The debate in the world of golf about who is the best golfer will never end, but a few names are mentioned on a daily basis. Among the famous names are Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods, who are often considered the greatest in the sport.
However, analysts have tried to single out only one who they believe is truly the greatest of all time. Gary Player, a man who left a deep mark on the sport, drew a parallel between Nicklaus and Woods.
He believes that Nicklaus' record in major tournaments puts an end to all debates and dilemmas, believing that if Jack Nicklaus followed Tiger's record, he would probably change his philosophy.
However, some also believe that Tiger Woods would have won more majors if he had been healthy throughout his career. With that, it's really hard to make a true judgment about who is the greatest of all time.

Records
During his long career, Jack won as many as 18 Majors, while Tiger won15 Majors.
In terms of PGA Tour victories, Tiger has more - 82, while Jack has 73 victories. It is important to point out that Nicklaus played almost twice as many golf tournaments.
Therefore, it is difficult to make an accurate assessment about who is the greatest.
Be that as it may, both of them left a huge mark in this sport and became role models for many generations.
Fans are now wondering if the 49-year-old golfer will return to the golf courses and try again to be an important figure in the sport. Although it is difficult to expect such a scenario, the very fact that Tiger is coming to the golf courses changes a lot.
