i think the question is will tiger beat jacks most wins and more majors record?

because on paper jack is the better golfer with out seeing them play golf. but these days aren't like the days jack played in so who knows. until tiger beats jacks records i'd say jack is the better player

Tiger no doubt. He won on one leg.

I measure greatness by two factors. # of majors, and # of wins.

As of now, jack has more. So my vote goes to jack

Although Tiger has surpassed Jack in many "milestones", he has yet to surpass those benchmarks i've just highlighted. With that said, Tiger can get hit by a car tomorrow so until he achieves it, he's second-rate in my book

Anyone who can win a playoff on a 'bum" knee for a major championship is pretty good I must say.

It's too early to say Tiger is the greatest... if he keeps up the way he is playing now for another 10 years ..he will beat every golf record easily. Tiger will one day be the greatest just because of his competitiveness.

I'm an old guy who watched Jack in the 70's, so I have to go with him for now. If Tiger keeps his singlemindedness and drive to pass Jack's records I think he'll have a legitimate claim to being called the greatest.

I've only been a golfer while Tiger has been playing. Jack sure does have some incredible courses down here in Mexico though. Played San Luis Potosi signature course a couple weeks ago and it was awesome and FREE! I'ts not what you know but who you know.

Just like a number of others on here, I'm too young to know much about Jack. I grew up more so with Tiger, so I am going to have to go with him.

I think Tiger will eventually surpass all of Jack's records. That said, Jack played with a quarter of the technology available today. Ever tried to hit a persimen driver? Jack could hit one 300 yards straight as an arrow or working it either way.

    • Day 316 - More swings, full backswing and full finish.
    • Day 132: did some mirror work while watching TV. Worked on backswing stuff primarily. 
    • 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.
