People who support Jack tend to say he had more elite competition he had to contend with. People who support Tiger argue the competition is way deeper. I have no idea which way technology arguments cut.
I'd say this is spot on. The elite players of Jack's Day like Trevino, Watson, Ray Floyd, Gary Player, Palmer were better than the elite of Tiger's prime IMHO, they didn't fold nearly as conveniently...heck Trevino and Watson excelled and played their best golf to take at least 5 majors from Jack that I can recall. At Turnberry in '77 for example Jack bested the No. 3 guy Hubert Green by 8 strokes but fell one short of Watson in that epic dual.
But the depth of competition was better for Tiger no question.
My theory is Tiger in his prime probably gets the better of Jack more times but I think Jack would get his share.

That wasn’t the case in Jacks career. In 62 when Jack won the US Open the first time 48 of the top 50 finishers were from the US.
Then in 66 when he won the British for the first time 42 of the top 50 finishers were from Europe.
