    What we’ve gotta remember in the Tiger v Jack debate is Jack was a legend in his spare time... he didn’t play anywhere near as many tournaments. The greatest mind of the game and the greatest champion

    I heard a sports writer the other day trying to make the case that Tiger is better than Jack Nicklaus. All I could do is laugh. Let’s look at the facts: 18 Major Victories. 6 Masters, 5 PGAs, 4 US Opens, and 3 Open Championships. He has 19 second place finishes at the major championships. He also played against better competition during his career with worse equipment and on worse manicured golf courses. There is no question Jack is G.O.A.T.!

    Without question the greatest player of all time.

  • @dinomarchioli3650

    The only folks who think TW is better than Jack are those who are under 50 because they never saw anything Jack did. But those old enough to remember both and to have seem both, know Jack hands down is the GOAT, for many reasons, not just the # of majors.

    Being a great golfer like Nicholas is one thing. Being a great human being it's another. Devotion to family and values and morals speaks volumes for Jack Nicklaus. A great golfer a great champion and a super great human being.

    86 Masters everyone watching on Sunday knew where Jack was. When Seve went in the drink and opened the door, everyone, including Norman and Kite knew who was gonna win. Still recall the chills and tears like it was yesterday. The best.

    To this day I continue to get the impression that Jack is the best mind in sports. Not golf, sports.

    Wow, never knew the story of him spending time with his family, over playing in tournaments. Pretty much says it's all right there. Such a great guy

    The greatest pressure putter of all time. When he needed it he got it. A great mind and competitor.

    I missed Jack's peak years but I'm glad I got to see him win his last major. The greatest ever

  • @michaelperry9519

    I'm 39 just getting back into golf after not swinging a club for 8 years, but still remember watching a VHS "Golf My Way"with my Dad before he went and played pennant and how simple he made things. I still hit a 1 wood like a PW. Still hit a fade by aiming down the left and opening up my club face. But still can't understand how he could hit 1 iron like that. He is legend!

    Golfers come and they go and there were many great golfers who made this game what it is today, but to me Mr. Nicklaus is Still The Man.....18 Majors, 19 seconds by one or two stroke, Will stand the test of time...Thanks You Mr. Nicklaus for setting the Bar So High, that Only a Saint would ever Try to take it on....

    Nicklaus was golf's greatest Champion Period!!!! Not just a Maojor tournament champion! He will always be the Greatest Golfer of all Time!

    The greatest sportsman for me, to be at the top for 3 decades is something else and never be repeated. What stands out about Jack isn't his 18 majors, it's how many times he came 2nd and 3rd.....I mean he was in the mix in nearly every major for 30 plus years....just wow!!! Here in the UK in 2000, they had a vote for the greatest sportsman and ali won, for me Jack should have won as he is greatest of all time
