Tiger Woods: Does Anybody Even Care?

[ghostgoblin22]

And that he won a major by 15 strokes stupid good.

honestly he could've went pro in 94 full time, the tour at that time was lacking true consistent talent, he was very young but he could've competed for sure

Jack's one of the greatest ever, no doubt, but competition is way stiffer during Tiger's reign than it was back in Jack's day. Ironically, Tiger is the reason for a lot of those guys getting into the competitive golf game in the first place. He's playing against some of the greats on the tour now that grew up wanting to be like Tiger.

people fail to realize tiger started his pro career in 1996.....21 years ago...

I remember the day he turned pro. Tuned in to watch it. Something to chew on Tiger has 106 professional wins... Nicklaus has 120 including the champions tour.

although I started playing golf when I was 2, and started competing in Junior tournaments when I was 8, I really never was truly motivated until I saws tigers greatness, he really did inspire me to stay at the golf course all day along implementing a fitness plan....I went from a 8 handicap to a scratch simply because he motivated me to be better, my dad played on the Nike Tour, now known as the web.com tour so he helped me a lot but didn't push me at all....I was the idiot wearing all black pants, black nike shoes, black TW hat, along with our Maroon team shirts at our high school tournaments

yeah champions tour is a retirement league lol...I wouldn't count any of those wins to a professionals resume' to be honest...

Lol no you're missing my point... Tiger has almost as many professional wins than The Bear and no Senior tour. That says a lot about Tigers greatness

Lol ok good. I thought you meant the other way around.

[tigerscowboy]

7, but just like everything else people try to compare it isn't a fair comparison. Jack played substantially more majors than Sam. Sam only went to the Open 5 times.

Sam's problem, not Jack's. A novice could immediately assume that Jack is a bigger competitor based on this data.

ahh true dat...good point

Majors

Jack won 18 of 164

Sam Snead won 7 of 118

Tiger won 14 of 76

To say Jack is the greatest because he won more majors is ridiculous.

No Sir. Your angle is.

[Buckley99]

Nope. He is done. His swing mechanics do nothing but put stress on his back. He will never be able to compete at that level for any extended amount of time ever again.

This ^^^

Unless he completely revamps his swing, his back will not let him return to any kind of sustained success.

[tigerscowboy]

See post #188

Okay. You're the president of the Snead club. Fair enough.

There is no majority group on this earth (that knows golf, plays golf, knows golf history, and the players) that will side with the absurd statement that Snead is the greatest golfer vs Jack.

[BrandonA]

ahh true dat...good point

And 40 of those were on the European Tour which is pretty **** impressive. They play links golf. Totally different game than American golf. How many golfers can adjust and compete like that?

NIKE dropped out of the Golf Equipment business - it was centered around Tiger now, it's a HAS BEEN like Tiger's golf game.

There's only one King - records made with inferior equipment I might add!

And playing a MacGregor ball?

I think yall are just look'n for an excuse to make out with Tiger Woods

I think you've averaged 350 yds with this statement^^^^


If ABCDJ's Skype phone interview had anything to do with golf and/or Tiger Woods then I think it's clear he took CurtinTexas' advice to drop trou and to smile while looking in a mirror.
