Tiger has great control of his shots, mid-irons to the green he is the best. I did see Tiger hit a 2 iron 275 yards from the fairway with great accuracy.

Jack every day. He understood how to shift and sling the club. Tiger wasn't the best technician. If Tiger had kept his amateur swing and stayed out of the gym he would have won 40 majors.

[@generalgrant3189]

You never, EVER saw Nicklaus twirl his club, throw his clubs, swear, throw his club in a lake (Rory), scrape the green with his putter after he missed, kneel down with the theatrics after missing a putt, tomohawk his driver end over over after a bad drive into the gallery (Australia approx. '08), look at his caddie after a bad putt (pres. cup), let out a disgusting verbal outrage after an over the top drive (pebble beach u.s.open 2000 rd. 1), run across the green with the low to high in your face uppercut fist pump with his mouth gaping open, no theatrics after hitting a shot from long rough , and definitely did not cheat and have some complete strangers move a boulder in the way of a shot. (btw how are your backs NOW guys?). Nicklaus - pure class. Tiger always wore red on Sundays , Nicklaus wore yellow sometimes (the different reasons are why Nicklaus is the greatest golfer of all time). Absolute pure CLASS. Shame on you media for kissing Tigers ass for 30 years because he's half black.

Tiger’s swing is prettier. Jack’s swing won 18 majors. I’ll take the 18 Majors thank you. Tiger still rocks though.

[@edwardmollon7635]

The golden Bear has the most powerful swing ever, just imagine him using the clubs of today with the new ball, omg what a site that would be and he also played against the most talented competitors ever by far and still has 19 runner ups i a major with 18 wins and lets not forget his other stats he was incredibly the best we'll ever see, Yiger is a very close second with more wins both GOAT status

[@TheAnswerToIs-uk5fq]

Tiger never had to deal with the competition that Jack had to deal with. Look at some of the legends Jack took down for his 18 wins and compare them against Tiger’s competition. It’s like night and day.

[@lets_go_brandon_lee_6198]

Driver & long irons? Jack all day! Wedges & short irons, Tiger!

[@golfboy488]

O god , Jack every day. His only swing lasted far longer. 18 majors and 19 runner ups. Probably longer than tiger measured with equipment changes. Tiger was a phenomenal talent and in a short period possibly produced the best golf ever. But long run , Jack hands down. At age 58 he was 2 off the lead in the Masters on Sunday heading to 16. Let that sink in.

My Golf Idol, Jack! He was the Tiger of his time! As far as I know, he never went through crazy swing changes and had ONLY one teacher Jack Grout. Btw unlike Tiger, GOLF was not number one in his life, I am gonna guess that it was probably God, Family and then Golf? Tiger will always go down as the only man who came close!

[@rogerdixon1069]

Jack for sure. Watching them side by side makes it obvious. Besides, look at Jack’s tiny persimmon wood head versus the Fred Flintstone-sized club Tiger uses. Jack’s shots HAD to be more pure and crisp. There was no room for error. You can swing today’s clubs blindfolded and not miss. If you ever played with persimmon clubs, you totally know what I’m saying

[@tomtucker5405]

Two different golf mentalities, I go with achievement, and morals!

[@ThePanamaCollection1-lv5po]

Yeah, Tiger's morals cost him big time... reetard

[@thatguythatdoesstuff7448]

Anyone not on a pro tour would take either swing. I'd probably take Tiger's swing because it seems more fundamental to me.

[@jameslong1644]

It's simple Jacks body held up longer and he never changed his swing.

[@Kent-gd9gm]

Jacks ave drive with persimmon woods was 276. With todays equipment he would have averaged 320 and hit gap wedges from 150 instead of 8 irons. Tiger was a better chipper and was like Seve hitting trouble shots. One day AI will produce a virtual match between the two to answer who was better. Tigers win at pebble i think was the most lopsided victory of all time

[@ag358]

Jack won the annual long drive contest at the PGA championship with a 345 yard drive. It was flat ground. in 2017 - 2019 his 345 would've won in those contests. The average drives they recorded in those days was safe drives the rough was taller you couldn't bomb and gouge in jacks day .

[@01Bluefin]

What's the math formula you used for the conversion in yardage from 276 to 320? Thx

[@ag358]

Jacks avg yard of 276 was not an accurate measure of how far he hit his persimmon driver. Jack never hit as far as he could because rough was more penalizing then and bunkers were not maintained as well and sand was different bunker to bunker. He hit a massive 345 yard drive to win the long drive contest on flat ground, they have those contests at the PGA championship every year, jacks drive would've beat the modern drives in 2017, 2019 the winners of those years were less than 345 yards. With no fear of rough and bunkers it is hard to say how far jack could have hit the modern driver and ball it certainly would have been longer than 345 as he could do that with persimmon and those balls.

[@sepetisionelatu5539]

The GOAT in my opinion, Jack BUT if it's Tiger l have no problem with it.

[@jaywatson9493]

Jack's head actually raises in backswing rather than the modern swing of the pros going down

[@zahimiibrahim3602]

Good one, I noticed the same on Greg Norman's swing. Older instruction really stressed the importance of keeping your head still for consistency.

[@arisandrews5672]

I can swing like either it’s the speed that needs to be purchased

[@yardsaleuw3075]

Jack's back is not tore up as bad as Tigers, so I would go with Jack's swing.

[@TheAnswerToIs-uk5fq]

I’m taking Jack over Tiger every day of the week and twice on Sundays. While both Jack and Tiger had raw power, Jack often sacrificed his power for optimal ball position. Power isn’t the whole game. Only part of the game. It’s knowing what situations are best to utilize that power. Otherwise you should look to play your second shot in the best position possible

I always thought tiger had a pretty swing. Always wanted to swing like him. Although I like Mr Jack Nicklaus, Tiger will always be the "GOAT" in my opinion.

[@eazy-e9644]

Tiger is the GOAT 100% Jack was awesome. However when he played there realistically were 5 other golfers that could challenge him. Tiger had at least 50 that challenged him. Not to mention all the courses were lengthened in Tigers day. I know I know the equipment is better as well but ya have to keep it down the middle for quite a bit longer. Greens are faster as well for Tiger

Tough call because there is no wrong answer imo… some mention the injuries but for Tiger golf only played a part of his. He was/is a gym rat type of guy. Jack wasn’t that guy to get to the gym. He still had his own share of them just later in life. I’m gonna say Jacks long game, Tigers approach n scoring swing, Jacks lag putting n Tigers clutch putting.
