Majors are the primary yardstick that most people use. No one cares about winning some 30 person tour championship or some defunct tournament with 50 people. Those are exhibitions. I use other sports to show that I have a coherent thought process because this debate seems fraught with emotion because of the names. Jack and Tiger are just nouns to me. I have no emotional attachment to either one. The thought process would be no different in evaluating Jeongeun Kim5 or Jeongeun Kim6. It is not hard to comprehend. I even gave you a helpful example of Clemson football so that you would understand. If you can't understand that, life is going to be too much for you.

And that gap between Tiger’s total wins against Jack’s is massive. And aside from your obsession with majors, Tiger’s accomplishments are massive compared to Jack’s. And stop using other sports as an example. This is golf. Have you not looked at the lists of Tiger vs Jack accomplishments and records? It’s comical to look at both of them and derive that Jack is the GOAT. You acknowledge the weak fields Jack played in then turn around and state how amazing his major records are. That makes no sense at all. -

I didn't disregard it at all. I acknowledged and I am very well aware that the British Open often didn't have the best players (which was still true in the 90s but to a lesser extent), the PGA Championship had a lot of club pros and golf in general was a much less viable profession so the fields were more top heavy. Clemson plays college football in the ACC. The ACC is a much weaker conference than the SEC and Big Ten. Clemson often had great teams that were discounted because people used the same thinking as you. Just because the SEC is tougher doesn't imply that every team ore even the top teams are better. This conversation would be more relevant if Jack only had a slightly better major record. The gap between Jack and Tiger in majors records is massive. Tiger's 50th place finishes and DNPs aren't magically becoming 2nds in the 60s and 70s. -

For a large chunk of Jack’s early majors, he didn’t even have 10 people with a reasonable chance to win against him. You can’t just disregard that.
