Tiger Woods Vs Phil Mickelson patreon.com/ROLUGolf Two greats go head to head for decades on top of the golf world, but who came out ahead? That my friends, is for you to decide.
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. @@jakejarvis257
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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 ..
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 only was it not a "rivalry" you have to remember that Tiger had all sorts of injuries and foolishly changed his swing several times. He lost anywhere from 6-8 majors and probably more than 18-10 wins because of all of that. Can you imagine Tiger's career if he had left his swing alone from the 2000 era which was the best swing in history and then never been hurt? Holy hell.
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.
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...
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
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
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.
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
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?
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
Nah. the biggest rivalry in golf is greg norman and jack nicklaus. Don't think they ever really played against each other (jack was old and greg was young), but I can tell you Greg hates Jack. Can you guess why? 😊
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’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.
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
woods is shyt he won in the late 90s and early 2000s because he was playing against men in theur 40s. his only competition was phil and sergio, and of course dont forget the unbiased media kissing tigers as s for a paycheck, aka jim nance. i would take phils career any day over shyt woods
I'll never understand this argument, tiger's competition was strong, if tiger didn't take away 14 majors in a decade, there would have been many multi major winners in his time
Stop with the whole,Tiger came from poverty, he's been loaded his whole life,the guy was playing Augusta, Peeble,since he's fifteen,you got 500 to spare !
This wasn’t a rivalry, really. It was Tiger and everybody else.
Phil has won nearly 50 pga tournaments and 6 majors. L comment
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. @@jakejarvis257
and tiger has 82 wins and fifteen of those are majors

Great video man
Great video!
Bro i watched ur first vid when it came out and i thought u had at least a million subs
Same I wish I could make a bet on this channel having at least 100k subs a year from now
These video's are awesome man. Really great quality, it's insane that you only have 948 subscribers. keep up the great work!
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
Or Tiger vs Tiger
You are going to blow up, this and the last video deserve so many more views. Awesome video
Great video, it helps that you sound like the grown up kid from Toy Story 3 as well. Bravo! 🎉
great vid bro its tough making golf interesting and you did it amazingly props to u bro

This is a great video, can't believe you don't have more subs
Thanks man! Glad you liked it!
These guys are both legends. They were so fun to watch. Nicholas/Palmer 2.0.
dude this is high level content. keep it up
Thanks Ryan. 🫡

I mean 50 and 6 majors is a bit more than a few
Like everyone else, i thought u had at least 100k subs. Keep going man !!! The vid was amazing !!!
I can’t just tell this guy is gonna get big
I can’t believe you have less than 1k subs when you should have at least 1million subs

Nice
Golf was much more fun to watch when those two were in their primes.
He started slipping when his mistresses got revealed and the crash was merely his Charlie Sheen moment to my recollection.
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
Phil would have won 10 majors and 70 pga titles if it hadn’t been for woods, love thier rivalry
If it wasn’t for tiger Vijay Phil would of had a rivalry
Phil is that guy who looks better at his mid 50s than 20,30,40
Oh yea Phil ! I remember him ! Nice guy ... you can't compare him to the G.O.A.T
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
You basically skipped Tigers car crash and how bad his injuries are.
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
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.
i mean at the end of the video there you kinda skipped over how tiger snapped his leg in half lmao
gonna be a video in an of itself!
When all of us mortals thought Tiger just defied the laws of physics…
What Scottie is doing right now is what Tiger did for 10 years
No one came close to Tiger until his body broke
I feel like you are a huge phill fan
They simply don’t like each other.
The shared the stage? lol okay buddy
Mickelson is a very sore bitter loser and very envious of Tiger's success.
They call them tiger tees for a reason and not mickelson tees
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...
Never a rivalry, not Phil or any other player can EVER say they were true rivals to TIger, he was alone at the top, period.
110 wins vs 50 something?
Tiger fell off because he got beaten by his wife so badly 😹😹
How are you not going to note that Tiger barely golfs because of injuries?
Back surgery’s and the car crash that almost took his leg? Where that’s in the video
Just rushed a little bit in the end, definitely should have gotten more into it, but also will probably do a whole video just about that.
Tiger runs Golf.
Brutal in the way tiger totally dominated phil yea

Nobody comes close to tiger from 97-09.

Tiger might have more majors but Phil has a great family, healthy life, a long career and a reputation he can be proud of... Tiger can't say that.
Other than his gambling addiction I agree

Bc it wasn’t lmao
I can tell by your voice you didn’t grow up in the 90s. This was definitely NOT a rivalry!!! You are regurgitating someone else’s opinion.
First
What about Tiger and steroids and other illegal drugs?
Tiger's real rival is Tiger the driver, who almost took his life and stole at least 5 years of prime from Tiger and golfer.
PLEASE STOP THIS BS! TIGER HAS NEVER, EVER HAD A RIVAL AND NEVER WILL, INCLUDING JACK AND ARNIE
Yikes
Relax lol just enjoy the video and stop taking a simple title to heart. It’s weird
