I agree and it's good for the game. Golf needs more stars.

I agree. Golf needs it, cause if Tiger and Phil ain't around these days, ain't too many folks watching. Bubba and Rory could emerge as those types of stars but "could" is the operative word.

Ernie's 4 majors ties him with Phil. I think something like only 18 players in history have won as many.

Both are dwarfed in their time by Tiger's shadow and for the most part they were unable to be a true disruptive rival to Tiger as say Trevino, Player and Watson were to Jack. But they did rise above some of the bigger name rivals of Jack's era like Weiskoff and Miller and have carved out a nice legacy.
