Nope. In 1996 Faldo beat Norman for his 6th major. That era was still in power. Tiger beat them into retirement.Alexis said:Tiger was the Beatles. He came along and changed the the way golf was played. But like the Beatles, he filled a void.
When Tiger was Tiger, he only had to beat Vijay, a sloppy, choking Phil, and a few over the hill guys like Freddy. He was one of the few guys who lived over 300 off the tee. Those guys rolled over at the sight of him. I said no racist crap!
The tour now are all guys who grew up with Tiger. They all hit 3 woods 300 plus now. Tiger was great, one of a kind, when he played. But way more week to week competition now.
Then he had Els, Singh, Mickelson, who knew how to win majors and compete with Tiger. There was a dozen other guys as well.
Now there are three guys and a bunch of Euro trash. Tiger made it look easy, the great ones do. But it wasn't easy. At all -
Rory will definitely get to six. Spieth is a choker but he got his 2nd major before Tiger. People forget that. Then there are the others. It looks like a deep talent pool right now. The only problem is they only play 4 majors a year so there are only so many wins to go around. It's over for Tiger. That's for damn sure, but I won't disagree that he is in another class. The kids are young, though. It will be interesting to see if a dominant golfer emerges from the field. Otherwise, why even play the games?

Jack won his first major in 1962. Tiger in 1997. They don't fall off trees. In between were a shit load of "Next Nicklaus" types that won a major or few.
As great as Tiger was he fell 4 short. He'll probably get the regular won record. 80 wins. His closest won half as many. -

Not the point. I wasn't talking about their ability.ThomasFremont said:
Spieth is already bigger than Phil.RoadDawg55 said:
Disagree. Spieth is going bald at 22. Nobody outside of golf fans are going to jock him.PurpleJ said:Participant is still better than Tiger finished.
But seriously. There a lot of good young golfers out there. Never been a better time to be the director of marketing for the PGA. I don't even play golf (mini golf legend though) and I'm excited to see if there is a legend (or two) out there, but no one has proved it yet. They are young. 2036 will be special.
Rory is from Ireland so he's irrelevant on a major scale.
Tiger made people who weren't fans tune in. Phil was the choke artist who was a "good family man." He was the guy to root for if you hated winners. Doog types love him. No current golfer will be a big as those two.
Phil's a fat old lefty faggot Republican with full blown lupus and man tits. And that was back in 2004 when he was in his "prime". When Tiger's waitress obsession went public, fags flocked to Phil the wholesome family man to clean up the program, almost like a certain AD and Tyrone Willingham.
Spieth is 22 and in just over 2 seasons he already has 2 majors. If he was Tiger good, he'd already have 5. But he's not, and that's why Tiger is the standard.
He'll pass Phil's major total in the next couple of years, well before he's 30.
Best putter in the world. Maybe ever. -
