But Sam Snead isn't even in the conversation, so what does breaking some record of his from the 40s and 50s matter?
Not that they will sit and watch, but every word that will be written will have Jack and Tiger as 1 and 2, one way or the other. I think the 25% number is much more powerful and at this point I just don't see what winning some random dumb tournament matters anymore. The Masters cemented him to me as the best golfer ever, winning the John Deere is completely irrelevant.

It's just a numbers game. Everyone knows Tiger is a better golfer than Sam Sneed. But if you think Tiger doesn't care, even a little bit, about finishing second to him you're crazy.
I know Sneed’s name because he has the most wins. Once tiger breaks that bye bye Sneed in 30 years.
if the GOAT debate is based on majors, then so be it. But if not, you need to put a list of criteria together. All time wins leader is a damn good stat to have in your column.

I agree with most of what you're saying. His cuts made streak and win percentage will never be touched. But I don't look at it as breaking Snead's record as a comparison to him vs Snead. It's about Tiger being on top of one win category and Jack another. At the end of the day, nobody is going to say, but it was the John Deere. It will just be known as a PGA win. (Side note- him winning the John Deere now would be a lot more impressive than most tournaments he won when he was younger.)

Another record of his that will never be touched his time spent atop the world golf rankings. Two separate five year reigns? Incredible.'

That’s fair and I’ll lean in on that a little. Any record is a good record. I just don’t think another (it’s one to tie, right?) regular win changes a damn thing. Majors are the only thing that matters at this point in my mind
It isn't easy to win any tournament let alone 81 of them. Ask Jordan Spieth how easy it is to win right now? Justin Thomas? A great year for most players is two victories. Three is player of the year stuff. WGC's have better fields than majors and Tiger has cleaned up on those. 18 vs. 15 majors isn't a runaway in my opinion and isn't a big enough difference to proclaim one better than the other unless they played in the same era.
That is awesome! You can't have many hiccups to get that score.
I'm getting hopeful to break that 80 barrier sometime this year. Got my handicap down to 11.6 today with an 85. The short game is there. Right now the 20 - 80 yard pitch shots are killing me. Just need to go to a course when it isn't busy and bounce around and just hit those shots (a lot more fun than a range). Although you gotta fix all the ball marks.

Thanks! I had a couple birdies that helped and a couple long par putts too that I got.
Keep up the good work! Im at a 10.2 handicap myself. Trying to get in single digits and stay there. Short game has killed me lately.

Those long par putts are huge. Now what did you get on 18? Must have been feeling the pressure.

Actually bogeyed 18. Had no idea what my score was at the time but I knew I had a good round going. Headed back out today. Will probably shoot a 95 🤪

Congrats! I can't play like that though. I need to know my score.

I’ve had a few rounds over the years where I needed par or bogey to break 80. Definitely gets the nerves up. It’s crazy when you think about the pressure your pros are faced with. But they’re used to it.
This leaderboard is getting VERY interesting. I've got a 7:40 ET tee time tomorrow morning. Should be done by 11 and then I'm going to be a total couch potato all afternoon.
I absolutely guaranteed that Spieth and Kuchar would have said they would have played the shot from the bush and taken the free drop. Way to have integrity Westwood!

Rain and 35 mph wind. Really hope someone makes a run at Lowry
