Yea, you are right, he hasn't had those guys to compete against, he has had a hell of a lot more guys to compete against that are not using back yard grown swings to compete.....golf is global now, it used to not be nearly as much. The game, like everything else in the world has evolved.....more people play, the competition is better and the field are stronger. Either way tiger has won 94 time (and counting) against the best competition and most players playing in the world....that's pretty fucking good for a guy that lost his swing and his putting stroke!
I'm not knocking on Stricker, but you are aware Steves game sucked in Australia correct? Tiger didn't play his best ever golf in presidents cup, but he didn't hurt the duo.......he won his own tourn in California, not Florida. 11 consecutive round of solid golf haven't convinced you yet? Shit, what am I missing? Nobody besides Rory is even on the same atmosphere as tiger when it comes to playing golf, when they are playing well. I mean shit, I have eyes and realize when rory is on, he just might be better than tiger woods. But you know what, rory has been a pro for what, 4 years now and he has won 5 tourn including the weak euro tourn he has won? No other golfer alive and currently playing belongs in the same sentance as tiger woods as of now. Prove me wrong if you think other wise
Who is to say they are or are not as good as they are today? Especially ppl that also talk about how good the"young guys" of today are supposedly. Those guys back then may have been great, but they were great against a hell of a lot less competitiors than there are today! And your high if you think otherwise
If you honestly think the foreign players during the Nicklaus era are better than the foreign players today, you are the one who must be high. Just take a look at the World rankings right now. 7 of the top 10 including the top 4 are all foreign players.Yes, there was a few top notch foreigners back then, but not even close to the quantity of top foreign talent nowadays...
