"Because reputation lags achievement, we should expect people to reach the zenith of their reputation well past the zenith of their productive output"

I think we have more good players today [2016] than we've ever had in the game of golf. And I think that's saying a lot because we had a lot of good players when I played. I think you had a bit of a lag in there for a while, that Tiger was just so much better than everybody else that he really didn't put anybody in with him.
