| Tom Watson -vs- Tiger Woods
100 years from now which guy do you think will be remembered as the better golfer? |

| Woods changed the game. Golf in general is different because of Eldrick. Had he kept his "driver" in his bag the discussion of greatest golfer ever would not even exist.

| Crazy thread. Anyone with half a brain chooses Tiger. Tiger has 14 majors vs Watson's 8. No discussion even necessary. That being said, I love Tom Watson. He was my favorite player growing up and I modeled my swing after him. He's one of the all time greats without question. Woods is one of the two best ever to play the game.
A better comparison would be Watson to Arnold Palmer | |

I like Watson a lot too, but it's gotta be Tiger. | |

I have never been more nervous than the last day of the 2010 Open championship, which Watson should have at won at 59 years old. That would have EASILY been the most amazing achievement EVER in golf.
The guy hits is better now than he did when he was 30...well, straighter anyway | |

Posted via VolNation Mobile | Has it ever really been confirmed that Watson is/was an alcoholic? I know he's acknowledged that he either quit or dramatically reduced the amount he drank, but I've never really seen evidence that it rose to the level of being a full blown alcoholic. | |

I do remember hearing that he embarrassed himself at charity functions and such by stumbling all over himself.
He claims to have done it all himself without any AA meetings or counseling. Posted via VolNation Mobile | |
