Tiger's Mt. Rushmore of golf

 

"Snead, Jones, Nicklaus, Me."

 

I will assume that is in reverse order from 4 to 1.

 

Surprised he put Snead above Hogan or Arnold.

 

Should have pulled a trump and said I would just 4 different angles of my own bust up there. BOOM! Lololol.

Unfortunately, there’s only 4 majors a year, and Tiger is going to be 43 in September. He probably needs to win 2 or more next year alone to have a shot at tying or passing Jack.

 

If Tiger can continue playing as well as he did last week for the next 3-4 years, he can do it. The chances that he’ll continue to play that well, plus avoid injuries? The odds are against him at this point. Just think of how huge that hurtle was to win again, let alone win 5 more majors. People are calling his Tour championship win the greatest comeback in sports history. That provides perspective I think.

 

I predict though that if Tiger wins one of the first two majors next year, he’ll win multiple.

My 2 cents. There is no wrong GOAT answer between Tiger and Jack.

It seems obvious to me that Tiger has a very legitimate window to win majors. Health is the immediate question mark. The next is decline, but with today's health and fitness regimens, we're seeing unprecedented longevity in many sports that are more physically demanding than golf. And, of course, we have seen great but still lesser players like Langer and, particularly, Watson make challenges at ages far beyond Tiger's.

 

For the time being, Tiger would appear to have as good of a chance as any player to win each major, and a better chance than all but a handful. I am starting to believe he will get at least one more.

 

I still think he probably falls short of 18.

 

But he was recently installed as the favorite at Augusta. I actually think that, coming off his victory and with his improved driving late in the year, plus of course his history at Augusta, that represents an accurate appraisal. As of this moment, I believe he is the favorite (for what little that means among a strong field) to win the 2019 Masters.

 

I guess I never thought I would consider him a favorite in a major again. That's something all in itself.

Up until this past week i gave Tiger ZERO chance of winning another Major. My reason?

I thought surely Rory, Dustin, JT, Rose, Spieth, etc. at least one of the top 10-15 players in the world would rise to the occasion and deny him the win. The Tour Championship is pretty close to a Major, they couldn’t close the deal. So Tiger may win another Major or two. He won’t pass Jack in my book though, we measure greatness by championships won in all sports. Golf is no different, Jack’s Major record is the GOAT. j m o

 

Until last week you thought he had zero chance? Seriously? That’s doesn’t even make sense. Did you actually watch him the last half of the season?

 

Are people’s memories really so short? My gosh... He was 2nd at the PGA and tied for 6th at the Open and led it briefly with 9 holes to play.

 

He had a very real chance TO WIN TWO THIS YEAR......and that was without everything in his game clicking on 100% yet.

 

If the back stays healthy, and Shawn Foley stays away from him, he’s got at least 8-10 competitive years in him. That’s 30-40 majors. I don’t have a crystal ball, but he definitely will win more majors.....plural.

[aarbro]

In my opinion (whilst being a big Tiger fan), is that he will get to 15, maybe 16. I think total tour wins he will finish with around 86-92.

 

If he gets to 18 and matches Jack, what then? Does Tiger become the best ever by virtue of his additional accolades?

[Shilgy]

"If yes, does he become undisputed GOAT?" How could you answer NO to this question?

 

In that scenario, he would have more majors than Jack (let's say 19) and at current level he would have a minimum of 85 PGA Tour wins. If that's not the GOAT, there never was one.

 

While I agree with you, 4 people have voted No so far. I’d like to know what Tiger would have to do to be the GOAT for those people? 20 majors, 95 wins?

The question was "would he be undisputed goat", correct? Have you been reading wrx posts? I had to say no as there would be posts saying no even if Woods somehow finished 20-100.

100/19.

That’s right, ZERO. Don’t care where he finished the last half of the season he didn’t get a “W” some guy out played him. Is he better than Koepka ? He won TWO Majors, Tiger didn’t. He’s a 42 yr old man with a fused back, prwtty damn hard to win A Major let alone 4-5 more. Not happening, even for the people’s GOAT.

 

Are people’s memories really so short? My gosh... He was 2nd at the PGA and tied for 6th at the Open and led it briefly with 9 holes to play.

[Hawkeye77]

No. But so what if he doesn't? Incredible force and talent and he'll forever be in the conversation as one of the two greatest golfers ever. Not so bad, I guess, unless you love Tiger so much he just HAS to have more validation.

[Pigems]

Tiger can continue to play the Masters until he is what, 60? That’s 17 more majors alone he gets to play in.

[aarbro]

Tiger can continue to play the Masters until he is what, 60? That’s 17 more majors alone he gets to play in.

US Open he has just qualified for next year with his win at East Lake. After that, it's based on future results and/or USGA exemption.

 

Masters he can play until he drops dead, likewise with the PGA Champ. 17 more Open Champs for him though.

He can play in the masters as long as he wishes. Lifetime invite. I imagine He’ll hang it up when he doesn’t feel competitive anymore.

 

At some point he’ll transition to ceremonial starter like jack and Arnie and Gary and the others.

 

I wonder if I’ll be around to see that?

[deadsolid...shank]

I think he'll end up with 90 tour victories and 15 majors.

 

He's already the undisputed GOAT, so no problem there.

 

Undisputed?! You must be new here.

You are correct Sir, Undisputed, as in there is no plausible argument against him being the GOAT. I don’t think 20/100 could be disputed. :)

[deadsolid...shank]

The way he looks right now, if he stays he stays healthy, I think he has a chance

 

If even ties Jack, I might lean his way. If he gets to 19, then no question for me. And that’s a tough admission for a Jack fan.

So if he stays healthy, he’s got a good number of majors left to play. What’s his career winning % in Majors?

14/80 = 17.5%

 

It was 14/52 a decade ago...

I think Dan Jenkins doesn’t have him Top 10.

Dan Jenkins is stuck in the Hogan Zone.

Of course!
