I think Tiger is the greatest golfer who ever lived, but Jack had a better career...so far.
I agree. Competition is so much stiffer. But I still love Jack!

And play some golf?Tiger will be getting richer and richer now. Lol He might be able to even retire.
It's hard to imagine what Tiger would have won over the years had his body held up to the physical pressures of the game. There's no telling what physical therapy he's gone through to get back to where he is today--not including working on his game. And he really has been tough mentally to overcome the physical ailments.

If his body held up, there would be no controversy over who is/was the best golfer of all time between Jack and Tiger. It'd be Tiger on landslide. Even now, personally, I think Tiger has the definitive edge over Jack given how the world of golf grew. There are far more professional golfer vying for stardom than when Jack was in his prime.
Hmm, Bridgestone may be the biggest winner today.
You're probably close to right, but no one will ever find out who is winning the tourney. Guess that doesn't matter.And probably 5x as many people will flip on a tourney now.
Why Bridgestone and not Nike? All I saw was Nike. Tigers shirt, hat, and the big 'swoosh' on his kids shirt.
Hmm $85,000 bet pays out $1.2M! 14 to 1 odds against Tiger tough on sports booking.

That’s a good way to say it.I think Tiger is the greatest golfer who ever lived, but Jack had a better career...so far.
"Under the influence" was not meant to intimate that he was blameless. I think it was adolescent behavior, that phase of life - particularly with males - where peer relationships are impactful. He didn't have any rumspringa. Unfortunately, some who have had a very structured upbringing go through that phase in young adulthood.
He paid a high price in both his personal and professional life. He is now a mature father and golfer, it shows.
Just anecdotal, but after watching Tiger's swing for several tournaments when he first appeared as a pro, my (orthopedic surgeon) Dad repeatedly said Tiger's back would never hold up and his career would be shortened as a result if he continued with that extreme swing. I'm sure many doctors were speculating the same back then.Tiger is supposedly a workout fanatic, and could do a ~300 lb bench press. I am not sure if he kept up that type of lifting over the years, but have wondered if that might have contributed to some wear on his body or maybe helped him. After yesterday, maybe the later. Anyway, happy for Tiger and I think its good for golf to see such a dramatic comeback.
Several players, on the last nine, held or shared the lead. Only one did not hit any bad shots once in that position. All of the others, once they saw their name at the top, started hitting poor shots.I've always been a Tiger fan and was glad to see him get his 15th major yesterday. The discussion as to who is the best can go on ad infinitum. The amazing thing about his win yesterday is he beat a field of very talented young guns with a 43 year old body that has experienced numerous surgeries. The win does illustrate the old adage about the game being played in the six inch space between the ears. Tiger's talent, experience, discipline and course management is what won the day. Congrats Tiger and keep chasing Jack's 18 major record.
I liked what Tiger said after in Butler's cabin even more. 'In 1997 my Dad was there to give me a hug when I won my first Masters. This time 22 years later, I'm the Dad, sharing the win with my kids.'
This is the kind of stuff that drives me nuts when it comes to Tiger...and the way the commentators and most people view him. Tiger is a terrible person. I wonder if Tiger will ever share the infidelity stories and what he put his kids mother through? What kind of father would do that to his children? But, people will say everyone makes mistakes. Well, Tiger made the mistake with a dozen chicks...that we know of.
For the first 2 decades of his career...he never gave a crap about the fans. He never acknowledged them, rarely signed autographs, rarely gave fist bumps or high fives. Yet people adored him.
Tigers a billionaire yet he stiffs waiters/waitresses all the time on tips. This isnt a rare occurrence either.
But, I cant put all the blame on tiger. His dad was also a womanizer. Heck, Tigers old man didnt even live with his mom. So its no surprise Tiger did what he did...doesnt make it right.
The moral of the story is, people love a winner. Doesnt matter how they are in life, how they treat people, if the person wins all is forgiven. I just dont understand this mentality.
The only saving grace is his legacy will forever be tarnished with things he did in the past. Is he good for golf, of course. He brings in a ton of $$ for other golfers. Is he talented...uhh, yeah, to say the least. Other than that...hes a scumbag.
