  1. Remember, when Jack and Arnie were winning, they weren't allowing black players on tour.
     
  2. Where's the stat on how many players have won 3 tournies in a single year?

    With that, Phil and possibly Ernie are the only ones who can pad their wins and they are winning at a 1-2 per year ratio and can only do that for about 5 more years max.

    Also the 12% is flawed. Nicklaus playing well over 15 events a year in the mid 40's(barring miraculous Masters) and 50's where he had no chance of winning.

    For these stats to matter, you have to let everyone who Tiger is playing against finish their careers.

    also, I don't think there is any arguing that tiger is playing against a deeper talent pool then Jack was.

    18 - Byron Nelson, 1945
    13 - Ben Hogan, 1946
    11 - Sam Snead, 1950
    10 - Ben Hogan, 1948
    9 - Paul Runyan, 1933 - Tiger Woods, 2000 - Vijay Singh, 2004
    8 -
    Horton Smith, 1929
    Gene Sarazen, 1930
    Sam Snead, 1938
    Byron Nelson, 1944
    Arnold Palmer, 1960
    Arnold Palmer, 1962
    Johnny Miller, 1974
    Tiger Woods, 1999
    Tiger Woods, 2006

    Cant find a list that goes down to just 3 wins, but i'm sure it has happened alot.

    no, the argument made by most is that the people jack played against were stronger at the top, thus making it easier to top ten but harder to win

    Yes it was a joke - like the Babe Ruth vs. Hank Aaron arguments.

    Not arguing that point, just saying it is deeper. the 100th ranked players has more talent now than when Jack was in his prime.

    Not really a good stat to look at yet. Once Tiger reaches 300 tourneys we should revisit it. He is at 271.

    Is the bolded part a fact? I'm sure you could argue there were only a couple good players then compared to now using the same stats. Also he's gonna kill it for the next 10 years or so anyways and it will all be a moot point and you will look really stupid, can't wait to make fun of you in 2023.

    Edit-ignore the top, less talented players total but more at the top does make some sense.

    Already done that pretty much. #70 has 13 wins. But the biggest number here is top 30. Tiger played against 2 while Jack played against 10. Furyk needs 5 more wins...Highly unlikable. Davis Love 1, Same...Ernie 3, maybe. Toms and Duval 8, not happening. Top 30 have 21 wins. Highly unlikable that even 2 players reach that that are playing now. Like its been said, top to bottom the fields are stronger now, but at the top its no question that Jack had it harder.
  12. You could argue that today the field of elite players is larger and the skill level spread is much narrower and thus it is tougher to be a repeat winner.

    I'd say it's more likely that Furyk wins 5 more times than it is that Els wins 3 more times in PGA Tour events.

    No, a deeper field of talented players makes the opposite argument seem more valid. An elite top 10 might not even crack top 25 year after year in today's pool. Given the evolution of the sport, globalization, Nationwide and other tours, and the vast amount of money and resources going into it, the athletes attracted to it will be better now than ever. A better argument would be scoring average, countering with equipment changes, then rebutting with 'Tiger-proofing'. There are variables that will make either argument a reasonable debate. Jack stood out among his generation more than Tiger (maybe), but Jack would have beat Tiger consistently, I think anyone would argue against that. They would probably be rivals.

    Annika Sorenstam has 93 wins, 10 majors, 307 starts and a win rate over 25%. LPGA has about 15 golfers with more than 10 wins, and is very top-heavy talent pool. Is she better that Jack?

    So who's third? Jones is the only person I can think that comes close to Hagen, but he retired at like 30 or something.
  22. Hogan came from almost dying to kill the golf world in a year. Palmer is also ahead of Hagen. I'd also put Slammin Sammi over him. Jones too
    Edited By: ZeeDustin Jul 3rd, 2012 at 10:28 PM
  23. I'd have to say

    The Bear
    The Tiger
    Hogan
    Palmer
    Slammin Sammi
    Lord Byron
    Hagen / Watson
    Sarrazen sp?
    Francis Ouimet
  24. wait? are you people trying to say that people who played 30,40,50 years ago are better than the players on tour today? and using total number of wins in their careers to argue that fact? thats funny, because my thinking would be that those guys won so much cause the rest of the tour sucked dick. and now a days just about anybody can go out there and put together 4 incredible rounds and win an event. deeper talent pool now... harder to win now...
  25. any person that doesn't have Tiger on top is clearly delusional. like completely batshit insane.

    Most including me think he will be, if not already but for you to say this makes you look dumb

    Tiger measures by majors, he is #2 plain and simple so you just called tiger batshit insane

    And this is best golf, not talent or anything other than best by rank
  27. lol sample size? who has won a greater % of majors? efficiency is the true measure of greatness. quality > quantity, etc... sorry if I don't penalize Tiger for being in his 30's still.

    tommpat calling me dumb? great stuff.

    http://capelleongolf.com/2012/04/04/...-2012-masters/

    Accorrding to this they are tied for major pace, tiger obv has better reg events due to a lot of reasons. One being all the ones jack played after he couldn't win, another being people were scared of tiger and he could cruise

    Anywho, Waco making joke about me being dumb, while making his second uniformed post I a row, great stuff

    Joking but you already took the dick line
  29. yeah, stating that Tiger is the best ever is uninformed. LOLOLOLOL

    so Tiger skipped 4 majors and is still slightly ahead of Jack's pace? got it.

    you called me dumb first. I simply called insane people insane.
