He'd likely have more than 5/42 if there was no Tiger.
And yes, people do talk about Phil as an all-time great. He's got 5 majors and 10 T2s or better. He's considered one of the best short games ever and he's going over 20 years strong on the Tour in the toughest era in golf history.
I think when you adjust for era (the fact that he was stuck with Tiger's era and also the most recent era to boot) he's arguably Top 10 all-time.
