14 years between majors doesn't help his case.

Great point! Rory is really a great player when he plays well. When he goes on hot streaks, he’s been truly amazing and could theoretically be competitive with and have a chance to beat any of the past greats in any tourney had they somehow been playing during their peak at the same time. His career Grand Slam is no doubt a huge accomplishment!

The problem appears to be consistently playing very well for long enough periods of time to be considered one of the greatest. Has he done that?

In the meantime let’s see how he does over especially the next 5-7 years. That obviously still could impact his overall greatness ranking.

Agreed. Speith seems to be following the Rory route too. Looked unbeatable and then got his mind wrecked by Augusta. Number 12 haunts Jordan every night.
 
A big auto racing day is set for tomorrow. And a NASCAR driver wants to race in both (1,100 miles):

Kyle Larson Indy 500, NASCAR Coca Cola 600 weather forecast for double races on Sunday


 
Larson crashed pretty early (lap 91) in the Indy 500. He was bummed. Indy was won by the Spaniard, Alex Palou.

But Larson is now racing in the Coca Cola 600. He’s currently 9th.
 
Gonna be kinda bummed when the Cincinnati Reds callup Chase Burns from the Chattanooga Lookouts but they would dumb not to.
With the Lookouts, he is 4-1 with a 1.86 ERA, 45 strikeouts, and only 3 walks. Filthy. There's little doubt he's gonna be a regular Cy Young contender for a while once he gets into the bigs.

Well, Larson lead at Charlotte early, but was caught in a crash with some others on lap 245 knocking him out. He ended up finishing way down at #37 of 40. Not a good day at all!

The winner at Charlotte was Chastain.
