Re: Will anybody else be glad when Tiger retires ?...
Sure they do, at least real golf historians do. Here is a break down of the rank of the top 50 all time players Jack and Tiger faced when those players were in their primes.

Re: Will anybody else be glad when Tiger retires ?...
Since 1996 ( before Tiger) golf purses for the 4 majors have increased about 500%. During the same time period grand purses for grand slam tennis tournaments have increased about 500%. I'm sure other players would garner at least as much indorsement money if Tiger was to retire, quite possibly more. -

It's tough to make that jump to all time great. Spieth has not been the same golfer since he blew the lead at the Masters a few years ago despite winning the Open. One advantage for Jordan is his age. He is young and can still play elite golf. Not sure if the killer instinct is still there after giving the Masters away to… -

Really though Jack made the choice in the late 1960s to focus on majors, he used the rest… -

Facts are facts. Viewership increases when Tiger plays. It was up 38% on Sunday during the British Open compared to last year. The difference? Tiger wasn’t playing Sunday of last year. That means more advertising dollars. Furthermore, he has played in 10 tournaments this year and has 4 top 10 finishes. There aren’t 20… -
Re: Will anybody else be glad when Tiger retires ?...
Just an add on to what I said earlier about Tiger bringing money to the PGA, the year he turned pro (not a full year), there were 9 golfers who exceeded $1 million in earnings. The following year, that number doubled to 18. The next year it went to 26. Then 36. There were 45 the next year (2000). Then 55, 61, 72, 77 - you…
