If he is playing from behind, he isn't playing well

What about all of the players that have won from behind.. They weren't playing well either for the most part ?.. So what your trying to say is, Tiger is a great front runner.. But not a type of player that can hang around a leaderboard for 3 days then win, like the other great players that have..... those are the facts right ?

First person that comes to mind is last years Brittish Open. Adam Scott bogeyed the last 4holez and Ernie posted a number and then watched and wAited for the lead man to collapse. Ernie would have boarded the plane if it were Tiger and not Adam......I'd love to argue with you tonight, but gotta get up early......take care and enjoy the show tomorrow (I know you never miss a chance to watch tiger)

Nobody is doubting how great Tiger was, I'm not arguing he's right behind Jack. Not arguing that it its not a great field either.. But when the Tiger supporters come in here and say he has outdone Jack in everything, I'm going to bring it.. Lets put it this way.. Tiger has not won from behind in a major, if he had, we all would be hearing about it and it would be the greatest thing, just like we hear about it when he is playing well.. But he hasn't been very good when he's not leading in a major, but its no big deal right, ita no big deal because he hasn't done it.. Guarentee it would be a big deal if he was tracking down a major from behind and finishing.

he has outdone jack in everything besides majors. It's not a question, it's a fact. And no, I don't include 2nd place finishes for a record, that's just typical Phil fan kind of talk

Wins....nobody has won more than Tiger, NOBODY. That said, if Tiger does not at least get to 18 majors, Jack remains the best of all time. This is just the way I look at things, no other way makes any sense at all to me

Isn't Sam Snead ahead of Tiger in wins ? I'm not putting anyone ahead of Tiger for 2nd overall though..... If Tiger kicks it in gear for more majors and passes Jack , he will be #1..

Yea, I think Snead has 82 and Tiger is prob around 77 or so PGA tour wins. Close to 100 worldwide wins

yea I guess if your 1 stroke down in the 1st rd you could qualify it as coming from behind..
