Oh yeah, Rick. Tiger, the greatest golfer in history? Not yet. He is the finest player in the game today, but he has a long way to go to catch Nicklaus. Johnny Miller was on his way to being the greatest in history, but his putting stroke desserted him. Jack himself was plagued by back & hip injuries that cut years off of his career. I'm not saying that Tiger won't eventually be the best ever, he most likely will, but a lot can happen and if a putting stroke goes awry you are done.

I would love to see the modern players play a tournament with 1968 Wilson Staff or McGregor Tourney Irons, the old Titleist balata balls, Perssimon Staff Power-Bilt woods, the course conditions from back then or conversely seing Snead, Palmer, Hogan, Nicklaus et al in their prime with todays equipment.
