He's done. I listen to and watch a lot of golf and I'm sick of hearing his name. He is a washed up has been that will never win another tourney. Can we stop glossing him already. I don't care what club he's swinging, what ball he's hitting, or what shirt he's wearing. The game is going to be just fine without him.
Does anybody even care if he comes back???
Oh snap. He’s baaaaaack!!![emoji6]

Originally posted by rocky View PostYes, he did. Every generation in every sport is bigger, stronger, and more technologically advanced. In Jack’s day, the competition was equal to the competition that Tiger faces today. Don’t use today’s competition to compare Tiger to Jack in his era. Same goes with every sport.

Another argument for Jack being the GOAT is the fact that he not only did he win 18 Majors, but he finished 2nd in 19 other Majors....Woods finish second 6 times. Jack was TOP THREE in 48 Majors....Woods in 24.
I can't argue with anyone that thinks Woods is the GOAT, he's **** hard to critique, but I can sure plead a case for Jack.

While Tiger's competitors are likely just as gifted, I don't think today's players have the same heart for a simple reason....the insane amount of money that the guy finishing second, fifth or twentieth wins. Guys back then battled each other for victories. Today, if you finish second, you still win a **** King's ransom.

Originally posted by rocky View PostSo, Jack was a phenom in his era, and Tiger is just better than anyone that ever golfed.
Just my opinion of course but I “think” (no research) that golf was an elitist sport in Jacks era and that has changed. The number of Europeans and Americans involved in the sport is way bigger than in Jacks era so I think the pool of competitors is much bigger now.

That is a great stat no doubt. Golf is much more of a global game now that it was in Jacks day. I could be wrong but I don’t think Jack has any WGC wins. Tiger has like 18 WGC wins. Which are arguably the best fields in all of golf. I think it’s only top 60 or 70 in the world that are invited?

Originally posted by rocky View PostPlease don’t get me wrong, I think Tiger is as good as there is. But in Jack’s day, all available technology was used by all the golfers, just as it is today. The pool of golfers may not have been as large, but in that day and time, it was as large as it could be. Jack beat all those guys, just like Tiger beats the guys today. Tiger simply has a few more Majors to win to reach the same level of success that Jack did.
It's that simple. Tiger may or may not be the goat in the next few years.
