    Uh, Where is Snedeker??? Scott is playing very well, but there is still tomorrow...
    You, my friend, know not of what you speak...unarguable point about Tiger being the best (yes, he'd beat Jack in his prime IMO)

    Woods has won 74 official PGA Tour events, 14 majors, has the lowest career scoring average in PGA Tour history, only player to have won all four professional major championships in a row, earned the most $$$ in the history of the Tour, set the all-time record for 142 consecutive cuts made, wins 27.2% of his starts, only golfer to have won the U.S. Amateur three consecutive times, holds the record for most consecutive weeks at No. 1, (281), and the most total number of weeks, (623) AND has spent 750 weeks in the top 10.
    He also holds the largest margin of victory in the US Open, British Open and Masters...
    TOUR player of the year 10 times...PGA Player of the Year 10 times...Vardon trophy winner 8 times...(all records)...
    Granted Jack has 4 more majors, but even HE said Tiger is better - oh, yeah, and Tiger has won more PGA Tour events than Jack. Jack never won MULTIPLE majors in consecutive years either..
    Jack was phenomenal and set the bar Tiger is chasing, but in their primes, Tiger>Jack.
    You can question his character, his "arrogance" and his personality. You can even root against him...But simply Tiger is:
    Best. Ever.
    Your turn Mr. History - please, I'd love to read your thoughts ;)
    Good luck to Adam Scott tomorrow, but GO TIGER!!!

    I am glad the shit show of Stevie and Tiger is not happening tomorrow. A caddie shouldn't be the story of the final round of a major.

    personality plays a huge role and to ignore it is silly. If PJ were jerks and mean to fans and everyone, that would obviously effect peoples perception of the band and music. The fact that tiger went completely overboard plays a huge role. And to ignore that people still feel angry upset let down, and mad at him, is to ignore reality. hell, there was a thread about Oasis the other day and pretty much no one would admit the band was great, the fact they are egomaniacs was the main focus of the thread.

    I think you have to seperate his golf acheievments from his personality. You can admire what he does on the course and still be completely turned off by how he conducts his life. I think most people generally see him for what he is. A supremely talented golfer who messed up royally in his personal life

    I hope Scott blows up so we don't have to hear how this was the biggest win of Williams career.

    OkayI knew this was coming.Go to Wikipedia,copy the stats,Blahblahblah.But according to tiger he is only concerned about Majors.Hey,It is futile to compare eras what with new clubs, balls,even strength of field.I don't even consider Tiger to be better than Palmer,Player,Watson, or even ballesteros.Because for the esoteric few that truly understand the game of golf-it's more than that.
    Golf is almost mystical.Golf represents honor,respect,humilty,courtesy,all of which tiger lacks.This isn't basketball.I don't know,I guess I am just old school,but to see him throw vile spewing hissy fits on almost every bad or semi-bad shot is disgusting for anyone who is a fan of the game.How could you watch this with a kid and say"isn't he great?" It says alot about someone's character when they look up to tiger woods.
    He still hasn't learned a thing after his historic downfall.tiger will never get to 18.The Golf Gods won't allow it.
    Oh,you forgot one more record---most fines.

    Your rebuttal is lame "blahblahblah" -
    Nicely done :lol:
    hate Tiger all u want
    root against him
    hold character and the bullshit isoteric view u have - fine...
    u questioned ME knowing HISTORY
    U have no clue...look at wiki or espn or whatever you need to - to confirm my points
    I know my history...(dad and grandpa both 25+ yr PGA Master Golf professionals)
    u LOSE THIS ARGUMENT DUDE
    I have 3 kids - do I want them to treat their wive and family like Tiger did his - NOPE
    This has nothing to do about his place in history as you challenged me on..
    Do I wish (and hope) they could hit a 2 iron 280 down the middle of a fairway (which u can't, nor anyone u know)...
    Do I hope they can win a US Open at Pebble by 15 shots (only person under par in 2000, next challenger 3 over)
    U bet
    Try again dude
    Ur points r lame - and I know the history of golf.
    U hate Tiger, can't root for him, and wish him not to win 4 more majors - got it.
    Can't take his place away in sports history.
    END

    Wow, insults and nasty - guess "rough mix' is appropriate
    I don't want to argue
    or fill a great thread up with ridiculous banter
    U questioned me knowing history of the greatest game in all of sports
    I simply gave you a retort in which you cannot argue (stats don't lie)
    To get nasty? To lob insults?
    Wow - keep rooting against Tiger buddy, he likes it that way (I see u have been bashing him since 2009 - must be the Canada loving/Red Wing - haven't won since 08 - know it all fan in you old-timer!)
    If you cared at all about "history" (which you apparently don't care about or recognize) or realized his impact on it - this discussion wouldn't haven't gotten this far.
    Ratings when he's not playing?
    Equipment sales since 1997?
    TV revenue since then?
    First Tee program?
    TW Foundation? I'm sure the millions of children he's helped and given scholarships share your belief (NOT)
    How does "history" have anything to do with this????
    Great job roughmix!
    Don't let your hatred blind you...life's too short :nono:
    PEACE
    And when you travel to NorCal - specifically bay area, call me up - I'll have u out at the course where I worked and we can discuss this in person, just to see the if your are the same tuff guy you are behind a keyboard. Guarantee you'd be a tad more polite in person ;)
    Enjoy the Open tomorrow

    Wow,research.Didn't know you were so interested.All you had to do was ask.
    I'll enjoy the Open tomorrow.
    I hope you do also.
    And I am always polite.

    I'm hoping Tiger wins this today, can't wait for the last couple of groups to tee off. Gonna start drinking a little bit earlier than normal today, like 9:30 am :fp:, chicken wings about noon, which is all good cause I'm on holidays next week, no hangovers to worry about.

    I think Graeme McDowell is gonna be the guy to watch out for, his game has been very solid the last yr.

    Going to be tough for anyone to catch Scott, he's playing nearly perfect golf.

    Hope something happens to add to the drama.
