Damn gotta add Gretzky.

Jack Nicklaus was on young tigers wall for a reason, I think even Tiger has said Jack is goat.
Yeah, Jack is and always will be #1. I'm not sure anyone is going to dominate the way Jack was able too. I'm a huge Tiger fan too.. but I grew up watching Jack and he was an amazing player.. and had personality that Tiger lacks.
This was way more impressive than what Fed did. Fed stayed healthy and just continued to work hard and evolve culminating in him solving Nadal at the Australian.
Tiger was playing like a bum 3-4 years ago and his resurgence last year was amazing. To come back from that to win at the Masters is just amazing from the shell he was previously.
Can we agree the sports Mount Rushmore is:
Tiger, Brady, Jordan and Bradham
This is the truth. Watching him win by 15 freaking strokes in shitty weather was the most amazing domination of competition I have ever seen. So glad I got to watch that live. Even though he had it won going into the final round it was still mesmerizing because everyone else was disintegrating and Tiger was playing in his own vacuum unfazed by anything.Tiger dominated the game more than Jack ever did, despite Jack winning more majors. 2000 US open was the best golf ever played by anyone.
EA executives on the phones as we speak acquiring the Tiger Woods license
This is a little off topic. In Australia, the word Coon is a cheese brand named after the american creator Edward William Coon due to him patented a method, known as the Cooning process for fast maturation of cheese via high temperature and humidity.
So for aussies saying coon, we automatically think of cheese.

Then there's the story of the lunch, which spread throughout the Naval Special Warfare community. Guys still tell it, almost a decade later. Tiger and a group of five or six went to a diner in La Posta. The waitress brought the check and the table went silent, according to two people there that day. Nobody said anything and neither did Tiger, and the other guys sort of looked at one another.
Finally one of the SEALs said, "Separate checks, please."
The waitress walked away.
"We are all baffled," says one SEAL, a veteran of numerous combat deployments. "We are sitting there with Tiger f---ing Woods, who probably makes more than all of us combined in a day. He's shooting our ammo, taking our time. He's a weird f---ing guy. That's weird s---. Something's wrong with you."
Jack finished 2nd 19 times in majors and was top 3 FORTY EIGHT times. Also came from behind to win 8 times. Tiger has certainly had dominating moments but for his career Jack was more dominant.Tiger dominated the game more than Jack ever did, despite Jack winning more majors. 2000 US open was the best golf ever played by anyone.
I'm cringing just imaging how awkward that shit must beJust remember the injuries were very likely self inflicted because he had delusions of becoming a Navy Seal so he put himself through their ridiculous training regime.
This story always makes me laugh:

Dear lord please after that horrible Rory shank.
Counterpoint- plop tiger into the 1960s Augusta course which was 500 yards shorter and I'd think he'd dominate. Conversely, force jack to play on a course 500 yards longer, and I don't think he'd be able to compete.Jack finished 2nd 19 times in majors and was top 3 FORTY EIGHT times.

Tiger's golf at his zenith in the early to mid 2000's was vastly superior to Jack's best golf. And I'd also argue that Tiger's personality has shaped the generation we're seeing much more than Jack's did. Tiger has brought more excitement and emotion to golf than anyone.Yeah, Jack is and always will be #1. I'm not sure anyone is going to dominate the way Jack was able too.

I have tiger woods 14 historic masters edition on ps3 with face mapping tech so my ugly mug is wrapped around the players face like a saw movie.I still play Tiger PGA Tour 12: The Masters on Ps3, and i don't have the DLC's. My favourite Golf game.
Sure put him in the 60's without modern day player conditioning, course maintenance, equipment, and facing better competition, etc... Put young Jack in today's game with modern benefits, etc... I'll take Jack with that switch too.Dear lord please after that horrible Rory shank.

When I get home I'll see if I can Sim a jack vs tiger match play round to see who's really the best.
I'd watch that.I'm surprised history channel didn't already make a show called "Who's The GOAT" where they spend 37 minutes and 23 minutes in commercials hyping a showdown in their state of the art simulator ( 2 years out of date copy of a sports game with a make a player ) to help answer who's the greatest to ever play _______.
I wish Bo never got hurt.Everyone is going to have a different sports Rushmore, but mine would be Federer, Phelps, Jordan, Bo Jackson
who's ths brady fellow and did he kiss his dad on the mouth?Can we agree the sports Mount Rushmore is:
Tiger, Brady, Jordan and Bradham
Yeah Jack was a long hitter for his time. He would just as good today IMO.Devils advocate: A lot of that has to do with increase in the quality of equipment.
Jack finished 2nd 19 times in majors and was top 3 FORTY EIGHT times. Also came from behind to win 8 times. Tiger has certainly had dominating moments but for his career Jack was more dominant.
Other than Phil, who on this list supports that claim?Tiger won against an overall better field a much higher percentage of the time he teed it off, plus his very best is clearly better than Jacks

Yep, the depth today is insane and much deeper than anything Jack ever had to deal with. Realistically, 30-40 guys can win any tournament any given week.How many people in jacks day were capable of winning any given tourney? Nowadays almost anyone in the field can play their brains out and win any given week. It's definitely harder to win nowadays
Don Bradman, Pele, Muhammad Ali, Wayne GretzyEveryone is going to have a different sports Rushmore, but mine would be Federer, Phelps, Jordan, Bo Jackson
