Phil vs Tiger, Jordan vs Justin

If you had to pick one, who would you rather be? Mickelson or Woods? And as it relates to the more modern era of perceived dominance, Jordan Spieth or Just...

livegolf I'd rather be Phil, just to show off that short game.

Yeah, because Tiger's short game was awful. 🤓

Phil over Tiger, Phil's a gambler, some shady stock deals, too. Tiger- F'U d his whole life. Had a great wife and kids,now he's just a balding ageing golfer.

JT over JS, very close here, seems to me JT can win more consistently, JS has no performance spells. Both are good guys thou.

Wouldn't trade my life for anyone's, but from a golf standpoint it would be Tiger. At a time when things were deemed too competitive to dominate in, he played golf at a level never seen before. After Tom Watson started to fade, pundits and announcers were talking about how the game had become so competitive with all of the young talent that it would be hard for anybody to expect much more than Faldo, Els, and Ballesteros were doing. Then Tiger came along with a very dominant 12 years where he was seemingly always in contention. The two young fellows, Speith and Thomas still have much ahead of them, but lets see if they can stay on the leader-board of majors over a long haul. The year Speith had with 2 wins and 2 seconds in the majors will stand him out even if he never takes another. Michelson has a very impressive record, but I appreciate that he genuinely seems to find enjoyment in his work and life and hope that is reality for him.

I would not like to be either Phil or Tiger, but if we are talking just professional career I would take Tiger in a heartbeat. I certainly would not like to live in his shoes though. By the same token I would not like to live in Phil's shoes either. I like who I am and would not like to be someone else. I think I would take Jordan over Justin but both are good players and seem to be as a nice person on and off the course.

Going from a strictly golf perspective I have to go with Phil for the current longevity of his game compared to Tiger. It's definitely not an easy choice and if asked again I could easily change my mind because it's hard to turn down the level of dominance Tiger had the years he was dominate. However, Phil has been able to remain competitive and relevant in the game he is so passionate about and I think that edges it out for me.

As far as Speith vs Thomas I'm going to go with my gut and choose Speith because I think his game is going to give him the better chance to remain competitive for longer. Thomas swings so hard that it's not hard to imagine him hurting his back or something else that may harm his effectiveness in the future. Hopefully they both stay healthy and competitive for a long time but they are a testimate to how talented the young golfers joining the tour are so who knows who we may be talking about 5 years from now.

I guess I want and will answer this a little differently. I'd rather be Tiger. Because IF I were Tiger I'd still be the greatest golfer on the planet. I'd have had Hank Haney re-tool my swing so as to prevent too much wear and tear because I was swinging too hard. I'd have my creativity to manage damn near any impossible shot and still, would have my fanboys moving obstructions for me. I'd still be one of the best, clutch putters of all time and I'd take all of the above to the bank. Stevie would still be my caddie because I wouldn't put him in precarious positions. And, I sure as shit would still be married to Elin!!!

This was easy-peasy!
