You could argue the competition Scotty faces is better than tiger’s from top to bottom.


For the record as of now, I think prime tiger beats Scotty as of now.

Tiger won the British by 8 shots in his prime.

He also shot +1 and lost in his prime at Royal St George.

Tiger is the GOAT but acting like he shot 20 under every major actually does more harm to his legacy than the truth.

Nobody was ever better or will ever be better than 2000-2001 Tiger. Pretty simple

Tiger didn’t have as much competition as Scottie. Not even close really.

on average yes, but he still lost majors.

In 2001 he shot -1 at the (british) open and finished 25th. are you saying Scottie wouldn't have beat him that year? Because David Duval did

The question was who would you take. If you’re betting on averages, you would never bet against prime Tiger. It’s no complicated. Scottie loses more frequently than prime Tiger did. Scottie doesn’t score as well as prime Tiger did either.

And imagine if Tiger had drivers with the tech of today’s golfers (or even as good as his competition when he played). Tiger’s really only “issue” was keeping his drives in the fairway. Give the best iron player ever clean lies more often, it wouldn’t have even been fair

He’s pretty clearly saying that for the span of a year, no one was better than 2000-2001 Tiger, not that Tiger couldn’t be beaten.

I don’t think that argument has to even be made. Professional golf is far more athletic in todays game and the players spend considerably more time and money on Strength&conditioning and recovery now.

Now that’s not to say a lot of that is not a direct correlation to the effect Tiger had on the game and kids in the 2000s.

Just the fact they are running these comparisons is an accomplishment in and of itself.
Who was the last pro golfer to draw this many comparisons to Tiger? Was it Spieth?

he couldve easily said

"2000-2001 Tiger is the best golfer of all time."

he went out of his way to say noone was ever better than that Tiger.

which is just incorrect lol. David Duval was better than him that week.

You keep referencing the 2001 Open, which isn’t even in the same year as 2000 so how could you think that is specifically what I was talking about?

You’re not even attempting to troll, you’re just an idiot
