Jack Nicklaus or Tiger Woods? Who among them is the greatest golfer of all time? The question has been lingering in every golf lover’s mind for a long time. Even the experienced Tour players seem not to find an answer to it. Nonetheless, one of the former coaches of the Woods has recently revealed his opinion about the matter, and one can say how the duo’s relationship currently is with his answer. 

The PGA Tour veteran has won more major championships than Woods. In fact, he holds the record of winning the most major events among professional golfers; 18. On the other hand, Woods won more on the PGA Tour, while he won 82, Nicklaus only has 73 under his belt. 

Since one is better than the other in each category, many find it difficult to decide who the greatest golfer is. However, the long-time coach’s recent tweet reveals that he didn’t have any doubts while determining who among them is apt for the title.  

Former Tiger Woods coach has a clear idea of who the G. O. A. T. is 

After he and Butch Harmon separated, Woods started taking swing lessons from another big name in the industry, Hank Haney. From 2004, the pair maintained a good pupil-teacher relationship before ending it over a text message in 2010.

Since the inception of LIV Golf, Haney has been supportive of it and has often used his Twitter profile to indulge in debates regarding it. Notably, he and a former PGA Tour player Colt Knost got into a heated argument, and in the end, the famous golf instructor answered the million-dollar question through a tweet. 

“Only 4 Major tournaments. That’s exactly why people consider Jack the Greatest Golfer ever,” Haney’s tweet, which he wrote as part of his feud with Colt Knost, read. “You can call every other one anything you want but there are 4 majors,” his tweet continued. “And that’s all there ever will be.

Notably, Haney has helped Woods win many titles worldwide. According to a 2022 article from golfchannel.com, the golfer played 93 events from early 2004 to May 10, 2010. And he won 31 PGA Tour events, including six major titles.’

Interestingly, while the entire golf world is contemplating to know who is the ultimate G. O. A. T., the duo doesn’t have any doubt regarding it. While Woods has revealed that he deserves the title, Nicklaus also had a similar reply.
