The Golf Blog: Phil Mickelson says Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, Jason Day, Rickie Fowler “not remotely close” to Tiger Woods’ prime
The Golf Blog says: In an interview with Golf Live, Phil Mickelson spoke the truth: “There is nobody in the game that I have seen that is remotely close to the level of performance Tiger was in his prime. Mentally, short game, or ball striking, I don’t think anybody matches him in any of those areas. And Tiger put them all together in one to create a career that is mind-boggling in the game of golf…
“As great as the young players are, the level that I’ve seen out of him, especially when you go back to 2000 at the U.S. Open and his performance when he held all four major championships at once, I think we’re decades away from anybody getting back to that level.”
