spiettth: masters + uso + british

rory: uso + british + 2 pga

assuming all else is equal (equal prize money, other titles, etc) over your career, which set of majors would you rather have?

would you trade 2 pga's for a green jacket? i think i would. i dont think 3 vs. 4 majors changes your place in history. is els necessarily better than vijay simply bc els won 4 majors and vijay won 3?

i think it's a fairly easy decision to take the green jacket and give up the pga's.

honestly, yes, i would make that trade.

Rory will always be asked about the Masters. Spieth will NEVER be asked about the PGA. And the perks at the Masters are 2nd to none.

golf majors are random enough that there is not necessarily a high likelihood of winning a green jacket in the future. it's not like tennis where the Big 3 got to major finals often enough that there was a good chance the missing major would eventually fall their way.

How much work is the "different majors" doing here?

I presume you'd trade 2 PGA for 1 Masters straight up, yes? Would you trade 2 USO or Opens for 1 Masters? Or does the low number of Majors make the second way more significant?

depends on the overall number of majors. i think USO and the british open are both prestigious, and it's generally not worth giving up a major to get a green jacket.

the only way i'd give up a USO or a british for a masters is if i'm in the elite range with maybe 7+ majors where it wont hurt if you drop one. if you're nowhere near tiger jack, who you might as well drop one to get a green jacket.

yes i agree with that.

i was specifically asking in the context of having only the two of one major, but agreed that i wouldn't trade 2 British for a Masters.

I *might* trade 2 USO for a Masters in the situation where my career stalled out, assuming same career prize money to that point. My rationale being that I could play the Masters every year and making some cuts would get me some nice extra cash. But probably not.

We've talked about this. No it's not less, but I think you'd prefer more of the other majors. You don't really need more than 1 AO.

And I definitely ding Emerson Djoker and Agassi because of their AO heavy resumes. In the case of Agassi and Djoker the fact that they have the career grand slam cures a lot of ills. If they didn't - say if Djoker never won an RG - I'd 100% rank him below Borg

i'm not dinging him compared to like Becker. I'm dinging him compared to guys in the 10-14 range.

now, he compares favorably to those players because of the career grand slam. but if we assume no career grand slam he absolutely has too many majors at the weakest event.

with no RG, you want a resume more like Pete -- dominating W/USO, with an AO or 2 just to have them.

you think pete gives a fuck about his second AO? you think he wouldn't trade it in a second for ANY of the other three majors?

you think agassi wouldn't trade 2 AOs for an extra RG and Wimby or for 2 more USO?

it was always less than the US open but otherwise it wasnt always less desirable.

shit changes. top players skipped the british all the time, even a few in the past couple decades.

the complete reverence for the masters by players is pretty new. before the billy payne era augusta got criticized all the time. look back to when they changed the greens to bent and doods were brutal that year. jack nicklaus still says the masters is actually lesser than the other majors because of the small field and says its not a true "championship"

excellent poast. it's always been my belief that the us open was considered the most prestigious/desirable/toughest-to-win american tournament until some pt in the 90s. the masters just started getting ncaa tourney level media treatment from cbs, then niger in '97, then espsn glomed onto it.

the british has insane history, a storied trophy, and links golf is subjectively 180, but it just isn't cherished anymore

agreed, though i still think the perks for winning the US Open as compared to the others are much better.

Michael Campbell (2005 champ) hasn't played the USO since 2013. Meanwhile Ben Curtis can play the Open for another 19 years. So can Shaun Micheel at the PGA. You make a few cuts and that can be some nice cash, and it's probably fun to be an auto-entry at those tournaments every year.

just about every player with 4+ majors in the modern era is mentioned more often than trevino. when is the last time trevino was mentioned during a major?

he's probably known more for lee trevino's fighting golf for NES

No way Nick Price is more famous than Trevino, even if just because of the cameos in Happy Gilmore.

You're right. 5 is a bigger leap from 4 than 4 from 3. Fuck. Ok, I guess I'd take 5 with no masters one 4 with a masters. Dammit.

Stupid name, no cool schtick or history like the others, and nobody fucking cares about it. Objectively it may be just as prestigious as the others but perceptually not even close. It's like the Australian open in tennis, they can call it a major if they want but it's decidedly the shittiest.

while i begrudgingly agree that W is the most prestigious, again it's the combination of a fast surface (W or USO) with RG that is very prestigious.

and USO is without a doubt more prestigious than the AO, and that's doubly true for an American.

so yes the W alone makes it better, but W with RG is the ideal combo. i can't believe you'd disagree with that.

Masha is overshadowed by Serena.

Hingis was the best player of her 5 year era and probably should have won more majors than she did. she also retired in 2003 at age 22. she is better than Masha.

she also has 209 weeks at #1 compared to 21 weeks for Masha

Masha is probably more famous to lay people though

but Hingis would 100000000% trade one of her AO for an RG. i also think a huge knock on Hingis that she has a paltry 2 majors away from Australia. that's pretty bad. but her early retirement undoubtedly cost her a few majors

i just meant that she was a more talented player than her number of majors suggests.

i feel that way about other players too: evert, connors, agassi, borg, seles, lendl to name a few.

Hingis had the game and has the secondary statistics of a player who won more like 7-10 majors.

evert and connors? a somewhat different category. probably won less than they should due to being in tough eras.

it is, but you can't just look at one data point.

Hingis has a lot of other stats that are better than Masha, and that's with her retiring from singles at age 22 as well.

so she's kind of a bad example for the relative prestige of the AO

but even at that, i kind of cringe at the fact that given how good her career was from 16-22 that she has only 2 majors outside of Australia. that's historically bad for a player of her caliber.

----------------------------------------

connors and evert are underrated because they were basically playing 3 majors a year for their whole career -- and only 2 a year because of WTT in some peak years.

Can we revisit the point in this thread regarding the list of players who won 4, 5, and 6 majors?

Here is the list (omitting the really ancient players):

6: Trevino, Faldo

5: Mickelson, Seve, Byron Nelson, Peter Thomson

4: Els, Floyd, McIlroy, Bobby Locke

--------------------------------------------------

Is there really a gigantic difference among this group? I'm not seeing it.

we've talked about how there's more of a tournament hierarchy in tennis as opposed to golf, so i think tournaments won is a better indicator of golf prowess, whereas majors won is better in tennis (at least at the top).

so when comparing these guys, you can kinda rank them by tournaments won and then adjust based on majors.

for payne, 11 wins with 3 of them being majors strikes me as pretty fair. not sure he should have won 5 or 6 majors.

Phil at 43 wins and 5 majors clearly has left some majors on the course. i really view him as an 8 major type player

agree. there's a fundamental difference that seems to get lost comparing the two. tennisers play each other, golfers play the course. you don't play defense against your golf opponent. so coming out on top after 7 rds of a tennis slam just means more than having the lowest 72 hole golf score on a given major course.

idk if there's literally no difference, but there is far less of a difference

also, winning ANY PGA tournament is much more important than winning a tennis tournament. period. i think any win on the PGA tour nets you at least $1M and it also gets you a 2 year exemption on tour. that is HUGE.

i actually wish tennis would do something similar. the PGA tour is much much better run than the ATP tour

how is there any difference if it's the same field? it's all 72-hole medal play on a golf course? majors arent inherently harder, other than the us open in years when they make the course to target an even par winner.

would you want tennis where every tourney is a huge deal? dont we like the shitty 250's to give the n00bs a chance to win something? it's easier for n00bs to win any given golf tourney.

1. they are pretty close, but guys are all trying their absolute best at majors, and the pressure at the Open is different than the pressure at the BMW

2. Guys can't play every tourney. i agree we want lower level guys to succeed. 250s should give them more success. 250 points and a $90k check is like nothing.

2. yes, the prize money is sps. 250 points is reasonable for a small tourney i think. there's 2-3 250's in most weeks, whereas there's only one pga tour event a week. would u want them all rolled to one?

prize money should just be higher such that the top 100 can make a good living, and top 200 can make a living.

the ranking system is basically a card system. if you're top 100, you're getting into main draws at plenty of 250's.
