The Golf Monthly columnist says that nobody has ever hit the ball as well as Dustin Johnson...not even Tiger Woods in his prime
Wayne Riley: 'DJ Better Tee To Green Than Woods In His Prime'
Radar, as he's known, regularly walks the fairways on the PGA and European Tour for Sky and thinks that DJ is better to tee green than Tiger Woods was in his prime.
"He’s the stand-out favourite every time he tees it up now," Riley told Golf Monthly.
"It’s quite incredible – we’re in an era where we’ve never had as many world-class players and he’s pulling away at the top.
"For me, the two best players in the world are DJ and JT, but Johnson is far more consistent.
"He hasn’t finished outside the top 12 since July last year and he’s had three wins and three second places since then.
"It’s just ridiculous how good he is.
"Tee to green, Johnson is better than Woods was in his prime.
"Tiger was a great ball-striker in his halcyon years, don’t get me wrong, but people underestimate how good a putter he was.
"Tiger was well above average from tee to green, but DJ is better in that realm.
"Tiger was a better all-round player, of course, but I’ve never seen anyone hit the ball as well as DJ is right now.
"No one has ever hit it so good."
