Synopsis

Tiger Woods’ goal is to replace Jack Nicklaus as the best golfer of all-time. Woods vs. Nicklaus reveals the hurdles and milestones he must pass, including the record for most major titles, to become the best ever. Each player’s swings, games, and mental games are compared and rated. The author explores luck’s impact on their records, and then describes what it is like to be a participant in “the arena” on Sunday afternoons in the majors. The Contender Finishes Points system ranks the top 20 players of the Modern Era, and it shows what Woods must do in each major to surpass Nicklaus. You will learn why PGA Tour victories are not relevant to selecting the Best Ever, but why variety, longevity, and consistency in the majors do matter. The many risk factors Woods faces on his quest are evaluated. The author then reveals his six methods for selecting the Best Ever, and his plan for revitalizing the World Golf Hall of Fame. The book features dozens of new stats that show, in so many ways, the true greatness of our rivals, and the author upends conventional wisdom with his ground breaking research throughout the book.
