Throughout history, we have witnessed many outstanding golfers, but none have been quite like Rory McIlroy.

Watching after his choke ->

[@williamtoso3493]

Rory's the perfect example that you can bring up when talking about the mental part in golf. Surely one of the greatest "what if" of this sport

[@donaldschmidt2990]

That's why Scottie Scheffler may one day be the greatest player. His demeanor and attitude never changes. As Bobby Jones said, "Golf is played on a six inch course. The space between your ears."

[@MarkSmithhhh]

​@donaldschmidt2990 yep i said the same thing...if and its a BIGGGGG if, we will ever see someone as yood as tiger or jack then its going to be someone like that that just goes out and never loses his mental game...koepka is kind of like that in the majors, tho not this year...but there ya go...

[@donaldschmidt2990]

@MarkSmithhhh This comment of yours came out at just the right time. Rory gagged on the final four holes to blow the US Open. Missing short putts that Tiger or Jack would never miss. And neither would he, except for the insane pressure he places on himself. The burden of expectation has become so great that he may never recover from this latest meltdown. A perfect indication of this is how Rory packed up and skipped town with no press conference afterward. It was immature and childish. Especially for someone usually so candid with his thoughts. I'll never forget how, in one instance, Jack was standing over a putt to win a major championship. He was grinning from ear to ear!! Loving the pressure that comes with everything required to win. If Rory had this mindset, his major total would be twice as high. Or higher!! Inner self-control is the greatest gift a golfer can possess. BAR none.

[@ryanu3708]

He’s so damn good he beat the crap out of everyone at the US Open except one guy who played a miracle bunker shot on the last hole.

[@rorybannon]

This guy has a pretty cool name. Seriously though how crazy is it that Rory’s coach as a kid had the last name bannon. No relation btw

[@donaldschmidt2990]

Rory McIlroy is an astonishing talent. That being said, there are others that have exceeded the Irish prodigy. Bobby Jones, Sam Snead, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods stand out above them all. Between them, Jack and Tiger have won a totally of 33 major championships!! Compared to four by McIlroy this far. This total trails such legends as Seve Ballesteros, Nick Faldo, Lee Trevino and Gary Player. Even his win total falls well short of most of these superstars. One of his flaws is an inability to dial in the range of his short irons. Unlike the current worlds best Scottie Scheffler. Golf analyst Brandel Chamblee recently commented on how Scheffler can place shots flag high under every kind of condition. Even when most of them aren't his stock yardage. If there is one player that can surpass all of these men I've named, it's Scheffler. He has cracked the code on every aspect of the game. Including the most important aspect of all. HIS DEMEANOR AND STATE OF MIND NEVER CHANGES. HE KNOWS HOW TO CLOSE, NEARLY EVERY TIME. Scheffler is the best player since Tiger Woods. He may one day be the best of all time.

[@user-oe7yb4tl8s]

He will never surpass tiger nor Nicolas.He just doesn't have the mental game to be the best not to mention he is short of short game touch.

[@donaldschmidt2990]

@user-oe7yb4tl8s It's refreshing to see a player like Rory. He is so honest and candid in everything he does and says. Tiger, to put it bluntly, was a complete jerk!! He is the embodiment of his name. A predatory animal on and off the course. It's also true that nature made him into the phenomenon he is. Focused and driven. Tiger is committed to every shot as if it will be the last one he'll ever hit. ESPECIALLY ON THE GREENS!! There are a number of better ball strikers than Tiger Woods. NO ONE was better on the greens in his prime. This is how he shot the crazy scores he did. The putts from four to ten feet that separate the winner from everyone else!! Tiger at his peak made more putts from that critical distance than anyone in history. In the 2000 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach Tiger put on a four round exhibition such as the word has never seen. He missed ZERO putts in four rounds from four to ten feet. NONE!! Jack was much the same way. His overall game was even steadier, if less spectacular. Rory simply lacks that perpetual iron focus to put him over the top consistently. As Bobby Jones once observed, "Golf is played on a six inch course. The space between your ears."

[@lgood5122]

Lmao. S has a better chance winning the lottery if he wants to beat Tiger in history.

[@Golfguy2769]

This guy is so underrated

[@teetimeHQ]

Thanks for watching!

[@Rocky0Road]

Overrated overhyped

[@brethuffstickler788]

This video is very well made. But I have to be honest, I giggled at the beginning. There may never be another phenomenon like Rory McIlroy again, but there definitely was one before. His name was Tiger Woods.

[@conatswa5042]

This comment gave me chills 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶

[@jasongmur286]

Rors is the best! Oh and first

[@eliasengvall5295]

Never call Rory trash again.

[@JayRo-xp1nt]

Rory is really really good . He’s relevant week on and week out . Putting is an issue . Great long putter but not from 6 ft in . And in big moments . And that is the difference . What the PGA did to him when signing with Liv was sickening . That had to way on him . Made him the scapegoat . I respect him for his strong stance and loyalty to the PGA . And yes the PGA has issues but going to a tour for millions owned by Saudi Arabia is sickening for obvious reasons. Is it all about the money . I guess for some it is . Tiger woods was offered a billion dollars to do what the Shark is doing for Liv . Ambassador and recruiting . He turned it down . Mad respect for that .

[@edge21str]

Rory Chokeilroy

[@benjamincamping8134]

……Yeah he’s above average but like does anyone else feel like he gets a little overhyped?

[@wangshim7409]

Please do Xander Schauffele next

[@teetimeHQ]

Noted.

[@ildblm1507]

Rory's the best.

[@MarkSmithhhh]

Sure hes lost and even choked some majors, and his major count will never be what it "should be" according to some..but if we are talking talent, then theres 0 question of his ability...hes a generational level talent in this game, i dont think thats debatable

[@MrHOMERUNS]

The brown nosing is crazy

[@donaldschmidt2990]

In a further comment, the greatest career record in golf does not belong to Tiger Woods. It belongs to the great Jack Nicklaus. Nicklaus won nearly the same number if tour events as Tiger did. And three more majors!! Jack has eighteen. Tiger has fifteen. That is how that talky will remain. Moreover, Jack finished first or second 37 times in major championships. Fifty-three times, he finished in the top five!! There is a reason why they are called majors. THEY MEAN MORE!! As if that weren't enough, Jack won the grand Slam of majors on the champions tour as well. Tiger trumps Rory. Jack trumps Tiger. Had Tiger won more majors he would eclipse Jack. He didn't. Jack Nicklaus, the all-time king of the tournaments that mattered most.

[@awill3454]

The field was very thin back in Jack’s day. Only a handful of players could make a full time job out of golf and he’d play against part time pros who had another job on the side. Tiger is the GOAT, end of discussion.

[@williamtoso3493]

Tiger v Jack in their prime I'm betting everything I got on Tiger

[@donaldschmidt2990]

@williamtoso3493 I agree, but a career is a sum total of your achievements. Jack performed better overall in major championships than anyone else. His first to last major championship spanned 25 seasons!! Despite the depth of today's tour, there were actually more great players in Jack's time than Tiger's. The 1980 Ryder Cup team was the best of all time. Raymond Floyd, Lee Trevino, Lanny Wadkins, Johnny Miller, Hale Irwin, Tom Watson, and Jack Nicklaus,. To name just seven Hall of Fame players. Gary Player was also dominant in that era. Jack set the bar. They were the Titans. Look out for Scottie Scheffler. He might surpass them both.

[@TheBrindleBoxer]

Tiger's win % absolutely shatters Jack's.

[@donaldschmidt2990]

@TheBrindleBoxer Jack and Tiger both had aspects of their game that separated them from each other. Jack won more majors, while contending in them more than Tiger. Tiger's winning percentage in regular events was higher than Jack's. Jack won the Masters at 46 for a 25 year span in winning majors. Tiger's best golf was mind-blowing. Jack's game rarely fell off the rails. What is galling to me is how underappreciated the third player in this debate is. I am speaking of William Ben Hogan. Ben Hogan won 64 events and nine major championships. Hogan missed three years to World War 2 and a year to his horrific accident. An accident, by the way, far worse than anything Tiger Woods has endured. In a three year stretch before that crash, Hogan won 36 of 99 tournaments he entered!! A percentage far greater than Tiger or Jack. The PGA was in match play, making it harder to win. Hogan also played in the Open championship only once. And winning it!! Neither Jack or Tiger could hold a candle to Hogan as a ball striker. Jack and especially Tiger were phenomenal putters. The Bane of Hogan's game. As his contemporary Claude Harmon observed, "If Hogan could have only putted. He would have made every record in the book look sick." To leave Ben Hogan out of the greatest player debate is a fools game. Tiger was a fabulous player. He was not the only one.
