Will Jordan pass Tiger ?

I'm thinking he can

Just a few weeks ago we had a thread where most observers thought no one in golf has the game, head or heart to even sniff 10 majors.

gotta love the internet!

We talking majors or bagging waffle house waitresses?

NO you didn't!!!

Wondered how long it would take for this thread to start.

Impossible to tell but nobody can deny that he certainly has a hell of a start.

I think he could get to 3 Fedex Cups.

.

Who knows. Let's just enjoy the ride.

Doubtful, simply because he can't maintain this level of putting into his later years and he isn't as talented from tee to green as a lot of the other guys out there.

He's been in contention in other majors. Just sayin

Maybe for majors, no for number of total wins.

I think Jordan "wants it" enough to make great things happen. He obviously has the game to be an all-time player.

I don't follow stats, but tbh I think his driving accuracy is pretty bad for someone as good as he is, though in most majors that doesn't matter anymore.

Tiger is and will remain the undisputed king here. :)

I'm thinking he can

Well that didn't take long.

Can he catch Phil, Watson, Faldo, Player?

Whatever.

JS thanked the 230000 people for giving him playable lies.

He's statistically the best iron player on tour this year. Also how many majors do those "other guys out there" have?

Hard to say

If his luck evens itself out he will lose his card

What?? Perhaps you're trying to make a joke.

Let's not get carried away. This guy in the proshop just tried to tell me that Spieth is better than Tiger and Tiger played against nobodies to get all those wins. I almost asked him if he was drunk. When Spieth gets to about 50 wins, we'll talk.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he won't.

Don't know. But he will definately pass Rory and will also get the grand slamfirst . How's that for hijinks ?

No.

I will go on record and say...NOT CHANCE AT ALL OF WINNING OR EXCEEDING 14 MAJORS.

Jordan is a fantastic person and a great player but he is no where in the ballpark of Woods.

Think of it this way...Hogan won only 9 majors and many of you folks on this site consider him the best ever. Only 4 players ever have double digit majors and one was an amateur (Bobby Jones). Spieth has 3. He is not winning tournaments or majors at a 30% win rate like Tiger.

Not knocking Spieth at all. I think he could end up with 7-8 majors which would be one of the best careers of all-time.

Palmer only won 6.

I think he'll get the grand slam. But when he's in his 30s, there will be guys in their 20s driving it 350 regularly. And perhaps with certain cultural changes in some parts of the world, there will be a pool of 2 billion people playing golf. So what used to be #1 may be #50 someday. Maybe not soon, maybe not ever. But even in first world countries not everyone ever tries Golf, and not just for financial reasons. If that changes, it'll be tougher to win.

I mean, a Chinese golfer 21 yo just finished 3rd. Anybody talking about him?

If he gets to 14

He has a shot ; )

Maybe start this thread again when he gets to 10.

It is all about seizing the moment and taking advantage of the breaks that are given to you. There is no way Spieth will match Tigers win count, but majors, you just never know.

Once Spieth gets a little older and has a family, you never know how that might affect his game.

What specific thing are we talking about as far as passing? If it's related to professional golf, MJ gave up on that long ago.

If he wins 1/2 the majors Tiger did he will be one of the all-time greats. In my mind he will finish his career as a Tom Watson type of player. 8 majors would be a great career.

Well let's see. 3 majors in 5 years (and damn close to 2 more). If he "only" continues that pace he'll have 12 by 39. And most pro golfers have their most productive years from late 20's to mid 30's.

If he doesn't battle a lot of injuries he will surely end up with 15+
