major victory in 1963, to the 2000 British Open where he eventually retired. Woods, on the other hand, turned professional in late 1996, which means that he has been playing on the professional tour for barely four years. If Woods shows first-class staying power like his predecessors, as well as revealing to the public his full potential for the game, I would then deem him to be the best golf player ever.Due to the young age and inexperience of Tiger Woods, he has only achieved victory in 26 tournaments, of which four were major championships. This calibre of results is an extreme rarity, but he has still won relatively few tournaments compared to Nicklaus. Jack Nicklaus won an outstanding one hundred tournaments, which included a record eighteen majors. I feel Woods must primarily challenge the multiple records set by “The Golden Bear” if he is to be remembered as the greatest player the world has seen.Tiger Woods certainly has the potential to become the greatest player of all-time. However, it is too early to judge how wide the golfing supremacy of Woods will spread. Any golfing fan who honestly believes that Woods is the greatest player of all-time needs to read about the history of the game as they have prematurely assessed Tiger Woods as the best player ever. Who is to say that Tiger’s golf game won’t decline as fast as it peaked? I definitely think that the golfing fans around the world require a lot more time to decide on the question: Is Tiger Woods the greatest player of all-time? I believe I have made it clear that my opinion is that Tiger Woods is not yet the best player of all-time, but I strongly believe that if Tiger remains as strongly motivated as he currently is, and is faced with exceptional challenging opposition over an extensive period of time, he could eventually become the greatest player of all-time....
