I don't actually think he is a troll. He just really dislikes TW, and is willfully ignorant about facts in order to back up his worldview.

I'm not even sure what to say to this. Do you know that if you go to pgatour.com you can look up TW finishes year by year? I would suggest doing that. Here is a preview:
TW's top 10 finish % over his whole career is around 75%
TW's top 3 finish % over his whole career is between 40-50%.
So...yeah. Be more wrong.
Thought of something to add. This is just PGA Tour starts. His worldwide numbers would actually bump those %'s up.

Old person history itt. Just because you want really badly for your contemporary's to be the better group doesn't make it so.
Let's do a little exercise. Go through each decade of the modern era of golf and list the "studs" that played in each decade. Those guys that were "tough as nails" because that "had to be to survive."
I'll spare you the work; here are the results: Every decade you will come up with a handful of names of guys who fit your description. All the way, conveniently enough, until the 90's and 00's. Amazingly, that will be the time when players turned soft.
Do you understand what that means?
