"I say if Roger plays the way he's playing now for the next four or five years, he and Tiger are right there on the same level.

And I think Roger will continue at this level"


Nicklaus won the Masters at 41.
Tiger is every bit as strong, fit and good as Nicklaus was.
I don't know anyone who has won a men's singles tennis slam when they were 41 in the recent past.
Tiger will be wining slams for longer than Federer will.

You are either not very bright, or, you are just having a real bad day.

Just because one game (tennis) is much more physically demanding than the other (golf), thus careers are much shorter in tennis, has nothing to do with this discussion of excellence in one's sport.

Rationality is not your friend.

Actually Nicklaus won last in 1986 at the age of 46. (And finished 6th in 1998 at the age of 58.)
