Hello again golf nuts and welcome to yet another Hittin' the Links. We have a new World Number One! If you didn't see this coming, then you haven't been paying attention. Rory McIlroy has it all and I have a feeling he will be atop our beloved World Golf Rankings for some time to come.
In this edition of HtL we begin with a look at our new Number One, then investigate some rumors about Tiger, and take a peek at the guy with the smoothest putting stroke I have ever seen. Also, we check out the downside of professional golf, take a look back at some past World Number Ones, and do a wrap-up of the week's events. Read on!
If you only read the title of this article you might think this is another comparison on who is the best golfer of all time. No, considering the stall that Tiger has had in his current play it really ends the debate for now. Over the course of his career Jack is by far the better player. More major victories, 18 versus 14, but what really puts Jack over the top for me is the number of second-place finishes in majors, 19 versus six. And if you include top-ten finishes in majors Jack really starts to pull away.
