Obviously the Tiger vs. Jack discussion materialized, and both sides have merit, but to me, Woods' persona and periods of just utter domination (5 or more tournament wins in a row, 3 separate times) and times that he just destroyed the field and his almost immediate rise to the top of the game upon turning pro makes him the greatest golfer ever in my mind. And the Ruthian recognition he has through out the world as THE golfer gives him a Mt. Rushmore iconicizm in my mind.
