Here's your chance people. Is Tiger the "greatest" golfer of all times or would he falter if he played against past greats in their prime. Predictions?
1.) Tiger vs. Jack Nicklaus?
2.) Tiger vs. Ben Hogan?
3.) Tiger vs. Bobby Jones?
4.) Tiger vs. Arnold Palmer?
5.) Tiger vs. Lee Travino?
6.) Tiger vs <Your Favorite>?
 
1) Nicklaus still has the record for majors. Tiger will eventually break that.
2) Hogan was a phenomenal ball striker. Tiger has more game overall as Ben wasn't known as a great putter. For a period of time, Hogan played as well as anybody has ever played but Tiger is doing for a much longer period of time.
3)Too far apart to compare/contrast.
4)Palmer was a very good player but his importance is what he did for the game moreso than what he accomplished as a player. He is typically not in the discussion for best golfer ever.
5)Trevino was good but no Tiger
6)vs. Mickelson. Mickelson is simply the 2nd best player in the world for this era, nothing more, nothing less.

Tiger will go down as the best golfer of all time. He will surpass every record and do so against a much deeper pool of talent than Jack and some others did.
