Jack and Tiger. Tiger and Jack. When looking at their victories over the years, they are both impressive. Tiger seems to be ahead, but Jack still has something to say about it.

Can anyone stop Tiger's roar at Medinah? Don't bet on it.

Living in the era of Tiger Woods must give us some idea of living during the heyday of Babe Ruth or Joe Dimaggio or other giants...you couldn't wait to read the sports page for the drama they provided. I was visiting in another city a very nice club to which I don't belong. A group of us were sitting in the beautiful wood panelled bar having a cool drink after a Sunday round. The men's pro tournament final round was on the TV. A fellow sitting with us said he was glad Tiger wasn't playing that weekend because he was tired of seeing Tiger win. Perhaps, in a most undiplomatic moment, I turned to him and suggested that he might also wish to rewrite the record books authored by Nickalaus, Jones, Nelson, Snead, etc., because maybe they won too much, too. And while he was at it, he should go ahead and rewrite the records of Michael Jordan, Johnny Unitas, Muhammed Ali, and Wayne Gretzky. I told him if he could just hang on until Tiger died to rewrite Tiger's records, he would give truth to Voltaire's statement that history is a joke the living play on the dead. I have not been invited to return to that club but, I have continued to cheer Tiger on, relish the sheer joy of living in the age of such an athlete and marvel at the swiftness with which he continues to set a pace only he can achieve.

hahah, nice Bruce. Just like the trophy engravers at the Major Championships, they probably had a cake decorator on hand as he walked up 18

I'd be wary of that cake Tiger. It might have been sitting around for at least a week with the icing getting touched up in time for Sunday.

Tiger Woods has won more majors than, oh, just about 99% of the PGA Tour players have won regular tour events. I think that speaks volumes.
