Reading posts on IG stating today’s players at the Presidents Cup hit shots no one of eras past could hit. 🤔 Doesn’t that go both ways?
Since 1980 no one has had a total driving year like Jack Nicklaus
Seves short game is still unmatched after decades of coaching and now tech
Who would you take over Miller or Trevino for an iron game
There’s not a mind better than Hogan or Nicklaus
If numbers/stats/analytics are the be all end all then why is the heavily favored US Team being beaten and why have heavily favored US Teams lost all team events this year and last? Numbers don’t tell the whole story. They only tell what can be measured.
The Presidents Cup and others (Walker, Solheim, and Ryder) have all resulted in the same.
