Please. If that's the best argument against Tiger being considered the greatest of all time, I'm confident there's not a legitimate one.

Wow how did you extrapolate that out of the post? The players he is playing against have technical skill but no cajones. He has both. Nicklaus had both and played against guys who had both.
Very solid argument actually and one that is often made as in where is his chief competitor. You can't name him because he does not exist. Is he that far above them skill wise? I don't think so. But he is mentally strong and they are weak. The same wasn't true in Jack's day and he didn't finish second a lot because he played poorly but because there were guys who could go toe to toe with him and not flinch.
