Brandel Chamblee claps back at fan claiming Tiger Woods’ inferiority to Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino & more

Tiger Woods recently got Brandel Chamblee on his side when the golf analyst gave it back to a fan. The 82-time PGA Tour winner has been compared to the likes of Lee Trevino, Arnold Palner and others.

Chamblee is a former professional golfer, author and commentator who enjoys sharing his opinions with fans on social media. He currently has 261k followers on his X account where he shares his views and analysis. When a fan tried to bring Woods down with a blatant comparison, Chamblee defended Woods and said in his post on X:

"No, he didn’t, with the exception of Tom Watson, and Watson was certainly not in his prime. When one considers the level of dominance that each of these players had with the equipment and conditions that they had available to them within their eras and then you compare that to Woods in his era there is no question that Tiger Woods was the most dominant and had the highest win percentage of any of them..."

"The Anatomy Of Greatness" author explained that there should be a baseline when it comes to comparing players of different eras. In his statement, he further explained that Bill Felber's book "The Hole Truth" takes a deep dive into each era, including that of Tiger Woods.

According to Chamblee, Felber's book provides a detailed approach through statistical tools such as sabermetrics and standard deviation. According to the popular golf analyst, "It is by far the best book ever written on the subject."

For example, Arnold Palmer has 62 wins in his PGA Tour career, while Woods has 82. On the other hand, On the other hand, Woods also had six wins in one season, but it was not as fast as Palmer's six PGA Tour wins that season. However, both of these golfers are widely regarded as legends of the sport and comparing the two seems pointless.
