Still Jack Nicklaus. Tiger will be. But Jack was just amazing.

Technical Tiger is sound. Better swing then Jack. And this is strange to say it but Tiger isnt mentally as tough as Jack. But Tiger is still mentally toughier then anyone in todays world.

Stiles and GH are the resident experts on Golf but I have noticed that Tiger is somewhat of a loner. He doesn't play well in teams as opposed to single events.

Thats basically it. His ideal world is when he is against everything. Only himself to blame if it goes wrong.

I claim to be good. Handicap of 15 says otherwise.

Tiger may be ranked #1 in money earnings right now, but in terms of how he is playing recently he is piss poor. Look at the ryder cup. the money order is like the FIFA world rankings...it is little or no indication as to how good the peopel really are.

Oh my god. Are you insane? Seriously this season Tiger is playing the best golf i have ever seen. His ball striking is beauitful. He is finding more fairways with his driving. His G.I.R has always been great. And although he had a brief putting dip around the US Open. He looks back to his best.

He has won 6 straight stroke play events. I mean honest to god that is the second best run of tournaments in modern history. And guess who is tied second? Tiger Woods again in his 2000 season. Which is undoubtly the best proffessional season ever.

I wuldnt say the Order of Merit is piss poor.

Look at the 3 main tours world wide. PGA Tour, LPGA Tour and European Tour.

Tiger, Lorana Orcoha and Paul Casey lead each respectively. And all three of them have been the best in their repective tours.

em...so why does he suck in the ryder cup every time...and that is not the best run...I remember someone winning 11 in a row...IN A ROW...Tiger...can't touch that. And the order of merit is not so accurate becuase it all depends on purse size not on player skill.

15 is...alright lol...everyoen at my club is about a 25 its downright boring to play with peopel shooting high 90s all the time.

Ok you want to bring up Ryder Cup.

Lets look at the Ryder Cup its a team format. He has to rely on partners in these format. Something Tiger doesnt like.

Whereas when he plays singles.

He has a 4 wins, 0 draws, 0 loss record.

Clearly this means that the team format doesnt suit him.

The 11 wins ina row you talk about is Byron Nelson. And all i have to say is his 11 wins in a row were against fields of 30-40 players. Compared to the 120+ Tiger has to deal with these days.

I dont take anything away from Lord Nelson. 11 wins in a row is Phenomenal. But i dont compare it to Tigers.

And the bigger the prize fund, means the bigger tournaments, the bigger tournmants mean big players. Lets look at the facts.

The four majors were won this year by.

Phil Mickleson
Geoff Ogilvy
Tiger Woods x2.

Can you say they aint talented players.

These players win big tournaments and therefore get bigger prize funds. So therefore the rankings are correct.

Being off 15 is alright. Need to drop though.
