Tiger completed 12 years of professional golf in 2007. Here is how his achievements during his pro-career stack up against those of another legend - Jack Nicklaus.
The objective of this comparison is NOT to prove who is greater. It is only for us to marvel at the similarity of their careers - at least for the first 12 years.
The overall conclusion though is that they have been both equally dominant during their respective careers.
