Tiger dominated for years.. now he's just a good golfer, Rory dominated last year he was the best golfer in the world last year.. now he's one of the worst players I've ever seen.

Now 2013, Phil Mickelson in my opinion is the best player in the world right now.. and winning the Open championship just proves it.

Tiger is more than average and is back to #1 in 2013-

Tiger is having a good season.. Phil is having a "great" season.

He has 3 wins this year including a major and.. he could have easily won the US Open!

And rankings mean nothing in golf Rory is ranked #3 right now.. and he's god awful.. Charles Barkley would probably beat him. Tiger maybe ranked #1,  but as of right now Phil is a better player!

...got slower over the four days, rather than drying out and getting faster as is usual.  He would not admit that it was his fault that his shots kept coming up short.

Somehow Mikkelson figured it out.

easy one to figure out..Tiger does way too much PHILandering.

not a good golfer, a GREAT golfer.

Lefty is one of the GREATS, however, he can make a giant leap into the elite of the elite if he can just win the fuckin US OPEN

Phil's career, while its been impressive, does not catapult him into the top ten golfers whomever lived. We have a tendency to rank the players of today (because we see them and they are fresh in our mind) ahead of the greats of yesterday, many of whom played 50-75 years ago. You can't just look at statistics (i.e. major championships) in a vacuum.  For a variety reasons, some of the greats didn't have the same opportunities to play all the majors. Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, Sam Snead for example rarely competed at the British Open (too costly to travel). Nelson played once, Snead played once (and won), Hogan played once (and won).  Also, these men lost 4 years of the Masters and 3 US Opens due to WWII. Also, players like Gene Sarazen and Walter Hagen for most of their careers, didn't have a Masters tournament to even compete in (wasn't invented). Bobby Jones retired at such a young age, who knows what he could have accomplished.  

he is and will continue to prove it unti lhe retires.

5 time runner up. the one he really should have won was  a few years ago at Winged Foot
