Not to mention Tiger has more total wins, a better winning percentage(even if you take out jacks tournaments late in his career), more consecutive cuts made, a lower adjusted scoring average, and more times money winner
True, but Tiger played with superior equipment and against inferior competition.

As wild as Tiger has always been with his driver, I wonder how he would have fared in the era of persimmon drivers and Balata balls?

This has already been discussed ITT and you're wrong

This is what Tiger used when he came on tour

Jack is the greatest ever.

Tiger is close behind but will never pass him.

Tiger did more for the game than Jack did, golf today is because of Tiger. I still think that Jack, considering his performances on the biggest stages, makes him better.

I don't think we will ever see a golfer on either of their level again though.

And zero of that helped in the accomplishments I listed, unless you are inferring his competition didn't use the same equipment


ETA: just noted you said inferior competition as well. Lol. That is absurd

Tiger set 18 as his goal from a young child. He understands that major wins are what decides legacies.

And Jack's winning % isn't even close to Tiger's. Also worth mentioning how many WGC events Tiger has won. Those fields are every bit as elite as the majors

But yeah Danny Willett is better than Rickie Fowler because he's won more majors

Oh please.... oh that’s right.... golf did not exists before 1997......

Look say what you want youngster, but Jack had a better career and Tiger had a better 6-7 year peak.... I told you on thanksgiving night 2009 that Tiger would not win another major and he looked lost at Augusta this year even after Vegas made him the clear cut favorite.

It's hilarious when you bring this up thinking it wasn't an ignorant statement at the time. I'm sure you expected Tiger to be injured more than he's not since then as well, which is the main reason he hasn't won majors

Ok I forgot that winning the Houston Open is something huge....

Now please tell me that Tiger can even touch 18 MAJORS and finishing 2nd 19 times... Can Tiger say this?? NO... Now sure Tiger has won more overall tourneys... Who cares..... I will admit AGAIN that from 1999-2005 that Tiger had the greatest run I have ever seen.... Great... But I still bring up what happened on thanksgiving in 2009... That night changed everything..... His mental edge was gone after that night.... I know he has had injuries.... Sorry so has Tom Brady......

Jack wasn't even close to Tiger when both were at their peak.

That night changed everything
Tiger getting caught cheating did not ruin his golf career. Just stop. Tiger missing years of his prime with a torn ACL, torn Achilles, back surgery, etc is what derailed his career. Tiger has not been consistently healthy since 2008. When you're always rehabbing something it's not exactly easy to have a consistent golf game to win majors. However, the last year he played without injuries in 2013 he won PGA POY and 5 tournaments and was #1 in the world again.
