Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

mr jack....

I think in Jack's time, good players had a larger advantage because the equipment was a harsher judge of ability. Today's drivers and golf balls I think level the playing field a bit more and it's even more impressive that Tiger has the dominance he does.

I wonder how much money Tiger has made for the PGA, players and equipment manufacturers? The game really hit a new level of popularity because of him and how often do you see total hacks at the range or on the course with a brand new set of Nike everything?

Tiger's great; but to do what Jack has done, with a lot more competition, using what, today, would be considered

Isn't that what Phil said about Tiger a few year back???

[Sir Ryan]

So far Jack, Tiger hasn't done what he has, yet!

I'm positive in years to come though, Tiger will surpass.

[browndog]

I think Tiger is better for younger golfers to get started in the sport.

I voted for Tiger, but I did not see Jack in his prime so what do I know....

I know one thing for sure, Tigers swing is looking real good after the surgery.

[beachbreak]

I have seen both. Take this with a grain of salt, but I don't think Tiger will win four more majors. His swing seems too "violent" to me, one that will do him a disservice as he ages and injuries take their toll. I think he will have to retool it again at some point in the near future and scale it back.

Jack all da way!

Tiger is the man! But I've never seen much of Jack Nicklaus' play, cause I'm too young, so I might have changed my opinion if I were some 20 years older. Still, Tiger has won 14 majors this far, and he's 33 years old, 13 years into hos professional career. He's still young, and he's still got what it takes to win. But I think it will be easier to say that Tiger Woods is the best player out there after he's ended his career with 30 major wins

I'm sticking with tiger

Toss up, it'd be interesting to see them playing in prime shape together. I wonder if you took away alot of the technical advances made recently how similar Tiger would be to Jack's play in the day?

[drawdrive]

Tough to say since they're from different eras. I'd say Tiger has done more for the game - awareness, athleticism, diversity. If Tiger wins more majors, he'll have the title of greatest, but until then, it's probably a toss up.

[bpolunin]

Tiger all the way

[Canadian]

Tiger for me but I was not born yet to see Jack play :(

[glk23]

Jack but it's pretty close.

[rsox5092]

I'm goin with a mix Jackiger or Tigack

[Buzzzard]

I have to say tiger because when you take tigers best game ever vrs jacks best game ever tiger blows him away i dont believe you can go with majors yet because tiger is not done playing yet

[Sukh]

I think Tiger had a harder ride to the top, but Jack had more competition, so Jack it is :)
