Tiger has 4 majors per year and he is going to have a tough time. His knee has been operated on 3 times? British Open? No way. He missed the cut in 2009. Masters? If Phil is playing well then forget it. Phil was awesome last year. PGA and US Open maybe but the young guns at the PGA were pretty awesome last year. Bombers DJ and Bubba, technician Kaymer and 21 year old Rory McIlroy.
The Tiger fanboys on GolfWrx have said that Tiger should aswallow his pride and go back to Butch Harmon who is supposedly the best golf coach in the world. Tiger quit Butch years ago.
Butch has Mickelson and about 5 other very good golfers as clients - all nice guys too. So Butch is gonna take back cheap Tiger when Mickelson probably pays him $1 million a year? Butch gets on well with cheerful Phil too. Ain’t gonna happen. Butch does not even like Tiger.
Jack finished 2nd 19 times in Majors. So his 1-2 finishes put him at 37
Disagree with HT’s easy-to-say line that competition is better now. Like Jim Thorpe and Jim Brown being the best RBs of all time, there are those who say (”argue”) that today’s backs are better because of better defenses, better this or that. Besides, Tiger is imploding. His search for low hanging fruit, i.e. # of Majors wins, is pathetic.
In any event, Tiger will never reach the character quotient Jack had and which Earle wished for his son to have.
