There is no way in hell he meets both these goals. Or one of them.
It is going to be so hard to win tournaments during his career. The player pool he faces will be much better than the one we saw just 10 years ago.
Also I think his lack of power off the tee (and accuracy) will keep him from reaching legendary status. He's 157th in total driving and his average drive is "only" 287.5
His iron game looks ridiculous though, as does his short game including bunker play and his putting.
Kuchar is known as a short hitter and averages 282 off the tee yet his total driving he's ranked 85th. Jordan's going to have to hit the tee shot a lot longer, a lot straighter, or both. Luckily, Augusta lets you get away with errant tee shots. Bubba completely outclassed him with the driver Sunday.
He's awesome but let's be a bit more realistic. Back when Rory was dominating, his driver was way longer and way more accurate. He definitely appears to be lacking Jordan's WIM though.
I was surprised to see Spieth listed at 6'1" on the PGA sight. On TV I thought he looked about 5'11". Is he really this tall?
