Unfortunately, it’s true when you consider the MSM’s performance on any important issues (e.g., wars, military/government spending, etc.). https://t.co/zwdNzkCm82

The Tiger win % trick. How to respond!
Tiger Woods fans selectively highlight his win percentage during specific stretches when he was at his peak, often using arbitrary event counts that aren't part of any recognized statistical category. This point is completely absurd because a golfer can have a very high win percentage and not win any majors. Did you ever hear a golf pro state that their goal is to have the highest win percentage of all time in order to be known as the GOAT?
Nicklaus did not win his 18 majors over the full span of his 164 major championship appearances, which extended until he was 65. Jack won his 18th major at age 46, in his 97th major start, and by his 74th start, Jack won 16 majors and won his 17th major in his 76th start.
For comparison, Tiger Woods has played in 90 majors as of 2026 and won his 15th major in 75 major starts, which is 1 more than Jack needed to play in to win 16. Looking at Nicklaus’ first 90 starts, ending in 1984, the numbers are striking. Nicklaus recorded 67 top 10 finishes, while Woods has 41. In terms of top 5 finishes, Nicklaus had 55 to Woods' 31. For top 3 finishes, Nicklaus had 45, compared to Woods’ 26. Nicklaus also had 19 runner up finishes, while Woods had 7.

Jack Nicklaus Win Percentage (first 90 majors): 17 ÷ 90 = 18.89%
Tiger Woods Win Percentage (90 majors): 15 ÷ 90 = 16.67%
Tiger missed significant portions of the 2010 and 2011 seasons, and most of 2015 through 2017 due to injuries and surgeries. In professional golf, winning 20% of the time is considered elite. Naturally, the fewer events a player enters, the less opportunity there is for their win percentage to decline. Even the most elite golfers don’t maintain win rates anywhere near 20%, it’s simply a matter of mathematics.
Tiger fans inflate Jack’s major total by counting all the ceremonial starts he played in his 50s and 60s. Then they compare that bloated number to Tiger’s far fewer starts. It’s a simple denominator trick. They pad Jack’s total with decades of ceremonial appearances to make his win percentage look artificially lower. When you compare equal competitive windows, 90 to 90 majors or 378 to 378 total starts, the numbers are already known, which is why they avoid those comparisons.
Jack Nicklaus played in 586 professional events up to the age of 65, many of which are regarded as ceremonial in his later years. By contrast, as of age 49, Tiger Woods has competed in 378 events. While we cannot compare win percentages over 586 events for Tiger, we can assess Jack's performance through his first 378 starts. By the time Nicklaus completed his 378th event in 1981, he had secured 71 victories, including 17 majors, along with 275 top‑10 finishes.
Win Percentage = 71 ÷ 378 = 0.1878 Multiply by 100 → 18.78% So, Jack Nicklaus's win percentage was 18.78% at the end of his 378th event.
Tiger won 82 times in 378 starts. 82 ÷ 378 = 0.2169 Multiply by 100 → 21.69% So, 82 is 21.69% of 378. Differential = 2.91%
2.91% is not enough to override Golf’s Mother record! Also, looking at the same number of majors played in, 90 to 90, Jack has a higher win % in majors, 18.89% to Tiger’s 16.67%. Tiger said “You can win all the tournaments you want, but the majors are what you're remembered for. It's how you're measured as a champion in our sport. The majors are where it's at.”
Ask yourself, if any pro golfer was asked at the beginning of their golfing career, to become known as the greatest golfer all time, which of the following paths would you wish to accomplish for your upcoming career in order to be called the greatest of all time? Either:
A: Have a 21.69 win% in 378 events winning 82 times and end up winning a total of 15 majors & 199 top 10 finishes,
OR,
B: Have a 18.78 win% in 378 events, winning 71 times which includes 17 major championships (which is already 2 more than option A has), having the pinnacle mother record of golf, with 275 top 10 finishes, & go on to win 1 more after that to have 18 major championships?

I'm starting to think that there's something wrong with you How many times am I going to answer this? Unless trying to wear me out .. I'm much more stubborn than you FYI
I'm going to assume good faith and act like you're not reading my responses, I'm going to try this again.
When comparing Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods on a year-for-year and age-for-age basis, it's important to note that Tiger competed in fewer events. He missed significant portions of the 2010 and 2011 seasons, and most of 2015 through 2017 due to injuries and surgeries. In professional golf, winning 20% of the time is considered elite. Naturally, the fewer events a player enters, the less opportunity there is for their win percentage to decline.

It’s a simple denominator trick. They pad Jack’s total with decades of ceremonial appearances to make his win percentage look artificially lower. When you compare equal competitive windows, 96 to 96 majors or 378 to 378 total starts, the numbers are already known, which is why they avoid those comparisons.

Which path would any PGA Pro pick in order to be labeled the Greatest of All Time?

What's your absolute favorite Elvis song? 🎶
49 years ago today, Elvis Presley performed what would be his last concert. His last public performance was his concert at the Indianapolis Market Square Arena to a crowd of nearly 18,000 on June 26, 1977. He opened with "C.C. Rider" & closed the show with "Can't Help Falling In Love." His last rendition of "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" was privately on his piano at Graceland just hours before he died on August 16, 1977.
