Hmm Jordan Spieth is awesome, but that's a tough argument. Sergio won at age 19 on the Euro Tour, finished 2nd at the PGA to Tiger at 19, won twice on tour at age 21.
Mickelson won a tournament as an amateur.
Tiger won 3 consecutive amateur tournaments, turned pro in August 1996, had won twice by October 1996, won the Masters at age 22 (and also became the #1 player on the world) and the US Open at age 24.
Rory McIlroy turned pro at 18 and by the time he was 20 he was ranked in the top 10 in the world and had a number of top 3s and at least one win. Now, at age 24, he has 11 wins and 2 majors, and is ranked #2 in the world and was #1 for a good long while.
One win for Spieth will not put him in these guys ranks. A win coupled with success in majors, plus consistent play and a move up the rankings will. Don't get me wrong, I think the guy is really awesome, he's just got a long way to go until he is mentioned with those others.

I think you've got my Tiger hate pegged appropriately, but I think you miscomprehended my view of the fried chicken comment.
