During the 2000 PGA Tour season, Woods recorded one round higher than 73. Woods’ 11 top-five finishes in the Masters is second all-time to Nicklaus.ģ2. That is the best career scoring average in that event for any player with at least 50 rounds played.
Woods has a career scoring average of 70.86 in the Masters. Tiger has racked up $11 million in official earnings in that event alone – more than six times what Arnold Palmer earned in his entire PGA Tour career.ģ3. Woods was a combined 82 under at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational from 1999 through 2009 – 49 shots better than anyone else in that span. During the time Woods was in his 20s, the player with the second-most victories before age 30 was David Duval, with 13.ģ4. Woods won 46 times in his 20s, 16 more than any other player in PGA Tour history (Nicklaus, again, is second).
No other player had more than 16 such rounds in that span.ģ5. In majors from 1997 through 2008, Tiger recorded 34 different rounds of 67 or better. On that note: today, there is currently only one player with double-digit PGA Tour wins (not majors, just regular victories) under age 30: Rory McIlroy.ģ6. Since the first Masters was held in 1934, the only player to even win five majors before turning 30 was Jack Nicklaus, who won seven.ģ7. Woods won 10 majors before his 30 th birthday. Woods was a cumulative 94 under par in those tournaments – 60 shots better than any other player.ģ8. Open, Woods won seven of the 11 majors contested. From the 1999 PGA Championship through the 2002 U.S. No other player won more than eight times in that span.ģ9. Woods won 32 times on the PGA Tour from 1999 through 2003. Revel in the insanity that has been Tiger’s historic greatness for the better part of 20 years:Ĥ0. The goal was to illuminate a few of the numbers that go beyond the standards everyone knows – 14 (major wins), 79 (PGA Tour wins) and 15 (margin of victory at the 2000 U.S. Narrowing down Tiger’s greatest statistical achievements to just 40 is as entertaining as it is arduous. It may take decades, but someday, people will look at Tiger’s prime years as possibly the most dominant, relatively speaking, by any one athlete in the history of sports. Yet, to say that Ruth has as staggering a resume as Woods is a disservice to Tiger. Only one other TEAM besides the Yankees hit that many home runs that season. In 1920, Ruth hit 54 home runs, which at the time, shattered his own single-season record by 25. Before Ruth, baseball’s all-time home run leader was Roger Connor, with 138. When it comes to the complete demolition of a respective sport’s record book, Tiger Woods has few rivals.īabe Ruth ended his Major League Baseball career with 714 home runs. Take a look back at Tiger's greatest statistical achievements as compiled by Justin Ray of the Golf Channel research department.)
