Golf: Woods vs. Mickelson
Tiger woods are considered one of the paramount golfers, holds some reputable golf records, is ranked second in men’s major championship, and has tied first in the PGA tour wins. Tiger has a tough contender, Phil Mickelson, who hold good titles in the golf sport. Phil has won 44 major PGA events tour, which encompasses five championships; he holds three master titles, which occurred (2004, 2006. 2010), 2013 open championship, and 2005 PGA championship.
Both Tiger and Phil have a significant portfolio and are regarded as back to back contenders. We can only be able to differentiate based on individual performance. By drawing this observation, we confidently suggest who is the best between the two.
Who is the best?
A conclusion can only be made after evaluating their performances where on the ground, Tiger seems to dominate the world number 2 spot for a while now. As you dig deeper into their performances, they arise some other new stories. For instance, in Tiger’s three wins, Phil was not seen in the field at all. Also, in Phil’s two wins, one happened without Tiger in the field and another when he as there.
During the PGA Tour hosted by WGC with one of the top fields of all year at Doral, there was only the Players championship and the four majors. During this tour, Mickelson outshined Woods by eight strokes that week as he shut the dream of Tiger on clinging on world number one spot.
When you do a close analysis of their performance in their first two majors, again, Phil wins being in fifth place in the masters and second place in the U.S open championship. At the same time, Tiger finishes sixth in both championships.
So far this year, Tiger has won three times, and it is observable that in the last year the U.S opens, he proved he could brat the field with one leg, but post-surgery. Tiger won’t be able to contend with other top world players in the top event in any time soon.
The three Tigers wins came from Jack’s and Arnie’s place, and the other one at his tournament where the field was poor and below par. Phil recorded his first win this year during his tournament, where it was attended by only 10 of the 25 players in the world. The filed there at jack’s tournament at Bay Hill was comparable to that of Riviera.
As Tiger struggles to keep his top form in the field, his contender Phil is attending his wife’s sickness. We can only anticipate watching them the coming month, where the PGA Championship will be hosted at Hazeltine, and the battlefield will be left for the two bulls.
It is an interesting comparison between the lefty and woods. We can draw a definite conclusion by looking at the achievements they have attained and maintained their winning streak in all competitions where both of the players must be present to keep the competition fair for all.
