Tiger Woods won the AT & T National on Sunday, which means he now has 74 PGA tournament wins. That mark puts Tiger at second place on the all-time list behind Sam Snead. Is he the best golf player of all time?

The flight of his shot into the 18th green was so pure that Tiger Woods immediately started walking and twirled his club, knowing that it effectively wrapped up another win at the AT&T; National. Making it even more special was the sound of thousands of fans at Congressional to see it.

    Are you kidding me? Hands down, Tiger Woods is in a class of his own! He is the BEST golfer. That's like trying to compare MIchael Jordan with other basketball players.

    Dude, chill. We know you're going through a difficult time with you're divorce and all, but not all is lost. After your divorce, your ex-wife will still be your Momma and you'll still be her little mongrel.......schmuck......stick to the story line.

    Tiger will catch and surpass Sam Snead for the number of most PGA Tournament wins. Making him the best all time player.

    I wanted him to win again at least once in case he quits. He did it. Is he the best? It's sports. There is always a new & best winner. At some point he has to retire but it might be a little too soon.

    Yeah Gloria his three wins this year are the most by anyone to date this season, while he will probably never be as good as he was before(his injuries both to his ego and knee) he is still better than most pro golfers and as good if not better than the rest.

    Jack had a wife and kids BEFORE his professional career ever started and
    had many pressures ( not finishing college ,not becoming a pharmacist as planned)
    that Tiger never did. The purses were much smaller and travel was not nearly
    as easy then as it is now. Granted, every athlete from that era had to endure
    all the same things and the athletes of today face their own set of difficulties
    but for those that have ever played the game competitively and attempt to disregard
    these differences as merely " part of it " , I beg to differ. Jack also had to deal with
    sharing the spotlight with Arnie who was adored by millions of fans and that was
    just another thing Jack had to deal with whereas Tiger was the darling of the golf
    scene since his early amateur days.With that said, Tiger has dominated in ways
    Jack never did. Tiger, like Jack , overpowered his opponents early in his career
    and has managed to stay in great shape ( knee,wrist ) for the most part. Jack ,
    on the other hand , thought his way around the course where Tiger tends to
    use his athleticism to get through. Both are great in their own right, and there
    is really no way to determine one over the other. I just feel that Jack had a tougher
    road to reach his pinnacle than did Tiger.

    Tiger Woods started out at 3 years old playing golf. If he's not the greatest,he's very,very close to being one of the greatest golfers in history. Hit that ball Tiger!

    Tiger Woods still has plenty of time to break Sam Snead's all-time winner record. The guy I saw playing in the AT&T; National this past weekend looked like the Tiger of old. I know many people despise him because of his cheating scandal, and granted, he acted like a total pig. However, I've learned to separate a person's public from his personal life. His time away from the PGA definitely slowed him down, and it's taken awhile for him to get his groove back. Now that the old Tiger seems to have returned, I foresee him winning lots more golf tournaments.

    I thought because of the storms they didn't allow spectators? Or a very limited amount. I heard the course was almost unplayable.

    Not until he surpasses Jack on the all time majors win category. that is the true test of a great golfer.

    Considering he has a seven year "headstart" on Snead at this time in Snead's career, the only thing left for Tiger is the Majors' record held by the Golden Bear himself. Jack Knicklaus!

    Different generations make it hard to say he is the best player, no way to let them compete against each other. Unfortunately his character is disappointing; I think the best is someone who has character to go along with his God given athleticism
