With all due respect to Jack, my opinion is bias and limited only to what I've witnessed. I didn't take up the sport but 10 years ago and really did not follow Jacks career as I have Tigers. Tiger will have completely re-writen the record books well before he's eligable to play the seniors tour. I'm not sure if Jack was quite as dominant or has changed the landscape of the game as Tiger has. I'd say Tigers the man.

Wedges - Vokie SM 52.08, 56.14, 60.10 Putter - Scotty C NewportBall - Titleist Pro V1


If it were a year ago I would say Tiger. But after his '4th' knee surgery, I do not know if he can have a career as long as Jack. We'll see.

Well I'm going to waffle.
The greatest is;
Bobby Jones in his time
Hogan in his prime
Then Jack had his
Now it's Tiger, will his bones withstand the stress he applies to continue his record breaking pace.......stay tuned.


I am sure it's only because I have just recently got into golf, but I have to go with Tiger. I wasn't old enough to see Jack in his prime and as most do, you go with what you know. I am a product of the hype machine.

I hope tiger wins every tournament he plays in. Period, he is the best to watch, his character, and attitude for the game. But Arnie is my favorite player of all time.

I grew up watching Arny, when Jack came along although a great player I could never bring myself to root for him, I'm hoping Tiger keeps playing long enough to break all the records.

as much as I love jack, I am going to say that tiger is still the top when it comes to Golf....

I enjoy watching both Golfers, and think that playing wiht or against both would be a great Honor, i have to give the edge to Tiger.

but im more of a fan of johnny

I wasnt alive to see Jack in his prime, but from clips I have seen I would still have to go with Tiger. When they show Tiger win the masters when he was 21 and destroy the entire field, it makes the decision a little easier for me.

Tiger is a golfing machine, I don't know if he is even categorized asa player. Nicklaus was a fantastic player and in my experience a much funnier and nicer guy than he appears on tv

Although I think Tiger's the best, I watched Phil Mickelson laugh, smile, and high-five the fans at Riviera today. I wish Tiger could soften his game face and be more accessible to fans. I understand he's an intense competitor, but without the fans, he would not be as rich as he is.

I think they both have been good for the game. I also believe that golfers are better athletes today than they were 30 years ago. No offense to those who played during Jack"s era, but Tiger is not only a great golfer with tremendous skill, he is an amazing athlete.

    • 26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity. 
    • Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
