There have only been two other golfers in the history of the sport to compare with any kind of a standard in relation to Tiger.....Bobby Jones....Jack the Bear....and the only reason they compare is for the same reason that Tiger excels. It's not his skill level.....golf is like NASCAR.....all have the proverbial "GAME" to be at the level in which they compete...all are "equipped" the same....with a club and a ball.....the difference is that which transcends skill...that thing that rests between his ears...his "BRAIN"....in fact I would place the reason for his success more with his Mother and her teachings of how to mold oneself into the natural surroundings that one encounters throughout life....Tiger has the "perfect" mind of a champion.........just has did Jack....and Bobby. There are "many" that possess his "skills" but there a none thats knowns how to incorporate them into into "W's" more than does Tiger....the only "flaw" in his game.....the flaw that has been the handi-cap of many.....the breakdown of his putting.....as he ages...as happens to most the first thing to suffer is the ability to put the ball into the whole as the pressure of the moment catches up with all......none will argue that when Tiger is putting....there is no one with the ability to defeat him....but with age as with everyone...that which one paid no attention to in "YOUTH" with the chances that youth takes...caution creeps in and rears its ugly head...its just a fact of nature...the more one ages the less chances one takes....it overtakes everyone....even Tiger....if his mental ability can overcome this happening he will be the "greatest" of all time....right now he is the "greatest" of his time......BD
