When Jack played the qualifying for the trophy was 80 rounds which Jack hardly ever played per season, he played very little really. In the Tiger era the qualifier is 60 rounds. That matters.One of the stats that I don’t think gets brought up very often is that Tiger won 9 Vardon trophies, the best scoring average for the year. Jack didn’t win it a once. He also won 2 more money list titles than jack.
I am Tiger guy and that may be because I am young but I think he is the GOAT.
To be fair, they said the exact same things about Jack.Yes. He transformed the game of golf in the modern era, his domination will never be matched.
If he never wins again hes still the GOAT

Reality is it’s an impossible question to answer.James, you certainly know more about golf than I, but I thought there was a stretch in TWs prime where he won at some absurd rate that will never be matched th anyone.
I was more referring to the way he dominated, but again, could be off base
Better overall to the bottom, I’d agree.I think it is hard to argue against him as he played when talent was better, imo.
I wonder though, how would we compare? I surely enjoyed watching golf more back then when I knew everyone, but scores are much better now, aren't they?Better overall to the bottom, I’d agree.
Is also say the best at the top were better when Jack played.
We can’t and never will be able to, but it’s definitely always a fun argument hahaI wonder though, how would we compare? I surely enjoyed watching golf more back then when I knew everyone, but scores are much better now, aren't they?
hard to disagree with this, however jack has also had the same impact and in a classier way. But im too young to remember Jack so Tiger for me.Even if he never sets foot on a course again, I think he still had to be considered the greatest of all time. It’s not even so much about the records and such. It’s more about how he influenced the game and a whole new generation of players.
But if that’s the main argument then you have to put Arnie in, because it can be argued he changed the game for ALL future generations of professionals as to what golf could be, yes, more so than Jack. Jack benefitted from Arnie too.hard to disagree with this, however jack has also had the same impact and in a classier way. But im too young to remember Jack so Tiger for me.
Very true and I was thinking that as I wrote my reply as Arnies influence is arguably just as strong now after his passing.

This is why I looooooove this convo though, we HAVE to go in circles and we are all right and wrong.Very true and I was thinking that as I wrote my reply as Arnies influence is arguably just as strong now after his passing. However, i still think tiger
Hahaha that’s some Bill & Ted stuff right there! Very true.This is why I looooooove this convo though, we HAVE to go in circles and we are all right and wrong.
Without Arnie, the tour might not even make it to see a Tiger.

Jack Nicklaus is G.O.A.T.
If Tiger wants that label he needs to win 4 more Majors.
