Could well be but that isn't the argument. There are other very good players out there but when then play Tiger they choke. It's not Tiger shooting 20 under to beat their 19 under. It's him just playing par and them going +5, +6, +7. Heck he does not even have to produce good golf to beat them as they beat themselves. How many times has he just managed his way around and waited for the inevitable choke job?
Meanwhile Nicklaus would be battling some guy who was firing birdies at him hole after hole. Watson in the 77 Masters zipped four stinkin birdies in the last six holes to beat Nicklaus.
What would be the equivalent of that today?
No doubt Woods is a great player but where is his Watson?
