  1. 1. Which is most likely (you HAVE to pick one or the other)?

    • Tiger wins two (2) more majors in his career
      23
    • Rory wins six (6) more majors in his career
      9

Rory has at least 100 more majors to play in (assuming he plays the next 25 years).  I don't think it's unreasonable that he'll win 6 of those.

I guess that depends on whether you believe Rory is better than Phil.  Phil's played for 24 years and only won 5 and I think the competition is getting tougher as time goes on.

Conversely, I don't think Rory or any other golfer on the Tour right now is good enough to win 6 majors given the only active golfer to win 5 besides Tiger is Phil.

This got me to wondering:

Did you know that there are only 4 active players (under 50 years old) that have more career PGA tour wins OF ANY KIND than Tiger's 14 majors?

Phil has 42, Davis Love 20, Ernie Els 19, and Jim Furyk 16.

Similarly ... Tiger also has more regular tour wins since his last major, than every other PGA tour player (except the same 4 listed above) have in their entire careers.

It's at least five if you consider "active" players regardless of their age: http://www.pgatour.com/players/player.06567.vijay-singh.html/season

It was easy to make the cutoff at 50 because of the way wiki had it listed, but yeah, vijays up there too. ;). You could make a case for 6 and add Fred Couples too. And if you wanted to stretch it, Kenny Perry, but that's pretty much the end of the list.

I didn't know that but I'm not shocked.  I've watched enough golf over the last 10 years to have a pretty good idea that no one except the 5 or 6 you and Erik mentioned win that much.

As good as Rory had been and could be, I can't see him winning 6 more majors.  Rory is a nice kid, but unless he develops an edge, he's not mentally strong enough imo to win 6 more.

Wow. Tough question, good poll. The more I think about it the tougher it is to settle on an answer. I think they'll both happen but you specifically ruled that out as a voting possibility... I'll get back to ya.

Agreed, this is def hard because both could/should happen. I will say this... If Tiger gets back in good health I think he has a better chance of winning 2 than Rory 6. However, considering right now I don't even know if Tiger is going to make it to the masters....

    • We do not buy extended warranties. We will use one of our credit cards for the purchase that extends the warranty "x 2". Our thoughts are: a. if the item is a lemon, it will likely break right away and we can attempt to apply the original warranty or credit card extension. b. over the long haul, we will probably save more money by not purchasing the extended warranty and fixing/junking broken items out of our own pocket. The important thing is to keep some records of purchases so one may make a claim under the manufacturer's warranty. I recently sent back some Footjoy shoes for leaking and Footjoy did a reat job of making the claim process work very well. I had the original receipt, warrant info and box. Easy peasy.
