Sharpshooter
Midfield
Anyone who thinks Nicklaus was/is a better golfer than Woods is deluded. Woods is the best by an absolute mile...and I don't really like him
18 majors
19 2nd place finishes
56 top 5 finishes
73 top 10 finishes
He may not be as spectacular as Woods in terms of style, but his stats are all there to see.
The recency bias crowd think Alastair Cook was England's best ever batsman (crushed the bbc poll a few months back), World Cup 2018 was the best World Cup ever and Obama was the greatest US president ever. I'm not listening to their opinions very much.
I'm not saying anyone who thinks Tiger is the GOAT is subject to recency bias, there is an argument for him sure (as there is for Nicklaus), but its curious that every recent event gets described as 'the best ever' by some people.
