This was never a rivalry. And you totally missed to injuries Tiger has suffered reducing his potential longevity. Other than that Phil is still a legend
Both are legends. If Tiger didn't exist, people would be talking about Phil as the greatest player of the past 30 years without question. But Tiger _does_ exist, and even without matching Jack's 18 Majors, he's still, by far, the greatest this sport has ever seen. No one has ever transcended golf or probably any sport in existence like Tiger has. The athleticism of modern golfers, the huge purses, the massive draw PGA events get, the massive viewership they get, the huge rise in interest that has led to tons of modern PGA players, elevating the sport, is all a result of one completely unique person. Tiger.
There's legends of every sport.... We have people like Ronaldo and Messi in Football, Tiger and Phil in golf, Schumacher and Hamilton in F1, Sir Donald Bradman in cricket... I'm sure there's plenty more people could think of. Us sports fans love a good rivalry, it keeps things interesting.
Not better/higher than Tiger Woods': 15 majors incl 5 masters and 82 PGA tournaments = better than Phil! Phil can't cope with Tiger's success because Phil feels entitled and begrudges Tiger his better/ higher success. @@JakeJarviis
Another thing to mention for Phil, around the time of Tigers injuries in the 2010's Phil was dealing with his wife and mother-in-law having breast cancer. At least to me Phil was the ideal family man while Tiger was the one everyone wanted to be.
I am not, nor will ever be, a Tiger Woods fan...but seriously....it's not a rivalry if you're getting your ass kicked every time you go up against this guy. Phil talked a lot of smack but never managed to beat Tiger one on one when it counted.
Not trying to interrogate ya or anything, just curious if the tiger thing is a culmination of actions or if there was one thing in particular that throws you off with him, anyway at least everyone seems to see that this could hardly ever be considered a rivalry. Have a good one!
@@fletcherfarris4350 My issue with Tiger is this...he is a narcissistic human being who is only good at one thing. However great his talent, he was a jerk to other golfers, to the fans and, more to the point, to his wife.
Rembrandt was only great at one thing. Larry Bird was only great at one thing. Jack Nicholas,... now you can dislike a person for not being engaging or kind to people but their personal behaviors aren't what we appreciate about them.
Tiger and Phil were not rivals when Tiger was in his prime. Tiger stomped the whole world for about 15 years, then he ran into personal problems and Phil got a few wins as a result.
That is one way of looking at it but somebody won those other 45 majors during his 15 years. Since Tiger lived for nothing but golf and was a rather despicable person otherwise...you'd expect that he would have won far more than he did. Tiger is on his last hurrah and Phil has many years of golf left in him.
@@jeffd5310then tiger came back and won the green jacket again proving everyone who doubted him. He proved he was the best ever by far. In every sport there’s one or even 3 guys that are considered goats. In golf it’s easy to know who the goat is. Tiger by far lol.
Rivalry’s are supposed to be balanced. This wasn’t a rivalry. It was the rest of the tour chasing Tiger. The real rivalry was literally Tiger Vs The field
Tigers will always go down in history! Phil has a spot in the books as well but it can’t be compared. The time when tiger was on Top Tier A Game will never be replicated by anyone.
That last round 65 for Phil in the 2023 Masters is the greatest round that nobody saw. I watched the whole broadcast that day and he wasn’t shown until maybe hole 15 or 16.
Great video but there was no rivalry. 15 to 6 sums it up without considering other wins, weeks at World No. 1, money list wins, career earnings, consecutive wins, Player of the Year awards etc. Mickelson never really dominated any season with or without Tiger being around. Also in regards to the longevity, if Tiger did not self inflict those car crash injuries, he probably would have won more too.
Good video, but we have to acknowledge that Tiger missed a lot of Golf due to injury, yes caused by himself. But I would say he basically missed 5 years of his normal golf playing, and that probably stopped him from having at least 90 wins on the PGA and more Majors than Jack. We will never know, but to me, and it is just my opinion, Tiger is the GOAT. We all talk about the PGA, but Tiger is a 41-time European Tour winner as well and is third on the list for the Most Official European Tour wins behind Seve Ballesteros (50) and Bernhard Langer (42). Seve and Bernhard played more European tournaments as well. Tiger also has 3 Japan wins, 2 Asian PGA wins, 3 Australasia wins, plus 21 amateur wins.
Not one mention of all of tigers injuries, hindering him for the vast majority of the second half of his career. Hed have 10 more majors had he been able to stay healthy
Three car accidents wife with a 4 iron and many women other gambling problems .. they both played courses before turning pro that we could only dream of playing ..
Couldn't be more different? To the contrary, there a very few differences between them. Both have genius golf minds. Both are affable personalities with classic swings. Both learned the game in Southern California from their fathers. Whether you learn the game playing on a public course or a private one is of absolutely no consequence.
It’s not as “lopsided” as people think…. They have been paired together on 38 occasions, and Tiger has shot a lower round 19 times, while Phil 15 times and they have tied on four instances. Hence, this shows Tiger has had an upper hand in this head-to-head battle so far.
It’s Tiger. Tiger was never and will never be touched. I knew he’d win another major and did and I believe he will again. He’s a machine and will always compete.
As a casual golf fan throughout the years, I never thought of it as a rivalry, looking at the comments it seems that's the consensus. Good video though, well apart from not mentioning Tiger almost died and that's why he faded off, you kind of made it seem like Tiger just disappeared because he got old 😂
I mean if Phil had the work ethic back then that he has now and that Tiger has had his whole career, Phil would’ve been the greatest golfer of all time, no doubt
Wasn’t exactly brutal. Part of the genesis of LIV is this particular so-called rivalry, because those two did not go head to head nearly enough. So LIV’s idea is to bring the brightest stars to the table, and incite rivalries and have the best routinely playing directly against the best.
Not a fan off either,but people killing Phil,because he dont have the record Tiger does,i serpose Tiger sucks,because Jack has more majors,does that make any sense,a lot better players in majors back in Jacks day,he made one mistake, he's not winning, Tiger had no competition, not his fault,most folded up like a cheap lawn chair,and never won any majors
Was never really a rivalry... Also you forgot to mention Tigers body broke down from many multiple injuries.. The fact Tiger is alive and able to play is a miracle in and of itself...
Phil had a golden opportunity to get to number 1 in the world in 2010 but around the time Tiger declined Phil declined 2010 could of been a great year for phil
So yeah, Tiger was forced to become a golfing robot since he fell out of the womb and he was almost as good a Jack Nicklaus. I suppose if Phil and a host of others were enslaved by their father to become golf robots then there would have probably been a few more tigers but most fathers are not quite that cruel.
Hmmm....it's a MASSIVE stretch to call this a rivalry. Never mind a "brutal" one. Tiger was lightyears ahead of Phil. Tiger's injuries and multiple surgeries are the only reason Phil could just about have his fingertips on Tiger's coattails.
If Payne Stewart hadn't died, we wouldn't even know who Phil Mickelson is. He got his spot by being the only other decently marketable person in the game at the time and that was largely only because he was left-handed. Who were the other choices? Hal Sutton, Stewart Cink, Robert Allenby, Justin Leonard... So many great, but also really boring players that just didn't have the capability to pull new people into the sport. So they pick the young lefty who makes a lot of really dumb decisions around the golf course and doesn't win much, but hey, he makes for good TV. I mean, how contrived is it when you try to build up one of the worst short putters in the history of the game as a "short game wizard"? Is putting not part of the short game?
Tiger never came from rags. LMAO. He grew up in a comfortable two parent household and never went without. Stop with the poor kid from the streets act. Both are great players that never really had much of a rivalry because Tiger dominated Phil in most tournaments.
I really feel for Phil I mean if it wasn't for Tiger he'd have a 250ft super yacht instead of only a 200 footer😢 .. I could picture him sitting in his mansion crying if I knew which 1 hes in at the moment.... Florida L.A Hawaii Aspen St Bartz Monaco or the Vineyard in Italy.. well wherever U r Phil keep ya head up buddy oohh wait what am.i talking about he's probably in Vegas or on his way there in his Gulfstream G8
I’m enjoying watching Scottie Scheffler dominate real professional golf right now. The 54 hole exhibition version of “golf” that LIV offers is a sad example of the sport we know and love.

Phil winning the PGA Championship in 21 was big but its a fart compared to Tigers Masters 19 win. I know it was big that it made Phil the oldest major winner, but all players are playing well into later years now. When Tiger won in 19, nobody thought it ever could ever happen.
People killing Phil,all say how great Couples is,not even twenty wins and one major in thirty yrs,John Daly has more majors,and was drunk half the time, Fred was lucky to win his one major,go over the film,every ball that wk,rolled into Rays creek,he got lucky
Mickelson didn't win his first Major till 2004. By that time Tiger was so far ahead it wasn't even close. Also Phil could never win a US Open i remember in 99, 04 and 06 was his best chances. Came 2nd 6 times, he would of completed the career grandslam. So maybe in his later years aged 40-54 he was better than Tiger but not at the age 20-32, No way.
I would’ve had Tigers career any day the only change I would have made you do not get married or be faithful to my wife And maybe not done the navy seal stuff

Brutal? What rivalry? Tiger has always beat him. Look at the records, at the mayors, at their income, at their trophies….
Not always, Phil did beat him a couple of times. But Tiger owns the rivalry hands down.
19-15-4 head to head Tiger holds the advantage
Majors 15 to 6
It’s equivalent to Sampras/Aggassi

Phil is an all time great. Top 10 or 12. It'd be fun to see him on the senior tour. That's why Jack is the goat. He did it into his 50s on Senior Tour
He started slipping when his mistresses got revealed and the crash was merely his Charlie Sheen moment to my recollection.
I feel like you are a huge phill fan
Love Phil, and he's a top 10 player ever for sure. Crazy how dominant Tiger was over a player that good still. Easily the goat
