A trip down memory lane. The volume is not level across the board, so don't turn it up too much.

Hubert Green wins the 1970s sartorial stakes in 1977, for having green trousers the color of a Ford Pinto and matching green and white saddleback shoes.

Something happened to speed up greens in the 1970s. The '60 putts are heavily struck. Jacklin, in 1970, truly clobbered that putt. Nicklaus's 1980 putt is a fair bit shorter, but looks much more like a "modern" putt.

And, for some odd reason I can't fully explain, Payne Stewart in 1999 still makes me the happiest.

    • I know what those are, and they were unofficial. They were mostly to create conversation… and promote Mark McCormack's own clients. What Matt said is correct: Tiger's career spanned 24 years. Regardless, 15 > 19 when factoring in the competition, and 82 >> 72 when doing so.
    • The McCormack rankings started in 1968. They used a nearly identical methodology as the original Sony rankings. except it was a three year look back vs two. Number of good years and total output is what matters when talking about the span of career.  All years are not created equally.
    • The OWGR didn't even exist until Jack was 46 years old. So… What he said is true. Jack turned pro in 1961. He won his last PGA Tour event in 1986. That's 26 years. Tiger turned pro in 1996. He last won a PGA Tour event in late 2019. That's a span of 24 years. What he said is true. Tiger's "career" (not counting 2020-2024 where he played a handful of events each year, like Jack often would) lasted 24 years.
    • People don't realize it because it isn't true.   Tiger had the following money list rankings in years you are counting as part of his career span. 68, 128, 201, 162, NA, NA, 24, 38, 223, 225   Nicklaus didn't drop out of the top 10 in the world golf rankings until he was 44. Nicklaus had 10 more years where he had a top ten finish in a major than Tiger has had as of now.
