Jack certianly owns the records for right now, but it seems a matter of time before Tiger breaks those records.

Save Ben Hogan, I doubt there is anyone in the history of the game that is able to the things with the golf ball that Tiger does.

kev don't forgot snead or nelson

nelson reitred well early in his career and think about how many more majors snead would have won if ben hogan had not recoverd from the car accident

as for a golf swing , none was ever more fluid and picturesque than the slammer , but the others all could get the ball in the hole better than the man from hot springs

I have Snead as #4 on my list of ballstrikers.

Chandler Harper played with both those guys, he used to tell me NO ONE could come close to Hogans ballstriking.

kev - hogan was a better player than snead no question , he out worked snead, no question , he had more heart the snead no question , he was better under the gun no question, but Snead could do things with the golf club that Hogan was not physically capable of doing

I simply have to disagree Marty. I will take the mans word that played side by side against both of them for years.
