Padraig won 3 of the last 10 majors. How is he not one of the best golfers?
In fact, he won more majors over the last two and a half years then Tiger.
Nice one.


yeah, that's great. But, go look at what he's done this year. Go look at a few of the rankings.

As of August 2,

FedEx Cup Points: 142nd
Official World Golf Rankings: 17th
PGA Championship Points: 47th

In 15 events this year, he's made 9 cuts. 4 Top 25 finishes. His best finish before today was 11.

He's not a top 5 golfer this year. Please move over to the SEC Rant and discuss past glories with Bama fans.

Yes he is. He didn't play golf for 9 months and has won 5 times this year. He's been the most consistent golfer this year. No, he hasn't won a major. But, he's beaten every major championship winner more than once this year in different venues. He has more top ten finishes than anyone.

There's more to golf than majors. Yes, Padraig had a great run last year. But, this year, he isn't top 5. Tiger is, despite not winning a major.

I still can't believe that you are so stupid as to say he is 0-3 for majors. Like winning every week is easy. Tiger has won 28.6% of the tournaments he's played in his entire professional career. Think about that.

Didn't we go over this..a golfer is not an athlete.
Federer could have played professional soccer. He's an athlete.

Federer has won 36% of the majors he's played in. That's not even counting the tournaments that are not majors.
Oh and in golf, only major tournaments matter.

get it through your head........when another player dominates you at a major you cannot be considered the most dominant athlete in the world.

tennis sucks. when did this thread become about that?

I thought you were talking about how Tiger sucks because he's accomplished so far what no other golfer that has ever lived has accomplished, but still not one major this year.

Name a golfer that won a major every year they were a pro?

Tiger hasn't.
This year will be his 3rd year without winning a major.

Congratulations. You didn't answer my question. Name ONE golfer that won a major every year that he was a pro?


HINT:























the answer is no one.

Therefore, Tiger being 0-3 means nothing.

What's the number of tennis players that have won majors during the last 7 years?

there is no way you can tell me that a player that has a losing record to his biggest rival is the most dominant athlete in the world.
