That logic doesn't affect how many wins Tiger would have had though.

If you look at their entire career, Tiger could retire today and still be the goat by a large margin.

So by that logic Margaret Court is better than Steffi Graf, Martina Navritalova, Chris Evert, & Serena Williams?

Got it.

I'm not sure anymore that your performance in 4 specific annual events is the best measure of goatness over a career. why does it not count how dominate he was during his peak stretch, or how well he performed in the twilight of his career if you want to consider that being now. Just what he did last year is crazy enough alone, yet because he didn't win one of four specific events, he had a shite year.

In their primes I still say Tiger was more dominate.


Dominance? yes. Overall not to sure.

That makes GOAT even more of a badass.

He didn't even take roids. Just ate a bunch of doughnuts.

Whoa. Based on what? Look I wasn't around to watch Jack play, but If all you want to do is look at #'s Tiger was dominant big time from 1999-2002. Is he still the best right now? yes. He doesn't intimidate like he used to but at 100% he is the best out there.

Stenson has more power and eviscerating skill than Eldrick these days.

It is what it is. If you don't think he used to intimidate other golfers, you are crazy. If you think he still does, you are even more crazy. the game has evolved around him and there are more players closer to him now compared to the early 2000's.

The hardest tournament to win in the world is the US am. No one is exempt so you have to do well at local qualifying then get top 64 when tons of good players don't even advance to match play. Then you have a 64 man field of match field. Yea Tiger won 3 of those in a row. One of Tigers first college tournaments he shot 18 under in one day of 36 holes. He is the only person to win the US junior at every age group including one of only 2 to win the eldest twice. Only person to have all 4 majors at once. No one has dominated major tournament like him. He's also on the same pace jack is on in majors. Look at his record in world golf championships where there are fields as good as majors. Look how much better the players are that tiger has beaten. Now someone with half a brain(not net) tell me how Jack is better throughout his career.

For as much as you talk about golf you would think you'd actually know something about it/ have the ability to break 90.

Look at the depth of the fields today. Plus you're missing a ton of multi major winners since tiger has been playing.

Nitro
Deadlifts
Ciggs
Cottage cheese
Eviscertion
Stenson

These are the things that concern me. Not your shitty career taking tee times and hassling amateurs on a message board.

Have a nice weekend. Don't forget to stir the chili.
