He is dominating Golf like no player before him. His success rate in majors is over 25% and his PGA tour success rate is over 25%.
No-one in the history of the game was as dominant over a 10 year period.
Nicklaus was great but he never won 6 tournaments in a row(Tiger Woods has done it twice), he never won 4 majors in a row, he never beat his opponents by such big margins, he never won 3 US Amateurs in a row, he never won more than one US Junior. Nicklaus never went a 2 year period winning 20 out of 40 tournaments(Tiger achieved this 1999-2001).
Even Nicklaus conceded that Woods is better: "He is playing a game I'm not familiar with. I'd hate to be young again and compete with him".
I think success ratio is more important than tournaments won. I wonder what Jacks success ratio was after the first 10 years of his career. Probably not anywhere near as good as Tigers.
