the difference is, jack didnt need his short game he hit the damn greens . . higher GIR than anyone ever . . . faldo said it, look at the multiple major winers, more of them played against jack, he played against more major talent genius type players, hell watson almost won the british against all these current day jokers at 60 . . . come on, tiger plays against a bunch of scared rabbits . . .

There's already a guy who can hit it 400 yards in the 60s search for Mike Austin and you'll know.

Mike hit it 447 yards in the 60s sure he doesn't win everything like Jack does but this guy doesn't need to he already have all the money he needed and wanted back in 1930s mostly long drive gamble money!

"If golf were about hitting fairways," what? Until recently golf WAS about hitting fairways and accuracy was the hardest skill to acquire and the determinant of winning. How did we get to this disconnect where accuracy no longer matters, and you can be "the greatest golfer of all time," and miss half the fairways? Golfers are now "better" iron players because they hit wedges from 1" rough instead of 4 irons from deep rough. Its ML baseball with metal bats and the foul poles moved 50 yards wider.

?! That makes no sense whatsoever.Vijay Singh won 9 times in ONE year and 3 Majors and several other tournaments from 1998 to 2004.Vijay also won the most lucrative event in golf, the Fed Ex Cup and the 10 Million Prize to go with it in 2008. Ernie Els is an amazing golfer and Multi-Major champion as well -- as is Phil Mickelson.Tiger Woods is the one who takes all comers. There are no WHITES ONLY clauses today. Bobby Jones would have had a fit if he'd had to play Vijay--much less Tiger!

this would make a really awesome video... if not for the annoying cartoons....

The field Tiger plays against now is 10x stronger than the players in the 60's and 70's

Everyone talks about Jack and his short game but again Jack's short game was better then 90% of the golfers that ever played the game. He arguably was the greatest clutch putter ever to play the game. If he had all the various wedges and equipment today his short game would have been a lot better. Jack is the greatest player of all time imho. There were better shot makers..

yeah its really hard too believe how far jack hit the ball, I really can't comprehend hitting it 341 with those old clubs and ball, until i watch the most powerful swing in golf and am reminded. Its weird to say anyone could hit it 400 yards even today, but if he could hit it that far then i guess its very probable he could have hit it that far. wow

The USGA went to "chipping areas" instead of thick greenside rough back in 1999. Guess who benefited from that policy? I'll give you 3 guesses and the first 2 don't count.

50-80 yard rollouts don't hurt the PGA! Play a wet course- 265-275 carry- different game!
