He played into his 60's! His motivation was the same as everyones! He's out there!

Nothing to motivate Jack was hardly the case.

When Jacks father died in 1970 he dedicated the the next portion of his career to his father.

He then proceded to win 30 tour events including 7 majors the next 5 years.

Easily the best stretch of his career.

comparing the 2 is impossible, both the best of thier time. Will Tiger break Jacks records, no doubt about it. Tiger's play never ceases to amaze me.

lol... i don't think Tiger or Jack ever had a problem with motivation

i don't think anyone that gets to that level lacks motivation
