Scottie’s on a great run, but the Tiger comparisons are cherry picked and retarded. Tiger in 2000-01 is a way better run than Scottie will ever have. His 2001 season is overshadowed by 2000, but he played 19 tournaments, won 5, completed the slam, POY, money list winner, had 9 top 10s, 17 top 20s, and a season worst finish of T29.

Addendum: Tiger never had Phil, Vijayjay Els, and other top players playing on another tour. Bryson, Rahm, et all not being in the field for most of his tournaments makes Scottie’s chances much better.
Isn't he beating them in the majors?

Yes, but I would argue that playing LIV has made them worse. Scottie is phenomenal, don’t get me wrong. He’s going to be a top 5 or 10 player of all time unless he falls off the face of the earth like Spieth. That said, he’s not Tiger, and never will be.
I don't think the LIV guys are as sharp in the majors other than Bryson because they play 54 hole clown shows against lesser competition
It's definitely messing up regular wins.
It was the 2nd tier guys like Bob Mays and Chris Demarco who tested Tiger in majors
And Rich Beem and YE s Yang

Just how dominant was Tiger Woods in the World Golf Championships? Think about this.
Of the first 32 individual WGC events played after they were introduced in 1999, Woods won 16 of them. And that doesn’t include his victory alongside David Duval at the 2000 edition of the WGC-World Cup, the tourney in which teams of two represent their country. While that doesn’t count as an official PGA Tour victory, it only adds to his overall resume and that impressive 2000 campaign.
From 1999 to 2009, Tiger won at least one World Golf Championships event every year. Again, that’s not including the win at the World Cup. And in five of those years, he won two. He added another pair of wins in 2013.
Overall, Woods made 44 starts in WGC individual events and won 18 of them, which is absurd. Dustin Johnson sits in second place on the all-time World Golf Championships wins list with six. Nobody else has more than three.
That’s how dominant Tiger Woods was in these high-profile events.

Tiger was a comet! Any side by side comparison even cherry picked is nothing more than clickbait and dumb.
