The golfers back in the day can't hit it as far, we know that, mostly because of technology. With that being said you give those golfers the newer technology and you don't know how it would go. Tom Watson ,a HOF golfer in Jacks era, 18 time major winner, is still competing on a high level at majors when he should be to old to compete on the Senior tour.
To me its just like saying that if you won all of the majors except for the British you can't be considered the greatest of all time. If Tiger just wins when he is the frontrunner after 54 holes, that tells me he isn't a great come from behind player in majors. As far as Tiger being ahead of or at the same pace of Jack, that really means nothing. Every golfer that wins a major or MLB player that hits a HR is on a pace for something. That doesn't guarentee anyone anything ! Tiger is #2 for now for all time, I would bet he stays there.
All this Tiger hype reminds me of Mike Tyson's comeback from prison. He'd look like crap, but every time before a big fight, the fanboys would be like 'he's been very committed to training', 'best shape of his life this time', 'he has a new (trainer, manager, handler, etc.)', blah, blah, blah. It took him finally getting his brains beaten in by Lewis to stop that nonsense. Ironically Woods is roughly the same age as Tyson was then.
Why the Brittish? Half the battle of winning at the british is being lucky enough to be on the right side of the weather, in alot of cases.
As far as tiger not coming from behind....i guess i could argue that Tiger is better than jack because he has been in the lead in so many of them that he won. In jacks words, he had more majors handed to him than he won........look we can argue this all day and its not going anywhere, tiger is ahead of jacks pace, and you think tiger isnt as good because instead of coming from behind and winning, he just beats everybody from the get go. I'm cool with you having him being second best till and if he breaks jacks record, but not for the reason of him winning the tournaments because he is in the lead and not playing from behind....that just doesnt make sense to me.
as feherty says, when tiger plays well, he wins......every single time.
I enjoyed watching golf way more when Arnie, Trevino, Jack and those guys were playing. They were having fun with the fans. Tiger isn't my cup of tea with his antics on the course. That's just me and I'm not holding anything against his fans. He certainly is one of the best to ever play the game. Will He return to his previous greatness ? I really don't know.
That's right, the door is wide open, Tiger is just going to get up out of bed, after a two month layoff, and poof, shoot 67's and 68's,win by 8 strokes.
Hurry, get to the bank, empty the account, Tiger to win for the max.
Didn't you basically say the same thing before Bay Hill, "eats up course, wins going away, yadda, yadda, yadda"
How did he do at Bay Hill? Those were two eye popping final rounds he put up there.
Expect the same results this week, mid 20's finish, 7 off the winner.
No, I didn't say it at bay hill, and I'm assuming you can read so I didn't say that he would win this week either, I did say I think top 20 this week, but that's just a guess which I also stated when I said that.
I did say he could show up and compete at the masters, which he did and has now done 2 years in a row, so yes, I guess he can roll out of bed and poof shoot 67s. he can also win a us open with a broke knee....and you were running your mouth then too, till Saturday when you started back peddling.
Stick with the Uconn stuff and baseball billhill
