There is not a golfer out there today who can match Tiger.
I’ve been watching PGA golf for the last 50 years, and I’ve seen them all play and none can match Tiger Woods. He is one in a million. When he isn’t playing, there is no excitement. It’s like watching the grass grow.
How do you match a guy who can win the US Open with a broken leg. There’s none like him. Earl would be proud.
Match him how? Let’s see, majors - Nicklaus. Second place finishes in majors - Nicklaus. Tour victories - Snead. Ryder Cup record - Woods is tied for the second worst record in U.S history. And on and on and on...But let’s not let the facts get in the way of people’s emotional connection...because after all, ‘feelings’ are way more important than facts. Someday Tiger will likely be the greatest, based on facts and based on record. Definitely an incredible talent. Let’s not let our man-crush cloud our reality. “The Media’s Man-Crush on Tiger Woods”.
