I seriously doubt it.

It will one of the hardest records to break in all of sports.

Nope. Golf is far more competitive now. Tiger changed them game forever.

The 18 isn’t really the amazing number though

It’s 37 or 56

That number will never be approached.

To put in context Tiger is at 31 top 5’s

Too much money now to incentivize having to work that hard for that long.

No.

And I believe that Jack finished 2nd in 19 Majors.

Pretty amazing.

Jack is firmly seated as GOAT and forevermore now that Woods is done.

Players are less driven because of money. They win a few, get content, and by content I mean married, and relax with their millions.

Such a stupid argument. Tom Brady is loaded and married to a super model who's more loaded than him. He's almost 50 and still trying to win Super Bowls.

Very doubtful. Nicklaus made $785K for his 18 major wins.

The Masters 2022 winner made $2.7 million.

The PGA guys today win a few tournaments and are basically set for life financially.

The purses back in the 60s, 70s, and even the 80s were not too big.

They had to hustle, work hard and practice, practice, practice just to make a decent living.

He is wired differently than most human beings who have ever walked on this planet. He is the ultimate outlier of outliers.

For every Tom Brady, the greatest ever, I can name a 1000 that never pushed once getting paid. Brady, Tiger, Jordan are once in a lifetimes. You are truly clueless. I am not wasting my time with you and your ignorance.

Tom Brady is also one of a fricking kind, probably the last of his kind
