What kind of a list is this?

Where's Gene Sarazen in these discussions?

And none of you have even brought up Babe Didrickson...

It is near impossible to compare eras in any sport. They are both supremely great. Era's can't be compared. Which is why I will always state Otto Graham is the best qb ever...better than Montana, Brady, Manning and whomever else you want to toss up there. He did something no one will ever match. But as far as which is better...Tiger or Jack??...there isn't really a wrong answer.

Gene was an amazing player. Great players aren't always great ballstrikers though. Great players know how to play the game properly.

ok kev - i know sergio can strike it , but how in the world can you put him ahead of numbers 8, 9 , and 10 and where is greg norman he is by far on the list due to the fact that he was the longest/straighest driver in the hisotry of the game

If Sergio had the brain and putting stroke of Tiger...he would have won so many majors by now, its scary.

as far as Greg Norman? F*ck him...choking rat shoulda have won 8-10 majors.

kev i don't disagree on the fact that norman should have won more,but, from a pure ball striking standpoint he has to be on the list

kev - name a longer and straighter driver of the golf ball than Greg Norman

u can't - he will live in infamy because of Larry Mize, Bob Tway - miracle shots that beat him

he totally broke down against faldo in the '96 masters and the '90 british open

but the shot i'll never forget is in the british open playoff against calc - norman drove into a bunker which was in the middle of the fairway and unreachable by anyone all week! - he preceed to make an "x" on the hole !!!!

Norman was a great driver of the golf ball, no question, probably one of the best.

I think it is ironic that you wrote this just after talking about Sergio... talk about a choking rat.
