So, I’ve been a golf fan for years, right? Saw this whole debate blowing up online about Tiger Woods being the GOAT or not. It got me all fired up, ’cause I remember watching him win majors back in the day. Started reading articles and forum posts where folks were arguing like crazy. Some said Jack Nicklaus has more majors, others pointed to Tiger’s dominance in his prime. Felt like digging deeper into this mess.
My digging process kicked off.
First, I grabbed my laptop and opened up some stats websites. Scrolled through Tiger’s career wins—82 PGA Tour victories, man. That’s insane! Then, I compared it to Nicklaus’s 73. But it wasn’t just about numbers; I rewatched old highlights on YouTube. Remember that 1997 Masters? Tiger crushed it by 12 strokes. Pure magic. Kept thinking about how he changed the game, bringing in new fans and all.
Next, I hit up some golf forums to see what real people think. Posted a simple question: “Who says Tiger isn’t the GOAT?” Got bombarded with replies. One dude argued that Nicklaus’s longevity was better, but another countered that Tiger’s impact was bigger. Jotted down key points like this:
- Tiger’s peak — He owned the 2000s, winning four majors in a row. No one else did that.
- Injuries and comebacks — After all those surgeries, he still won the 2019 Masters. Epic.
- Modern competition — Golf’s tougher now with young guns like Rory, but Tiger still stands out.
After that, I sat down and started writing my own take. Typed out a blog post draft, focusing on why this debate heats up now— ’cause Tiger’s legacy feels timeless. Ended it with my raw opinion: Tiger Woods is the GOAT, no question. Shared it with my buddies, and they jumped in with thumbs-ups. Feels good to put this out there and keep the conversation rolling.
