Re: Hogan - Tiger 1953-2003
I don't agree it's the same, but I do think it is tremendous. I think winning the 4 in a row was an amazing feat. Perhaps the most amazing thing done in professional golf. But there is something different about doing it in one calendar year. You must win four specified tournaments, not just start a streak at one of the tournaments. A calendar slam is harder to win and is has more mystique because it is done within the confines of a defined season that progresses in it's own way. I agree with Tiger when he said, "well, when I look at my coffee table I have all 4 trophies." I just also think doing it in one season would be the greatest thing ever in golf and would outclass his Tiger Slam. I hope he pulls it off, this year or in the future.
