As far as achievements, one major in tennis is worth probably two in Golf, when one considers average career span and the comparative achievements of the greatest players in each sport (well, golf isn't a sport), eg, Sampras (14 in 15 years) and Nicklaus (18 in 25 years).

Get a life Arnab. Don't talk that you have
no knowledge about. Jack was an exception. Go find out who is second not including Tiger. It is thousand time harder to win two/three tournaments back to back in golf. Not talking about majors even. Even for Sampras - Jack comparison, winning 14 in 15 years and 18 in 25+ years which one is harder?
There was a question asked about Tiger in Tennis thread. I answered.
Tennis has less career time for being in the peek. Physical fitness matters to compete with the younger faster players. However, on a person's peek, one can dominate the circuit. In golf, no one can dominate (except Tiger). There is no arrogance in Golf. You not only play against players but you also play against the course and weather. The unpredictability makes the game so much harder than any sports. Go talk to your Cricket gurus. They will tell you which one is harder Golf or Cricket.
Anyone can hit a ball in Tennis for the first time picking up racket. Not that easy in golf. Try it, you may come to LOVE the game.
