Isn't it just Spieth, Eldrick and Nicklaus with 10 PGA Tour wins before age 24?
Tiger is youngest, then Jordan, then Jack.
Whole ton of cattiness on this thread from the girls.

The last 3 posts are spot on. Spieth is not in the same stratosphere as Tiger and Jack. But as ORAggieFan stated, the amount of talent that Spieth is going up against cannot be disregarded. With the last 7 Major winners being first timers, this is arguably the most parity at the top that the PGA Tour has ever experienced.
That's true too. I think random newbies are winning more because there's no Jack or Tiger, but I also think Tiger and Jack would have won less with this current field of players.t - cam said:KC_Ag14 said:

No tiger and no jack opening up a lot of opportunities for average players to win.
Unfortunately I missed that entire time period - by the time I discovered golf he had won his last major and Elin had already served him up a 9 iron and a 9 figure settlement.jj9000 said:
So from 62-100 (38) starts Tiger won (28-9) = 19 times ?
Yep...that's the dominance I remember.
Early-mid Sunday rolling around and not asking who is in the lead...but...asking how much Tiger is leading by.

Closest I've came to seeing it in real time was 2013.
Same here. Didn't get into golf until around 07/08. But didn't really get into it enough to start watching it until a few years later. Wish I would have cared about the game during Tiger's prime. I'm jealous of people who were able to witness that level of dominance.jonj101 said:Unfortunately I missed that entire time period - by the time I discovered golf he had won his last major and Elin had already served him up a 9 iron and a 9 figure settlement.jj9000 said:

Yep - I never touched a club until May of 2010. Been addicted ever since. When I've went back and watched those youtube vids of the tournaments hes won, the US Opens, I think of how crazy it would have been to witness that real time.Wycliffe_03 said:Same here.

I am probably alone, but I hated this stretch. It wasn't very fun watching tiger run away with everything.jj9000 said:

Nah...you're not alone...it's the dynasty vs. parity debate that goes along with all sports.powerbelly51 said:I am probably alone, but I hated this stretch. It wasn't very fun watching tiger run away with everything.jj9000 said:

I think that history of holding the lead after 54 holes in every win just related to majors. He did have some come-from-behind non-major wins.
That said, major or not, his style was usually to slowly strangle the field for 4 days. He wasn't typically the guy that was going to go out and shoot 62 and then hold on, or shoot 62 on Sunday to come from behind and win. He'd grind out steady round after steady round. So at many of those majors, the field was tapped out by the end of Saturday and had no resistance to offer on Sunday.
Well, if "hoggs i poke" means his right hand.khaos288 said:Lot of honesty here.tandy miller said:

Spieth has a 12 year head start on Mickelson as far as winning majors. It's not inconceivable for him to reach double-digit majors and close to 50 wins by the time he's done. He'd be well within the top 10.t - cam said:
Jordan is on Pace for a very solid Phil Mickelson career which would put him among the top 10-12 golfers of all time most likely.
He's a lefty, but no stranger to "the stranger".DadAG10 said:Well, if "hoggs i poke" means his right hand.khaos288 said:Lot of honesty here.tandy miller said:

Really don't think I would go so far as to calling the Dustin Johnson's, Jason Day's, Rory McIlroy's and Jordan Spieth's "average". That would've been better competition for Tiger than the David Duval's and Vijay Singh's he went up against in the early 2000s. Still think he would've dominated, but the depth of top-quality player is better now than it was then.
