FrogginBullfish Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Golf Town's website nearly crashed from demand for the red mock shirt he wore on that fateful Sunday. Sold out insanely quick.I've been saying it for a few years now, regardless of whether Tiger beats Nicklaus and Snead's records (much more likely now than when I first said this), no other player has had the level of impact that he has on the game of golf. That's enough for me, with his win totals, to crown him the GOAT by a significant margin.Jack was a hell of a player and great for the game, but his impact pales in comparison to Tiger's, imo.Sent from my Pixel 2 using MyGolfSpy mobile app TR1PTIK, Shankster, GeekingGolf and 3 others 6 Quote DRIVER PXG 0811XF GEN4 (10.5°) FAIRWAY WOODS PXG 0341XF GEN4 (16°) HYBRIDS PXG 0317XF GEN4 (19°), PXG 0317X GEN4 (22°) IRONS PXG 0311T GEN3 (5 - 9) WEDGES TAYLORMADE MG3 (45°, 50°, 55° TW Grind, 60° TW Grind) PUTTER PXG BATTLE READY ONE & DONE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlH Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Love him or hate him, you've got to respect his game and what effect he has on it. On a similar note, his comeback tour is a new Tiger -- same fire and desire, but he's more mellow and fan friendly and peer friendly than he ever was before. It's almost as if it's a conscious effort to repair the damage over the years and secure his legacy beyond his talent....except it's not contrived; it's real.

Tiger brought many to the game from all aspects of life and changed how the game was played. Fitness, distance, mental approach.
