time Arnold Palmer.
7th all time Tom Watson
8th all time Gary Player
11th all time Billy Casper
13th all time Lee Trevino
16th all time Seve Ballesteros
23rd all time Raymond Floyd
24th all time Johnny Miller.
Tiger faced
10th all time Phil Mickelson, but Phil only started winning near the end of Tiger's prime.
The other marginal top 25 all timers Tiger contended with.
20th all time VJ Singh
22nd all time Ernie Els.
The idea Tiger faced tougher competition is laughable.
Like to see Tigers results if he had to use the clubs and balls that Jack did
But you won’t. They both beat their peers in their time. Both are great.
You’re laughable, even with modern clubs none of those guys could hit it like these guys are today. It’s two different games because of Tiger. Most of the guys you listed might have been in shape but not like the guys today, they had to do that because of Tiger. I know you’re anti Tiger and that’s fine you can’t really compare anyway because it’s two different eras it’s like saying the 72 dolphins would smoke the Patriots with Brady. It would never happen, Pats would win at minimum 9-10. If Jack played Tiger and both were in their prime equipment equal Tiger would smoke Jack in any tournament format. I know you’re old and but think back to when Tiger was truly dominant, there’s no comparison.
