Well I guess it depends on if you are talking about over their career or right now. Right now Phil, but over their careers the numbers speak for themselves.

Luckily the poll doesn't include any reference to golf - ability or resume.

I suspect Phil is better.

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.

I have a feeling this poll will end up being about 50/50.

How? I have no idea.

I don't think anyone could seriously ask this. We might want to say Phil has this or that, but the numbers just don't reflect it.

Let's take a look here:

Name - Phil/Tiger
Start - 1988/1992
Events - 411/255
Cuts - 341/239
OWGR - #2/#1
Wins - 38/71
Majors - 4/14
Top 10 - 148/213

For Tiger to even miss a cut is breaking news. For Tiger to lose while going into the final round with the lead is almost unheard of. For Tiger to not win a major in a year is major news. For Tiger to win less than 5 times a year is unusual. The two are absolute worlds apart.

If Tiger wasn't in the picture, Phil would be in and out of the #1 spot, and would be a Trevino or Watson at best. Tiger is Nicklaus and then some. It took Nicklaus a lot longer to get as many wins and majors as Tiger has now. So, to compare them and try to say Phil is better is just silly. Phil certainly has as much, and maybe more talent, but the numbers favor Tiger.

Tiger Woods, not even close. This isn't Tiger's first rough patch, and it's not like Phil has never had one. And come on, Tiger has nearly double the wins and 3.5 times the majors.

Phil is also older, and has been playing longer. Even if Tiger never won another tournament, I seriously doubt Phil could catch up.

As a person... it MAY be a different story.

I am a dedicated AYBT (Anyone but Tiger) member, and have been since the beginning, but to deny that he is not the best golfer of our generation, at least, is just foolish. I will still hold out that Jack was the best until Tiger passes his records, but I think that is just a bit of denial.

Phil is better right now. Anyone who thinks otherwise is dilusional. Phil just won the Masters for piss sakes and Tiger couldn't hit a fairway if it were from here to eternity wide. Career wise? That's obviously no contest.

Really? Tiger is easily twice the player that phil is...the records speak for themselves. Tiger is some 6 or 7 years younger to boot.
