Quote:
Equally impressive is his record in all the majors for the 70s, easily the most dominant decade by one golfer in history:
Here's Tiger's 2000s for comparison
Factoring in
a) the swing change years ('03-04)
b) the 2 missed due to the knee
c) the life turmoil around that time
d) his success (Tiger) in other tournaments, as other players were winning more each year than Jack in the 70s per the graphic posted above
and e) the much deeper fields today,
I'd say you could make a pretty good case for Tiger > Jack, or at the very least Tiger = Jack.
With the fields Jack played against, as long as he didn't suck he was gonna finish top-10. Not to take anything away from Jack really because that is a crazy decade of golf
