By what metric? Because you’re certainly not reaching this conclusion based on wins, major wins, money, consistency or longevity.
Look at his career before and after the ProV1. He's still a hall of famer without it, but he'd have a career arch more in line with Zach Johnson than Tom Watson. He'd have 20 or 25 wins and maybe 2 or 3 majors, imo.

Vijay or Els would be the only other 2 even in the conversation
Duval without the wrist injury and my hot take is without the ProV Justin Leonard would have like 8 majors.
Again, I like Mickelson, but the advancement of the golf ball did wonders for him.

What? So you’re basing your evaluation of Phil’s skill level relative to other players in the Tiger era based on a hypothetical of a piece of tech not being invented?
Tiger was an early adopter of the urethane ball too... he was one of the only players to have it in the bag in 2000/2001. So you could say if it hadn’t come around, then he doesn’t win the Tiger Slam, doesn’t set all those records. But there again, it’s a hypothetical. What if Hogan doesn’t miss 2 years of his prime for WW2 and then doesn’t get in the wreck limiting his appearances? He prob wins 100/20. We don’t know. All we have are the records. Phil’s is top 10-12 all time, and certainly better than Els, Duval, Singh, Leonard, Harrington, O’Meara, etc..
