History with Henry Episode 4-Almost GOAT. How Phil's career may have been different without Tiger
from The Tie Podcast · host Henry Shimp
Phil. What a guy. Today we're looking into what his career may have looked had Tiger never come around. Probably would have been more majors, probably would have been the biggest name in the game, probably wins a US Open, etc. First we're going to dive into the numbers and look at how due to Tiger's reign, Phil has the worst stats on converting wins from top 3 finishes in majors of any player to win more than 2 majors. Second, we will talk about how the psychological effect of being number 2 for so long as well as the built up scar tissue from not being able to convert on majors early in your career creates for a ton of mental baggage. And lastly, we will dive into how it is reasonable to assume that Phil's underachievement on the course has led to the LIV tour as this is all too similar to its other major hitter, Greg Norman.Thanks for joining us for another History w Henry episode.
