Jack vs Tiger at the Masters

[TheTrueReview]

An interesting comparison of their first 22 appearances. Uncannily similar except for one stark difference.

The money in all sports is just mind boggling, maybe not just sports either. Wall Street, big business so many other areas.

Interesting comparison though. Hard to argue that they are the 2 best Masters players of all time and probably the 2 best golfers of all time.

I never got to see Jack in his prime but Tiger’s prime was simply amazing to watch. There is still something about Tiger playing that is just electric. I imagine it was similar with Jack. It’s a quality that comes along only so often. They move the needle more than any other 2 or 3 players combined.

I didn’t get to see Arnie in his day. But I understand he had one heck of an adoring army.

The thing about Jack's prime that's so different from Tiger's is you had other players on a regular basis who could/would take Jack on head to head, and you could watch them enjoy playing each other because they were friends off the course and fierce competitors on. With Tiger, it became "Tiger's killing the field again".

Not meaning that negatively towards Tiger, but I did enjoy Jack's days more than Tiger's.

Exactly.

Tiger deserves his due, no question. But Jack's time was better golf to watch for me.
