And I can add.....when Jack won 18 Majors and finished 2nd in 19 Majors
The guys he played against had more MAJOR WINS in the group that played against him...meaning, they had Major playing experience with WINS meaning, these guys didn't fold like a CHEAP SUIT ON SUNDAY!
You can slice it anyway you want about players now versus then but, then - the best players had what it took to take a MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIP. Their experience at that level far surpassed the up and coming KIDS Tiger played against. The 10 or so group of guys, who each in their own right, held many Majors under their belts, gave Jack a run for his money...Major after Major - the same 10 or so guys with each, well capable of handling 4 days of MAJOR Play without blowing up and with MAJOR records under their belts.
That's the DIFFERENCE
Jack played years and years more than Tiger at a supreme level - this says a lot about Jack's play.
And the back stuff....you have to swing within your physique to play decades - Jack got it, Tiger doesn't get it. Jack played at 1/2 throttle and this approach allowed him to play well into his 50s at a very high level. Jack was the smarter player.Last edited by AtTheWall; 02-16-2017, 01:17 PM.

To say Jack is the greatest because he won more majors is ridiculous.
Also they didnt have the WGC's back then. WGC's arent far off from majors when you look at how stacked the fields are. Tiger owned them. Tiger will probably come up short of Jacks major wins but nobody has ever put together a 10 year run like Tiger did. Doubt we see one like it again in our lifetime.

I wont argue jack being the greatest, but between them its 1a and 1b and a coin flip between the two..don't be biased, you could argue Ben Hogan was the greatest or even Arnie...its tough to compare between the generations

Expect to see many retailers getting out of the business here soon.
You see the the people on Golf channel talking about how we need to fix that, then the next show on is Michael Breed telling you how you need to take 56 practice swings, line it up, wiggle your ***, take 37 dufner waggles, then hit the ball. Then when you get on the green it is another song and dance before you putt. It is ridiculous.
I do everything I can to avoid metroplex golf courses for this reason. Last time I played Champions Circle in Ft Worth it took 6+ hours.

I think it is a shame what he did too his family and his life, but, he has been one of the greatest golfers of all time. As stated by other TBH members he has had a tremendous impact on many peoples golf lives. I lost a lot of respect for him but still would like to see him set a few more records.
