I think Rory is more talented but I think Jordan wants it more.
Spieth just gives me that feeling that the only thing he cares about is golf.
I don't think Rory loves the game as much as Jordan.

Of course I could be 100% wrong about that as I have never met either one of them but that's my uneducated perception

The quality number of golfers now is much greater than it was years ago during Jacks era and even when Tiger was winning majors. So, much more difficult to win them. This kid definitely has the game though. Whether he gets to 14 or even 18 remains to be seen, but I think he will win more than Rory but not many more. Rory definitely has the game also.

Tiger inspired both golfers when he was dominating the golf world.....Rory and Jordan have risen above the thousands of golfers that Tiger inspired.....Tiger created the opportunities for the younger generation to excel in the sport...

Well Speith is off to a dam good start - Tiger really on had Phil and lots of guys that came up and then faded...Jordan will have way more competition but he could do it he seems like a champ!

I thought yesterday was a good look at golf's future all those young 25-30 years old clustered at the top of the leader board

I was amazed how many South Africans and Aussie where there at the end of the Tourney the Poa Annua greens must have had something to do with that something for us Degens to remember.

That's right. I just looked it up on Wikipedia. Tiger Woods invented golf.

He has 2 now.
Will play in 38 more majors before he turns 31.
I can see him winning an average of 1 per yr up to 31 no problem.
That would get him around 10. He is going to end up with more majors than tiger.
Already knows how to close out majors. Look at the others that were in contention, they puckered up.
Grace blasts on otb. Dustin 3 putts from 12 feet.

Under for the limit. Spieth needs to hit alot more than 63% of fairways if he wants to keep winning majors. This was not a typical US Open set up, if he continues to hit his drives off the fairway he will not win many more outside The Masters.

If you have confidence in this young man, you can get +3,000 on him to win the Grand Slam this year.

Neither of these two guys come close to the talent Tiger had in his prime. If they were around when Tiger was on top it would have only driven Tiger to play even better.

this is just speculation...my guess is Tiger would have only half the majors he has now..Not that tough to come down the stretch against May, Mediate, and a few of the other no names

Rory is a better player. Jordan is a bad ass, but I would take Rory over. Maybe we are just splitting hairs, but Rory has been solid for longer.

Disagree here.Its all about speculation or opinion. Golfers were just as good during Tigers time. The problem is Tiger never had a true #2 he played against in his prime.
