Difference between TIGER and RORY

Difference between Tiger and Rory,,
1. Tiger would never blow a lead like Rory did at both the Honda and Dubai
2. Tiger would not have missed the eagle putt Rory had on 18 reg play
3. Rory only wins when he has 5/6/7/8 shot leads
4. Rory thinks he's new tiger but 13 majors shy
5. Tiger clearly has the biggest ego but the career to back it up Rory big ego great game
But no better than Sergio just he's got over the winning line in majors.
On another note Rory's irons nike? Really!!!! look like titliest blades stamped with a swoosh to me.

Tiger has won 14 majors. Rory has won 2.
that makes him 12 shy...

agree with many others that this was a pointless thread.

So you don't care what clubs one of the top golfers in the world uses but feel the need to post incessantly on here telling us all about your choice of clubs and how your custom fitting went and what shafts you got what performances out of and what head you do and don't like the look of.

I've news for you Homer and I'm quite sure the vast majority on here really don't give a stuff what clubs you use but might have a slight interest in what McIlroy has in his bag especially after his much publicised and in some quarters criticised switch to Nike.

I tend to agree in the above.
Im sure there are millions of golfers out there that want to know what clubs McIlroy is using,and
I suspect Nike are hoping that too.
The difference for me between the 2 at the moment is McIlroy is coming back to his best,Tiger
is past his best.
However imo they could both win majors in the future,but I believe Rory is in a better position mentally.
 
Personally I like to see what the tour players are gaming and love the short films where they take a look in the bag rooms and have a rummage through players bags.

And your point is?

VR Pros look pretty similar to every other pure Blade. Just as Tiger's VR Pros look very similar to his Titleists, or even the Mizunos he won The Masters with in 97! Or even Taylormade Blades!

Not keen on Popcorn. Rolling the occasional Jaffa down the theatre was fun though!

Two different golfers; great to have them both - though I'm starting to wonder how much longer Tiger will stay if he doesn't win a Major this year!
 
Only time will tell how Rory turns out, one thing for sure though is that Rory has to be laser focussed on his golf from now on and let others manage his affairs.

Tiger had his Dad to take care of the off-course stuff so Tiger could concentrate wholly on the golf. I think Rory needs to do some of the same, just play golf and let others worry about everything else.
 
At least rory gives an interview after a shocker. Cant help but think that if todays field was about when tiger was winning his majors he wouldn't have got to 14.

And rory only wins with a 5,6,7 shot lead! What a stupid thing to say! He had to get the bloody lead to begin with

Neither Tiger or Rory can hold a candle to the Worlds greatest golfer........Jack Nicklaus.

Really? I'm not gonna get into who's better out of tw and Nicklaus. As that just goes round I circles. But I'm curious how you can claimtw can't hold a candle to him when he has beaten many records and is very close to others. Agree about Rory. Obv a talent. But shouldn't be mentioned in same breather just yet.
 
Depends what is meant by a busted flush.

If it means that he will never win majors at the same rate he did at his peak, I subscribe to that view and will back it with a modest wager.

IF it means he will never win another major, well I think that is much less sure, but possible. Like him or hate him (and I tend towards the latter), TW is the most talented player in the modern game. Now with his bad back, knee and other travails, he has got his game into a state of unreliability now that he has won none of the last 20 majors. But he clearly has the talent to win another one, probably with a combination of wizard short game and force of will. Augusta is probably his best chance, but an Open where he is forced to use a lot of long irons could fit well too.

Agree with this, I love to see whats new and the little additions they make to the bag/clubs. On another forum they do photos from each weeks tournament which i love scrolling through could spend hours just looking at this kind of stuff.

Get to the back of the queue, i'm still waiting for mine!

Lets get this going again....

I think the competition at the top is much greater and tighter now, anyone from 20 guys could and probably will win a major this year. can the same be said for the 90's/00's when tiger was so dominant?? Big fish, little pond springs to mind..

Folk seem to be forgetting that Tiger has not won a major since 2008.
Apart from his last Nicklaus never went more than 3 years without winning a major.

Doon, this is the "Rory's better than Tiger, oh no he isn't" thread..... you're looking for the "Jack's better than Tiger, oh no he isn't" thread.....

Helpfully yours,
