Ok, so Jack has 18 major tournament wins vs. Tiger's 14.

Howeverrrrrr.......

Jack also finished 2nd a whopping total of 19 times in major tournaments.
Greg Norman is 2nd on that list of 2nd place finishes with 8.
Tiger has six 2nd place finishes in major tournaments.

Jack also had to battle some other greats in their own right throughout his career.
Palmer, Watson, Player, Trevino, Ballesteros... and a host of other HOF'ers.

Woods had Mickelson and a bunch of no-names to contend with.
It's only recently that players of the caliber of Rory McIlroy have risen to challenge for the top spot.

Finally... there's the man himself.
Jack conducted himself with class... in and out of the golf course.
Tiger is a self-absorbed, obnoxious, sore loser which is why people love Mickelson more.

In summary...... Tiger isn't fit to carry the Golden Bear's jock.
I don't really know shit about the history of golf, I just figured Tiger was the go-to answer.
