Butch Harmon on Sky Television's Golf Night program:
He is the only one who can challenge Tiger Woods in the next four or five years. He's the only one I see of the young players with all the things it takes to get close to Tiger Woods.
Adam Scott is a very talented young player. There is no denying that. But, challenging Tiger??? Let's line up the stats.
Tiger Woods - PGA Tour Career:
Cuts Made: 94%
Major Wins: 13
Tour Wins: 62
Earnings: $77,515,376
Adam Scott - PGA Tour Career (in relation to Woods):
Cuts Made: 80% (-14%)
Major Wins: 0 (-13)
Tour Wins: 5 (-57)
Earnings: $16,390,401 (-$61,124,975)
If Harmon meant that Adam Scott could challenge Tiger Woods in a single tournament, then yes, I'm sure he's very capable of playing with Tiger on a day-to-day basis. But if he wants to challenge Tiger's legacy, well, he's got a long way to go.
I think he should talk to Ian Poulter first.
