Here's my top ten list of players during Jack's era (Palmer, Player, Trevino, Watson, Miller, Irwin, Ballesteros, Kite, Crenshaw, Weiskopf). I am probably forgetting some, but that is a pretty darn good list. Much of Palmer's career was accomplished before Nicklaus really started winning.

Try to list 10 players that come close to the quality of Jack's list (Mickelson, Els, Goosen, Furyk, Garcia, Scott, Singh, Love, Price, Duval).

I admit is a little unfair, because Jack's competition is from their full career and Tiger's list is mostly active. For example, Adam Scott can turn into a great golfer in the next 5 - 10 years.

I think when you subjectively compare the players, in my opinion, Jack faced better competition from other top players at the majors. Tiger faces more competition from the depth of the field.

BTW...from earlier posts...golf has not really grown significantly since Tiger started playing.
