Best golfer of all time. He came back from hell to play again, his car accident for all the chops.

I guess you haven't seen Tiger hit errant tee shots. He does it all the time. Heck Nicklaus was more accurate with his driver.

Tiger is always complaining about camera shutter noises, give me a break. Where's his concentration, pretty soon he's going to ask people to stop breathing.

At the British Open in 1953, one of the officials apologized to Ben. The official said, "We shouldn't had a train pass by while you were putting." Hogan said, "What train."

Hogan was the greatest concentrator of the golf game as well.

See my Youtube page dedicated to Hogan, particularly the video titled Hogan & Fr. Keller.

Cheers!

Agreed totally. Tiger will never be as good as Hogan. Tiger was schooled & re-schooled. he misses lotsa fairways, Tiger has a Reverse C. He has had knee problems and that Reverse C will trouble his back. Tiger can putt epecially when it matters most. Hogan did it all on his own.

Tiger is a great putter, not a great ball striker. he misses many fairways, gets in trouble a lot. his strength gets him outta trouble and his putter saves his rear.

Hogan is/was and will always be # 1 . He did it all on his own. Tiger had lessons up the gazoo. schooled and re-schooled. he goes sour on his swing all the time. Just watch how pissed he gets when he blows a sshot.

guys, they never played against each other so nobody knows who is better.

Hello 1totomato I just have to tell you the Tiger IS a graet ball striker trust me on that.He hits it So PUREEEE now stop talking mince and go and watch him on the range and when you see him hit the ball you'll be amazed infact you 1tontomato will be BALLAMAZED..............spaget­ti ballamazed!

[1tontomato]

Tiger is not a great ball striker because his swing is not great, Tiger's swing is good and so is his ball striking. Tiger cannot be compared to Hogan, not even close. Hogan is untouchable, no will ever come close to Hogan. The reason Tiger wins is not because of his ball striking or his mental toughness, Tiger wins because he can putt! Tiger mental toughness and concentration will never be as strong as Hogan's, period.

Something cool about Tiger and Hogan....their clues of technique in equipment. Tiger has his footwork pointed out on the bottom of Nike golf shoes with the horseshoes, and when you take an old Hogan Apex Equalizer wedge and put it at address on a flat surface, hold it at address than take the pressure off the shaft (the pressure holding it in place in a rotational sense) it rolls back on the hosel with the grooves remaining level.Level grooves and shaft rotation in relation to plane(LEARNTRAP)

no solid #2 because #1 is unreachable

Well, it's because he is not actually doing what he is describing in the video when he makes his real swing. You will notice that his hips brace and stay back while his arms move backwards and downwards giving him the great lag. His perception of what he is doing does not match what is actually taking place. This instruction is poison. You will hit weak slices if you spin your body this badly at the beginning of the swing.
