Throughout much of the highly-successful golfing career of Jack Nicklaus, many players arrived being touted, ‘the next Nicklaus.’ However, only one player has taken that mantle head-on to move forward the standard set by Nicklaus – Tiger Woods. Woods’ explosive start in competitive golf at an early age propelled him further and faster in many areas over Nicklaus beginning with his junior amateur days. But has Woods succeeded in de-throning Nicklaus?
As both players have repeatedly stated that the standard of greatness in golf revolves largely around performance in the major championships, that will be the focus of this book, but not exclusively. While comparing eras is typically regarded as impossible, the purpose of this book is to quantify and place into perspective these two players’ records in such a way as to add debate to the subject of who the greatest player thus far has been.
Mengenai Pengarang
Since first playing a round of golf in the summer of 1981, the game has been a fixture in Wade’s life. Whether as a player, spectator, or amateur historian, he has followed its history and progression closely over the years.
Upon reading numerous articles, blogs, and discussion boards pertaining to the debate between Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods as golf’s greatest player, Wade began compiling data on both – in singular and comparative descriptions. What first began as a handful of spreadsheets grew into multiple documents followed by supplemental commentary to enrich the debate and add perspective. This book is the formalized result of those efforts.
Wade lives with his wife Jolene in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.
