We'll just have to agree to disagree.

Out of curiosity, are you old enough to have seen Jack play in his prime?

But that's not as fun as yelling at each other.

You say all they cared about was majors then end it with totality of career.
Totality?


True. Poorly worded point. Totality with regard to majors.

Jack played 600 events? Are those including Senior Tour? That's crazy. But speaks to money then vs. now. Jack had to earn a living. I'm sure he advertised but Palmer probably took the lion share of ads and sponsor money.

And for Tigers mental collapse? He came back and won player of the year.



He did. But he folded in majors. His putter let him down. It's like starting over for him mentally. With regard to majors. He had a great year by any players standards but zero majors means Tiger probably gave zero shits.

Where are Nick Faldo, Ernie Els, Rory McIlroy, Vijay Singh or Payne Stewart? All won 3 or more majors.

Woods in his prime is the greatest golfer to ever walk this planet and it's really not even close.


Absolutely.

And for the 2 people who have said "Jack only had the better over all career." Ok... I understand this but the question is who was the better golfer. So imagine them both in their "prime" and who was better?

So far...

16 votes for Woods.

7 votes for Nicklaus.

Gotta think about our sample, though. Most of us are young bucks. Not all of us are fortunate enough to have seen Booby Jones play, like our main man COTiger.

ETA: Is it Booby or Bobby? I can never remember.

On a somewhat more serious note, I saw Tiger play in a junior tournament at Eisenhower Golf Course @ the Air Force Academy in the early 1990s.

3 things were evident:

#1 Tiger had a hell of a golf game.

#2 Tiger had a X rated mouth.

#3 Earl was a first class arse hole.
