Every year, we know Tiger Woods will be his dominant self, shattering records and making millions. But we can also safely assume that someone will chime in and compare themselves to Woods. Two years ago, Stephen Ames commented on Woods’ erratic play, only to lose 9&8 to him in match play. Last year, Rory Sabbatini said Woods is more beatable than ever, only to get dismantled on Sunday by Tiger. And now, it’s Ian Poulter’s turn to say something stupid.

“Don’t get me wrong, I really respect every professional golfer, but I know I haven’t played to my full potential and when that happens, it will be just me and Tiger.”

Let’s get one thing clear, here. Poulter isn’t a bad player at all. In fact, he’s ranked 22nd in the world and has nine professional wins to his name. But he’s also not the caliber of player that can make this statement and not get laughed at. For all his success, Poulter hasn’t won a damn thing on the PGA Tour, with all of his success coming overseas. Compare Poulter’s accomplishments to Woods’ 62 PGA Tour wins and 13 majors and it’s obvious they’re not on the same universe, even on Pouler’s best day.

Poulter then went on to guarantee a victory in June’s U.S. Open at Torrey Pines. Yes, the same Torrey Pines that Woods dismantled this past weekend. Despite having a grand total of one top ten finish at a major, we’re now supposed to believe Poulter can hang with the best player ever. I have news for you, Ian. By the time you reach that potential, Tiger’s game will continue to improve enough to leave you in the dust…again.
