Tiger is fantastic but nonetheless a lengthy way from claiming the title of &quotGreatest That Ever Played The Game&quot. Although I do believe he is much more then on his way to claiming that illustrious title, God prepared. But till then, Slammin’ Sammy Snead is my choose. That is correct, not even Nicklaus.

If you look at the 11 win gap in between Jack’s 70 complete victories and Sam’s 81 and then figure Sam’s complete of 165 victories he claims, no one even arrives close. Sorry Jack. Now figure in the shape of the programs these days, the equipment and the level of competitors and there is no doubt in my thoughts that Sammy is the man. Keep in thoughts, Sam played against, Byron Nelson and Ben Hogan — all born the exact same yr – they had been regarded as the era’s Big Three. Hogan amassed 63 complete wins and Nelson won 52, placing both of them in the leading five of the all time winners checklist. Does anyone really thing that Tiger’s best competitors these days, is going to end up in that illustrious group? I think not.

Statically speaking there is a big gap in between the leading of the all time winners checklist that not even the fantastic Walter Hagen bridges. Hagen, in 7th location with 40 wins, is eleven brief of the 6th placeholder, Billy Casper. Eleven wins is an entire career for even a fantastic player on the tour these days. Again I inquire you to look at the gap in between quantity two on the checklist, Jack Nicklaus and Quantity 1, Sam Snead, eleven wins.

Even if you are the most vehement &quotTigernite&quot or Nicklaus Nut, you have to admit, the actual all time golf elite includes only a very couple of, six to be precise: Sam Snead, Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, Byron Nelson and Billy Casper. And Billy Casper will get my vote for the best player with the minimum recognition, by way.

Now I’m going to really tick you Tigernites off. My money says he never will get there. (However, I’m not betting the really large money) Why? I think he runs out of want. The larger he will get, the closer he will get, the much more he wins, the much more the stress will develop. If he has shown any weakness at all, it is his temper that sometimes will get the best of him. As the pressures mount, and with the glare of the media of these days it will, I think that stress will sooner or later on put on him down. No, I’m not predicting he will go &quotpostal&quot and toss a digital camera in a lake with the proprietor nonetheless attached, but I think the &quotfire in the belly&quot will dime. And if I am correct, it will be a travesty to lose, not the best that ever played, but one of the best, that could have toppled &quotthe&quot Greatest Player That Ever Lived, Sam Snead!

Only time will inform!
