Ok. But I still think Tiger dominates even if the talent were the same in 2000 as today.... YES he was just THAT GREAT... His focus was as sharp as a knife and his desire to be the best was like Micheal Jordan.. BUT since 2009 his focus is long gone ...... and the TIGER FACTOR has never recovered...Players no longer FEAR him on the Final Sunday at a Major....

Too many swings. Too many swing coaches.

Tiger needs to dump this latest one who's an engineer who probably can't break 90. Then dig out tapes of the Butch Harmon swing, watch them for many hours and then spend days on the range digging it out of the dirt.

What amazes me is this "new" swing has taken him from having the best short game I've seen to one that resembles a muni player with a 18 handicap.

No way Rory gets there. His body won't hold up with all that torque in his swing.

Not the way he is playing NOW. But I would still say that back in the early 2000's that its still the same climate... I don't think you understand how GREAT Tiger was for that 5-6 year stretch......


I don't think you understand the collection of chokers and ne'er do wells he had as his main competition.

I could see Rory going for 7-8 majors.

Really? The kid has 4 at 25 years old. You project only 3-4 more in his lifetime?

Sorry but Phil, Ernie et al were not the same as Tom Watson and Arnold Palmer.

Phil 42 and 5
Rory as of 25 yrs old 18 and 4
Ernie 47 and 4

Tom Watson 39 and 8
Arnie 62 and 7
Gary 24 and 9


I think it is safe to say rory gets to 10+ and 50+

Let's say phil get to 6 or 7 and 50

Pretty close

I'm about an 18 and my short game is way better than what he did on Friday
