If Woods can finish 6th or better in the 2034 Masters plus add another 3 Majors in the interim I'm willing to listen. As Jack did in the 1998 Masters.

JJ makes a good point about the competition within each players era needing to be considered, during Jacks period, Jack had Gary Player (9 total Majors) Tom Watson (8) and Arnold Palmer (7) all winning and competing in majors for at least part of the 24 years seperating his first and last major title. The best doing the same for Tigers were Phil Mickelson (6) Brooks Koepka (5) and Ernie Els/Rory McIllroy (4). Worth noting that Jack also had Lee Trevino (6) and Seve Ballesteros (5) and Raymond Floyd (4) matching those numbers in his era.

Jacks major winning era lasted 24 years, with a gap of 6 years from his second last to his last, Woods era lasted 22 years, with a gap of 11 years between second last and last.

Not sure I’d use Brooks as a yardstick for Tigers career. They certainly over lap but I’d say that Tiger was pretty much finished by the time Brooks broke out in 2015 to win his first PGA event and 2018 for his first major.

Seeing Manchester United relegated would mean more than words can describe to me.

I agree with JJ

I said many moons ago that the Tiger era was the weakest.

Ernie Els has been a good player & Phil a great but most of who Tiger beat we’re guys on the decline who were also behind the 8 ball in the technology change that took place

Always a good discussion though with no correct answer apart from our own🤪

Woods was a lot more dominant than Nicklaus on the PGA tour. Jack won 12.5% of the time, Tiger 23% of the time.

Must have been over 30% before he flamed out with marital and health issues. I don't have that stat.

They were still using metal-headed woods.

I'd like to see them hit with the same clubs Bobby Jones used.

Desert War, Rain Lover, Latin Knight, Hay List, Mustard...my turf heroes...

Interesting you say that. I watched a video during the week that had the players from last weeks event in Dubai using drivers that were 20 years old.

They were lucky to hit it 250 yards many as low as 215 yds. Many PGA players hit over 300yds currently

Of interest was also how it made them play this particular hole. Basically they couldn’t cut the corner to clear the rough and reach the fairway. They had to lay way back

These were the Woods era clubs. Bear in mind that was new technology that had moved on significantly from at Norman was using at the back end of his career

With respect to all my fellow TBV members..........how can this discussion even be taking place without the name of one gentleman with the last name of Woods not being mentioned Confused

If he isn't the greatest golfer of all time I'll be a monkeys uncle. And for the record - I don't bring my family into it lightly !

1+1 my earlier post "In golfing history we had Bobby Jones, Arnold Palmer & Jack Nickalus recognized in the past as all time champions, then along came Tiger Woods who surpassed them all.

You think seve is better than Jack?

On a number of levels, yes

No it was in regulation

I must say that shot over the trees and hospitality tent by Neimann was spectacularly good
