I would say Rory is more likely but the course can destroy him at times.

Tiger is the opposite, it’s not the course but his driving that destroys him.

Rory probably more likely to win one of the other 3 majors. Although their records in them last year were comparable.

I reckon it would be more likely that woods wins another and whilst Rory won't complete the slam.

'the course destroys him'

Jeez what utter tripe.

He's finished top 10 the last 4 years.

He might not win, but he's going to have another 10 chances so maybe let's not judge him on one average round?!
Are you into snooker or know much about it? Jimmy White was one of the most talented players to have graced the game, and had an incredible record at The Crucible, but he never won there. Would you not agree that there was a mental block there for him?

The word 'destroyed' may be a slight exaggeration, but the fact that such talented guys can usually perform so well at certain venues without pushing themselves over that finish line, indicates to me a mental problem that can get even worse as the near misses continue.

Montgomerie was another. Winner of so much and one of the best to ever play the game, but when the tournament was classed as a major he just froze mentally.

Does Augusta National have that effect on Rory? I think it's a theory worth discussing. You pointing out how many top 10 finishes he has had there for example, just kind of reinforces this theory.

Tigers 43, how many years has he got left? with realistic chances - 2 or 3? Rorys 29?, how many years has he got left? 15?

how do the odds look now if Tiger doesnt win tonight?

People still think Mickelson has a chance in most of the majors he plays in atm. I'd say if woods back holds up then he could feature for 5 years. That's 20 majors. Let's say Rory plays for another 20 years. That's 20 masters.

I'd say odds pretty even regarding op.

Woods has probably. Got another 15 majors in him.
Roughly the same amount of masters as Rory has don’t you think?

he may play 15 more majors, not sure he'll be competitive for that many personally, his bodys been through a lot, will be a few courses esp US Open and maybe PGA that hes not competitive at too. hope youre right tbh, was just pointing out its not slanted heavily the other way as implied by the 4 to 1

Rory kind of proving my point today regarding his mental block

Pressure is off today as he can’t win

-3 so far
