Title: Tiger is better than Jack, right, like that's not even debatable, right?
Post by: Emo EMAW on May 15, 2013, 09:37:52 AM
Sure Jack has more majors, but Tiger has won 27% of the tournaments he's entered.

yeah probably. if jack ends up with more majors when all is said and done then he has an argument, but i don't see that happening.

i think in a situation of different era's, different competition, different equipment, etc. etc. that yeah, it's probably the best way to measure who's better.

Comparing people who play golf today to people who played golf 50 years ago is just dumb. The equipment has changed so much that there is just no way to have any kind of a fair comparison.

Isn't it, for the most part, safe to assume that stuff today is superior to old stuff?  The knowledge base is just bigger, yielding better stuff.

Yeah, but golf is a pretty weird sport. I'm not sure if bigger, faster, stronger applies to it like it does other sports.

I've already mentioned that technology has made a huge difference. If you were a better reader you would have caught that.

tiger benefited from entering the golf scene when there wasn't a single decent player in their prime. right now it is studs on studs on studs. tiger's eliteness will always be blown out of proportion unless he starts winning majors right now.

Jack Nickleswhatever is like the Red Grange of Golf. From what I understand, they used goat heads for golf balls back then.

like, Jack in his absolute prime right now wouldn't sniff making a cut. he would be completely out classed.

I really don't think that is the case, steve dave. I mean, he made it to within 1 stroke of making the cut in the PGA championship when he was 60. I think that Tiger in his prime might have been better than Jack in his prime, but to say that Jack in his prime, given today's equipment of course, couldn't make a cut in today's game is just ridiculous.
