Composing the Perfect Tour Pro

[BJL]

You Decide

Pick one active tour pro in each of the categories to form the perfect modern day golfer:

Driving
Long/Mid Irons
Short Game
Putting
Mental Toughness

Here are my picks:

Driving: Vijay - long and straight
L/M Irons: Sergio
Short Game: Tiger
Putting: Retief (too streaky?)
Mental: Tiger

[Extreme Firepower]

Driving: J.D

L/M Irons: Olly

Short Game: Zac Johnson

Putting: Justin Leonard

Mental: Parnevik..... crazy mental!

[Ajgaguy83]

Driving: Kenny Perry

L/M Irons: Luke Donald

Short Game: Tiger

Putting: Chris Riley

[MrParr1Noid]

Let's see here, this is a tough one. :clapping:

 

Driving: Tiger or ViJay

 

Iron play: Tiger or Vijay

 

Short Game: Tiger, Vijay or Phil

 

Putting: Tiger (in my opinion, Tiger may be the best putter I've ever seen)

 

Mental: Tiger or Vijay (these guys are driven)

[JHR]

Driving: Ernie- I might have said Jim furyk before he got hurt.

 

L/M iron: Sergio

 

Short Game: Phil and I like John Daly's short game.

 

Putting: Tiger - he is so clutch

 

Mental: Tiger - no one is even close

 

This is such a hard one to really complete, you could pick Tiger for every catagory, or Phil or Vijay or Retief. I don't think there is a huge difference in the "big 5" games, but Tiger is got the edge in the mental game.
