I've said it for a while Tiger is by far the best.
I don't think anyone would disagree with you but some food for thought; I got sent these stats about the Bay Hill tournament.

Over the 4 Rounds of Golf:

13 Players had more Greens in Regulation than Tiger Woods. In fact, Cliff Kresege hit 7 more Greens than Tiger. Cliff who?

18 Players had fewer Putts per Round than Tiger Woods. In fact, Frank Lickliter had 8 less putts than Tiger.

37 Players hit their average Drive farther than Tiger Woods. In fact, Bubba Watson averaged 22 yards more distance off the tee than Tiger.

46 Players hit more Fairways than Tiger Woods. In fact, Brian Gay hit 10 more Fairways than Tiger.

So if you're not in the top ten (thirteen in fact) in any of the key areas of the game how do you get to be Number One in winning tournments? If I could bottle and sell that secret I'd be a rich man.
