Phil every day of the week. You can stick your 14 Majors if it means being that miserable on course.

That's a great way to put it. Being able to win lots of golf tournaments is one thing, enjoying a great family life is quite another.

It would really be interesting to get inside Tiger's head to see how he really feels about the way his life has played out since 2009 or so.

He gets to see his kids a lot more, which he says is wonderful.

Be careful in assuming that Phil's life off the course is that much better or fulfilling than Tiger's. The little bit we know of these guys' personal lives is nothing.

For all you know Tiger could be a very happy man off the course. He is young and time heals all wounds. He could still have a great happy relationships with even his ex-wife, though in a different way.

There's definitely something to be said for that.

Tiger's never been "miserable" on the course. He's ultra competitive which manifests in frustration at times.

Id say Phil because when he won he shared it with his family on the course.Tiger.......well he shared it with his caddy....then later with whatever female he could find.

I distinctly remember a very young Sam hugging her father after the 2008 US Open.

Tiger's family is younger. As is Tiger.

Either, I will take Derek Fathauer's career on what is now the MONEY tour... I doubt we see anything near Jack, or Tiger ever again... 100 guys made over 1M last year... Does seem to be quite a fall off down to the 250K range reaching only 200 guys... Still, lots of money to be made vs 40 years ago...

Once you reach a plateau like Speith, the attention, time, and marketing take over so that many people can get rich and it is money first, legacy and golf is second...

    • Day 128: 5/3/24 Spent 10 minutes chipping and putting at The Creek golf course after visiting a relative.  Greens are slow, and I putted quite well. Perhaps I should seek courses with much slower greens!
    • Not to take away from the OP's question but the Snell 3.0 is about all you could ask for in a ball. I'm not a paid spokesman and my opinion does not reflect on the owner of the site. Lexi Thompson could beat most people with a Top Flite, or a Nitro. Ben Griffin? He doesn't offer a lot of street cred so I'll pass. Now if Fat Perez or Heavy Ballesteros start using it then?????? 😀
    • Just read that Peter Oosterhuis passed away. He was the one and only celebrity I have asked for an autograph! In September 2007, I was in the Charlotte Airport awaiting a flight reading my October 2007 Golf Magazine. It was during the FedEx playoffs and Tiger had just won the previous tournament with the Tour Championship the next event. I watched the event listening to the dulcet tones of Peter Oosterhuis, among others. I opened the magazine, and started reading an article about Oosterhuis and the opening picture had him posing as James Bond in a movie’s opening sequence. I looked up from the article and he was sitting directly across from me!    I approached and showed him the article and asked if he would sign the photo. Mr. Oosterhuis asked “Are you keen on golf?” When I responded positively, we spoke for about 10 minutes discussing the fact that both Phil and Tiger had won FedEx events prior to the Tour Championship. He was very gracious and a wonderful storyteller. I was saddened by his battles with dementia and missed him on CBS’s telecasts. 
    • Day 50. Hand path follow through and face control technique work. 🤯 in a good way. 
    • I have been playing the Tour X for several years and find it to be a great ball. I buy them at Golf Galaxy and they often run sales. Was able you buy a box of 48 for $90 after applying a coupon from Dick’s Sporting Goods. I am a big fan!
