re: Who is the greatest golfer ever: Tiger or Jack?

Yes and do you know how the equipment has led to decrease in scoring? Better conditions of courses?

Again I’m saying as totality of career Jack is better but at peak Tiger was better

I guess you can’t understand my points.

Jack easily.

What year is that from what was the course and weather? You’re not doing well

I can’t help you if you’re trapped in the moment and refuse to understand all things.

You give Nicklaus or Player or Trevino same equipment Tiger had in his prime what do they do? Give Tiger their equipment in their primes what do they do? Also course conditions.

There’s no way to equivally state whose better. Just opinions. But you can’t just be so close minded and say X is better when not all things are the same.

So wait, you really believe that it was easier for tiger to get a top 5 in the British than jack?

What did you just type? So mishits are more forgiving now. That means two things. Players in the past had to be more precise with their ball striking and Tiger also benefits from today’s more forgiving equipment. Jeesh.

everyone tiger plays against uses the same equipment he does and everyone jack played against used the same equipment he did. the equipment argument is stupid.

Do people know that Tiger is 3rd in European victories?(40)

Do people know what that means?

Think of the best European golfers of the past 30 years.

Tiger shits on them. Oh and he also has 14 majors 18 WGCs(18, second is 5) and 79 wins.


He's the best golfer who has ever lived.

Jack is basically the UCONN of men's golf.

Tiger from 2000-2002 would smoke anybody that has ever picked up a golf club.

Same can be said about Tiger from 2005-2009

If injury and self-inflicted personal matters didn’t derail his career, Tiger would’ve crushed all of Jack’s records (minus the 2nd place finishes) years ago.

At one point, Tiger was winning 30% of his starts while only competing in the toughest events

Went YEARS without missing a cut

I believe he’s got the 3rd most wins on the Euro tour, a tour he never played full-time

Bottom line is, you can’t judge “best” by major wins. That would mean Robert Horry was a better player than Kobe. You have to use your eyes...and even Jack knows that peak Tiger is the best there has ever been.
