If ever a player, Who is gonna be the next no.1

[shoesrox7]

i want to enjoy Tiger for as long as he's alive (i feel greatful to live in the same century as him)

but possible #1s for future

philip francis, paul casey, anthony kim

[Omen]

come on you guys this is a no brainer...Tiger will be numero uno for 20 more years...the individual that's going to replace him is none other than his child whom Elin is carrying at the moment.....Not only will they replace him but they will beat all of his records making the top position in golf a family owned business.

 

and the only person who can stop this dynasty is......................................ME :rolleyes:

 

so we are all pretty much screwed....GO TIGER.

[liketogolf]

Tiger will be number one for another 22 years and then his yet to be born son??, will take over the number one spot. :rolleyes:

[thenextnumber1]

I actually honestly think Tigers Kid will be the next number 1 as long as its a male haha. But that is honest now.

The blacks are gona dominate golf, like they dominate nearly every other sport, there mental strentgh and determination and work ethic are twice as good as the whites (im white).

 

Oli Fisher, Rory Mccilroy, Casey, Donald HAHA give me a break!! They have god talent, good swings but nothing in between the 2 ears! They have NO determination, NO mental strength like Woods has! And Woods only has that from his MUM! Buddhism and all that!

 

Im British, and british juniors are over coached and have no mental strentgh. They are basically ALL ADAM SCOTTS! And im 16 and playing full time to be a pro.

 

Tadd Fujikawa, thats who you want to be looking out for! As long as he becomes more focussed on the course and not a Mickelson he will do well!

 

I also think its tough for the americans to have the next number 1 because I think your college system does your talented players more harm than good!

 

Oli Fisher, Mccilroy they both played golf full time from age 16 onwards.

 

If you want to be world number 1 you HAVE to commit to golf 24/7! Forget Woman and Drink until your a millionaire then you can have all the woman and drink you want!

[wwhitehead]

Someone else will be #1 when Tiger decides not to be. Until then, it won't even be close.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Trevor Immelman. He's got a great swing and he's a young player that is clearly getting better.

 

Whoever, the next number 1 is the guys is going to have to possess the MENTALLY TOUGHNESS AND COMPETITIVENESS to WANT TO TAKE ON Tiger and beat him.

[Moneyman]

i think the next number 1's parents are in grade school, all tiger has to do to be number 1 is be alive

[stimpmeter12]

Ricky Fowler. this dude is unreal. three strait 62's in CIF last year

It wasn't three 62s, Im pretty sure he just shot one in the quarter finals for team in lompoc, but he is a very good player (shot 68 at torrey wearing a santa hat). I highly doubt he could be #1 in the world, in my opinion Jamie Lovemark is the next #1. He has beat Phil mickelson in 2 PGA tour tournaments. In the cialis western open he played with phil the final day and beat him, oh and he is the #1 ranked college player in the nation as a freshman.

[soung]

The answer is so obvious!

 

Soungjae Baek! That's me.

 

I know, I know but I'm only 12 years old and my handicap is about 1 or 2. Tiger was a 2-handicapper when he was 11 and scratch at 13.

[sunny007]

Cool!! You won#t be the best if i have anything to do with t !!! Haha!lol

Oh, y don't u know your hdc.

 

But guys, i not really sure an amateur career is not important, ok, it get's u prepared, by competing. However, I believe the next number one will be someone who keeps on improving! Like Justin Rose, every one thought he was gonna be the next big thing, cause of his amateur career, but look what happend, he hasn't even won a PGA tour event yet!

P.s: I do think Rory Mcilroy is looking pretty good!! Played with him before, couple of holes. He beat me by 3 shots!!

[whateverworks]

If he ever decides to play the US Tour Henrick Stenson probably has the best chance. He is the total package brains and all..

[Goldenhawk]

I don't see anybody else than Tiger been number one any time soon, the next number one might still been in college or high school.

 

I agree. Tiger has another 15 years of dominance on the tour. The "Next One" is probably a 5 to 6 year old that has been playing since he was a toddler.........just like Tiger. ;)

[animalistic]

Nobody can predict who can or will be world no.1...simple as that.....whats going to happen in somebodys future?? Who knows?!?!?!

 

All I can say is that of all the Ricky Fowler's and Philip Francis' I have heard of from all the Americans on the board....none of them can match 17 yr old Rory McIlroy. As touched on by a number of people [mainly British and European] in numerous previous posts, this guy is the best talent in the world......

 

And This Is Why: World Amatuer Rankings-Rory McIlroy

 

As far as I can se Jamie Lovemark isNo. 23 and Philip Francis is 159...Not dissing those guys but Rory's just 17 and plays off +6 GUI H'Cap [+8 +9 USGA!??!] so if anybody is gonna be world no.1...!

[Goldenhawk]

Tiger will be number one for another 22 years and then his yet to be born son??, will take over the number one spot. ;)

 

This is suspect. Jack Nicklaus has sons that never became the next one.

[Triple-Double]

Adam Scott without a doubt. He is the most level-headed young guy out there and has the game and obviouly the swing to surpass Tiger. If Adam works on his putting stroke a bit and trusts his intuitive mind to deliver the results, he will beat and be the best.

Agree^^^^^

Well, lets look at it this way, if Tigers first born is a boy,

then I think we have our answer.

One can only imagine the amount of pressure that will be on Tiger's son(s) if he has any, if they decide to seriously persue a career in golf.

[mr ice]

As a fellow swede I pull one for Henrik Stenson. At least he's got the cool for it ;)

That must mean that Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi's kids are going to be No. 1 in Tennis. Look out Roger. And they both have "Tennis Genes". Tiger's kid will only have 1 "golf gene" since I don't believe Elin plays golf.

[phelps22]

I think Stenson can challenge Tiger. His game is not quite there yet, but he seems to improve week by week.

[Dill Pickleson]

whoever the best player is when tiger turns fifty and joins the senior tour, probably someone who isnt born yet, maybe my first child when i morph into earl woods

[Dill Pickleson]

above poster sunny will be number one, until somebody smashes a drive into the back of his head after sonny told him how good he is

[USCcousin1]

Rickie Fowler

[kjgolf54]

On the PGA Tour right now the best shot at #1 is AK

Upcoming Stars:

1. Rory McIlroy--He played like three events and earned enough to get his European tour card

2. Ricky Fowler

3. Sam Alexis Woods--in 20 or so years
