re: Rory's I have 21 victories comment

It’s this simple

Rory, born 1989

4 majors
21 pga tour wins
14 euro wins
3 x pga tour player of the year
106 weeks at #1 in world

Koepka, born 1990

4 majors
8 pga tour wins
6 euro wins
1 x pga tour player of the year
47 weeks at #1 in world


There you go, two guys right at the same age, and that’s their respective careers

Rory has had a much career than Bruce.

It seems like your only argument to why Rory has had a better career than Brooks is because he's been playing in the PGA longer than him.

Take away the brainwashed "PGA victories" measurement of success and since 2014..
Brooks earnings are 37M & 4 Majors
Rory's earnings are 40M & 0 Majors

Rory's career earnings (since 2009) are 64M. What if LIV was around when Brooks turned pro in 2012 & before he joined PGA in 2014?

I guess Scottie Scheffler has had a better career than Rory too

I mean, since joining the tour he has been better than Rory

You jumped into an argument where a poster was saying brooks career has been better than Rory. That is the conversation you entered into. That isn’t me creating a strawman

Hell, since on tour, brooks has been better than tiger too. But what’s the point of that conversation when we are talking about CAREERS.

The strawman in the conversation was bringing up “since on tour”, since the entire conversation wa s about careers. If Brooke was 6 years younger than Rory it would be worth mentioning, but he isn’t

I have no bone to pick with you because our actual discussions on golf have been good, but you entered this chat about the careers of two golfers.

To be fair, he predicated it on 2015. And to be fair, you thought that was arbitrary when it wasn't. He didn't bring up entire careers until I was already posting. He's sort of avoided it by continuing to bring up 2014/2015. Rory was on fire from 2010 to 2014. 10 PGA tour wins and 4 majors... very comparable to Brooks 2017-2021 honestly. Being close to the same age is certainly a knock on Brooks. But he's had almost a decade on tour where he's been better than Rory nearly every year. The career argument isn't over when they both have another 7-10 years playing. But up till now, it's no doubt Rory because of how well he played as a kid.

You started it by saying this

but he only has 8 PGA Tour wins, so apparently Rory is much better

So I simply let you know that yes, Rory is that much better from how his career is viewed standpoint

But he's had almost a decade on tour where he's been better than Rory nearly every year.

Well that’s just as outrageous

Since the magical 2015, Rory has had better years in

2015
2016
2020
2021

Brooks better in
2017
2018
2019

quote:

Rory has had better years

based on what metric? The "brainwashed" number of PGA Tour wins? Brooks has been on record saying he doesn't care about those tournaments outside of majors.

Brooks has earned more $ than Rory in every season except the current season, but there is still a lot of $ on the table.

Hell you could argue that Charl Schwartzel is having a "better" year this year than he did in 2011 when he won The Masters and he's only finished in the top 25 of 2 PGA Tournaments this year. Depends on what metric you use to determine the "better" year.
