Did Jack have a bum knee and a sh*tty attitude? The young players are too good now and much longer than Tiger.
Jack’s advantage is that he was always longer than his peers. Jack would crush it.
Then there also is the steroids rumors, the speculation that he got off them after the 2008 US Open and it hurt his golf. I am not talking about Jack.
In the 1970’s, Nicklaus was top 10 in both driving distance AND accuracy.
His short game was mediocre by tour standards even then, but when he had his A game, it didn’t matter
Current tour, no-one is even close to top 10 in both distance and accuracy.
In contrast, Woods = no class on the way up; no class on the way down.
