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

[Nick88]

You cant really compare them both until Tiger has retired from golf, than you can look back and say he has the most major wins etc etc!

[bkcali]

While I think Jack was a much better competitor, I think Tiger wills himself to win better than anyone...period!

[RC]

Yeah, the actual record counts for something...
Jack won 18 majors -- all time leader.
He also won 8 Senior or Champions Tour majors -- all time leader there, too.

[KBaum]

I agree it's hard to tell with Tiger still in the prime of his game. But I think athletes only get better and better. My pick is Tiger!

[cbr]

Tiger without a doubt.

[eddiefebuary]

Tiger by default because I'm so new that I don't know Jack.

[Chip in]

Jack is untouchable.

[BravoKilo]

Gotta go with Tiger

[dannymac63]

I would have to say they're both equal in my book.

Jack played at such a disadvantage because of the hardware he had to work with, though Tiger is being hindered by some of toughest courses and conditions known to man.

They had an unmatched will to win, it's a shame Jack couldn't have grown up at the same time as Tiger...imagine the battles.

[AlphaRider]

They are both great!

[Hutch]

Turning 40 this year, I've seen plenty of both and enough film of Jack's early years. Prior to this year I probably would have said Jack, but now it's squarely Tiger.

but everyone in jacks era used the same equipment so it made it square, and yea people saying its easier cause the ball goes further.thats why they lengthen courses

[rickmiller]

tiger, the best I've seen

[dmbisbest]

tiger... wow he is good.

[heiss30]

They are both obviously the best golfers of their era's. But I would say Tiger is the best. Even when he isn't playing that well or hitting many fairways he still finds a way to win.

[senorchipotle]

one word: tiger woods.

[negative330]

I think it is so hard to compare across era's, just as any other sport. Equipment as well as the competetion is vastly different.

[JaY_B]

one word: tiger woods.

um... how many words
