It is winning with "class". These guys all had and have it.
And that is what Tiger is lacking and why he will never be as great as the above mentioned golfers. Wins only account for so much; win with class and you have truly won!

Do not follow where the path may lead.
Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
