“Just didn’t have the talent or drive”

Tiger was a prodigy as a child. His talent is at the highest level. He has loads of it.

Tiger was known for his drive. He trained liked a fiend and for long spurts practiced like one too.

Jack in my opinion had more structure and apparently avoided pills and ladies of the night. I guess in that way he did have more drive. Or focus.

Tiger couldn’t mentally handle his father passing away. That’s when all his problems with pills, women, etc started. He was lost without his taskmaster.

Tiger’s problem wasn’t a lack of drive but a lack of personal discipline. With all the temptations that come with being a superstar athlete that can be just as important.

In addition to Jack's dominance, Barbara Nicklaus was the Tour wife all the others tried to emulate.
She was on Carson one night.
Johnny: Before a tournament is there anything you do for luck?
Barbara: Ohhhh, sometimes I kiss his balls, Johnny.
Carson: I bet that makes his little putter stand up!
