Care to correct your post?
And if the primary argument of the Woods defenders is margin of victory, didn't "Oh my f**king God",the-greatest-golfer-of-all-time-who-will-never-catch-Jack, get waxed by 10 strokes?

For starters, beating Faldo in 97 at the Masters is better than anyone Spieth beat this year except Rory

And how did you find out I was insane, anyway?

Which, again I think, is demonstrates the strength of the 2015 field.

Take your meds.

He was coming off a 3 month layoff
I don't think it demonstrates anything to the strength of the field

Almost the same exact field as this year played the Masters last year, and here was the final leaderboard:
1 Bubba -8
t2 Spieth -5
Blixt -5
t5 Kuch -2
Fowler -2
So that proves how much easier the Masters played this year. It just happens, some years it plays easier. So using the argument this years field is better because of the scores is asinine when just last year they scored what they did. If Spieth shot -18 last year, then it would be similar to Woods 97. But like I said, they are both equally impressive for different reasons

While Speiths performance was splendid, he won by four and course and weather conditions were prime for many guys to have outstanding rounds. Most of the leaderboard would have won with their scores more often than not.
Woods pulled away so far and was truly playing at a level far above anyone else that week for 63 holes. Amazing that he did so with a Thursday front nine 40. I was a big fan of that Tiger.

Jack faced many competitors throughout all phases of his PGA career who regularly won majors and only Mickelson falls into that category for Woods.

I mean looking at the top 10 this year almost all of the guys are incredible athletes (maybe not Charley Hoffman). There's just so much more value placed on being in shape now and it really does help the quality of play.
Really? Casey and Rory seem to be the only ones in the top 10 that even sniff a weight. I was amazed at the lack of muscle mass on every single player this weekend. You would think that getting stronger would be a priority in a game like golf.
