Classic Jim goal post moving

 

Tiger is indeed a once in 100 years golf talent, the peak talent measurements prove this because nobody's peak, not even Jack's, compares to Tiger's when you consider the proper context and priors.

 

Also, it doesn't even matter. You'll cling to the meaningless throwaway analogy like "1 in 100 years talent" because you have nothing else to offer because your initial idea, that Steve Shuffler is almost Tiger Woods, is supa dum. Tiger could = Jack and Steve Shuffler would still need to shove for years to even be considered in their company.

 

Hilarious. You moved that goalposts. First you said Tiger was a 1 in 100 year athlete, now you say Tiger's peak was 1 in 100 year. Which is probably correct.

How can you go through life with no honour?

 

It's the same statement. A 1 in 100 year peak makes someone a 1 in 100 year athlete, absolutely and necessarily. The person is generationally good at the sport and that's the point.

If scheffler is 75% of Tiger's peak at present, and clearly improving and separating from the pack, with the only real difference being putting, which is very volatile, then yes he's not far off and let's see how the other majors go this year. Performance in the majors is the real measuring stick.

Again, just a horrible misunderstanding of statistics. Players probably flirt with being something like "75% of Tiger's peak" every decade or so. Maybe even more frequently. That doesn't mean they are close at all. The gap between them and Tiger might actually be as big as the gap between them and an amateur, all things considered.

 

Study the normal distribution

Scottie has another chance to win today, man if he wins this week that's an all time run he's on. Probably the closest we've gotten to peak Tiger.

 

Remains to be seen if he could continue this pace as the field is so so good now, but really fun to watch. He's also going to have a kid soon, and doesn't really seem like that Tiger/MJ type of personality in terms of wanting to be the greatest ever, but its tough not rooting for the guy.

Wow Scheffler, what an idiot

Yeah he didn't follow police instructions and dragged an officer with his car lol

Where are you getting this info Jim? All I've heard is the complete opposite.

[P2F]

Happy for Xander, but it sucks when you had money on the other guys (Bryson and Hovland).

[Brownie19]

It was special to see a couple of Canadian boys at the top of the leaderboard yesterday. B2B Canadian winners would have been incredible, but it wasn't meant to be. If that wasn't going to happen, then I'm sure glad Robert MacIntyre won with his dad carrying his bag for the first time in his career. Pretty magically stuff.

@BTS @Laika would one of you be so kind as to move all the sports threads in this forum over to the Other Sports forum, please? Golf, NHL, NBA, NFL, Boxing, Tennis, NCAA Hoops, Kentucky Derby, MLS/Soccer, CFL, MMA, NCAA Football.

There are some others, but these appear to be the most important.

Or just give me mod privileges for about three hours so I can go on an organization spree and then relinquish the powers.

[Spanky99]

Yeah, LETS GO IRISH!!!

The eagle chip was sublime.

What is this TGL golf? So they play virtual for the first half of the hole and then play the green?
