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.
I haven't looked at all of Snead's wins, but I'm sure a bunch were meaningless tournaments, no?0 -
27 holes of golf tonight. Tiger just hit a 30+ footer0

These crowds are much bigger than a us open0

Strange that Japan has not yet hosted a PGA tour event.0

The smoothest his swing has looked in a very very long time though, including the masters0

I have news for you. Anyone who uses 82 wins in a Jack vs tiger argument is losing the argument0

Never said it doesn’t sound good. Just said it doesn’t mean anything in a tiger/jack comparison or do anything for his legacy. That was in stone after East lake and especially Augusta.0

Have you seen the leader board? The Houston Open had zero players in the Top 30. This tournament has a lot of big names. It is just in the fall season. Matsuyama, Woodland, Schauffle, Wolfe, McIlroy, Spieth, Day, etc... He's winning because he is playing outstanding golf. This is a tough tournament to win.
Majors are important but not everything when it comes to greatness. Is a two major win career better than a 20 win career with no majors?

I know Tiger is old now but glad that he is playing nine more holes this round. He is playing well today. Keep the three shot lead through the next nine and cruise tomorrow. That 18th hole feels like a bogey though. And he bogeyed #1 today.

The 2 and 20 thing is one thing. Tiger winning a random tournament changes nothing. Can you honestly say you will have any different view of his career if he wins this thing? Winning the zozo changes and increases your opinion of his career?0 -
The 2 or 29 thing is interesting. JT alway talks about how majors are most important and he doesn’t think about money or play for the money because of he plays the way he should, money will take care of its self. Pretty standard answer for a top player in the world.
Joel Dahmen just said recently he doesn’t care about majors and would take the FedEx cup money over a major win 10 times out of 10. Said the top players can think about their legacy but the $15 mil would change his grandkids lives.
Like seeing the different views. Dahmen is becoming a favorite0
