Actually, he's only one of three players to have won three OR MORE majors by age 25. Tiger had won five, a masters, a US Open, one British Open and two PGA Championships by age 25.

Nicklaus had won four by that age. Two Masters, one US Open and one PGA Championship.

The only other player to have won three by age 25 is Raymond Floyd.

Tiger had also won 24 total US PGA Tour events by that age compared to seven by Rory.

I like Rory a lot, but there's no comparison to Tiger or Jack. He doesn't consistently dominate every week like Tiger and Jack did. He is however the youngest person ever to get to three majors. And he is certainly a bright light on the PGA tour.
