Jack's and Woods' era.

It makes little sense to compare Jack's entire career with Tiger's
since Tiger has only played 11 years. So let's stick to apples vs.
apples and just compare similar time frames.


Some journeyman golfer named Tom
Watson took over the reigns and won 29 tournaments from 1977 to 1984
and seven major titles. He also garnered POY awards from 1977 to
1982.

Yes, and in Watson's era he was a better player than Nicklaus. He
owned Jack. So how can you make the case that Nicklaus was so
dominant?


Name a golfer today who played that well over the last five years.

Tiger Woods?
