As far as his talent, I tend to think his 2015 season was an outlier, and going forward, he'll be closer to 2016 than 2015. Which is still really good, but when you're talking about the career slam or getting to a half dozen majors, you're talking about a top 20 golfer of all time. He's definitely top 5 in the world right now, but that's a big jump. There's nothing about his game that is that dominant. It's false that he's the putter in the game, although he's really good. He's really well rounded. But he doesn't approach Tiger or Rory's dominance. And that's the type of talent we're talking about to get to a grand slam.

I agree with you on the talent front for the most part and that's why people have such a hard time believing in his story...in the shadows of Tiger, and the likes of Rory or DJ more recently, his game doesn't really impress or intimidate anyone. I would offer up Gary Player as a potential comp for him though...the guy wasn't physically dominant but racked up 9 majors over a 20 year span and is probably a top 5 all time great. Now I'm not saying Spieth will get to 9 majors, but I think he very well could if he can stay healthy.
