I agree with you. The king is always defeated. There is a young unknown amateur who will kick Scheffler's ass in about five years time. Scheffler has about five or six more years. Niclaus had seven majors by age 27, 12 by age 33, 14 at age 35. Scheffler has four majors at age 29. |

Time will tell.
No one can be compared to Tiger but Scottie is the closest but has to do it for another 10 years which is unlikely , not sure about Spieth and Thomas comparisons,don't recall them.Spieth and Thomas have been world No.1 for 30 weeks combined , Scottie is 149 weeks and counting. Good to see you still banging the Jack drum Kinsem,Tiger won 7 by age 26 and 14 by age 33.Blatantly obvious injury stopped him reaching 20/25. Scottie has won 10 on trot when holding the 54 hole lead , he needs to reach 37 to overtake the greatest. |

And won his last at 46. Jack won 18 and came second in at least a dozen more.
Scottie isn’t even 30. He should look at David Duval to see how irreversible damage taking a break can do. The fact remains that Tiger didn’t catch big Jack’s total. To say he would have beaten Jack’s haul is pure conjecture, and will always remain so. I had overlooked just how good McIlroy’s record in Majors actually is. More than thirty top ten finishes. That is stupendous consistency. |

I don't play the drums.
 In the ten years 2009-2018 Woods played 28 majors and missed 12 majors. He won zero majors in that run of 28 starts. I assume he was healthy if he started. After his 15th major win in 2019 he started in another 15 majors and did not win. I assume he was healthy in those 28+15 = 43 majors he started but did not win. |

I assume he was healthy in those 28+15 = 43 majors he started but did not win. In total since 2019 he played 20 events ,15 of which were majors as you say.Might have got away with it in past eras but not this one. |

Since Rory suggested to Scheffler he goes to a mallet style putter he has won 16 times in 38 starts , the doubters must be dwindling.Only injury stops his dominance.

Likely tiger was overgolfed as a kid which cost him
in stress injuries on his body as he got older. https://puresportsmed.com/blog/posts/youth-athlete-development-and-overuse-injuries/ .. Of course his dad wouldn't be aware of this and maybe they are still finding out true costs to youngsters in later life. |
