To become a legend in your sport, it takes a combination of time, dedication, and relentless effort to achieve the heights in your career. When it comes to the sport of golf, practicing your consistency couldn’t be more important especially when it comes down to becoming the best of all time.
Tiger Woods is one of the rare golfers with a legacy that completely outshines most. Over the last two decades, he’s become known as the best golfer of all time, mostly due to his incredible records. So for this article, we’ll be discussing Tiger Woods’ greatest records in golf history, including most of his win records, cut-making streaks, and more!
There’s a lot to fit in about Tiger Woods and his successful golf career, starting with his unbeatable winning records set back as early as 2000. In terms of winning records, Woods won 18 Majors in total throughout his career, 15 of them coming from Pro Majors. He’d win 82 PGA Tours which is an incredible amount to go along with 7 consecutive PGA Tour wins from the year 2006-2007.
Woods also holds records for the most victories in a single PGA tour event, coming in with 8 total wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational (2000-2003, 2008-2009, 2012-2013), 8 total wins at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational (1999-2001, 2005-2007, 2009, 2013), 7 total wins at the Farmers Insurance Open (1999, 2003, 2005-2008, 2013), 7 total wins at the WGC-Cadillac Championship (1999, 2002-2003, 2005-2007, 2013), 5 total wins at the BMW Championship (1997, 1999, 2003, 2007, 2009) and 5 total wins at the Memorial Tournament (1999-2001, 2009, 2012). To seal the deal, Woods would capture 9 PGA Tour wins in one singular year (2000).
Continuing his domination streak from the scoring charts, Woods was accustomed to winning tournaments and winning them in style. Throughout his career, he’d make 142 consecutive cuts without missing a single one, the most of all time in golf history. Not only that, but he’d shoot 20 hole-in-ones throughout his career, 3 of them coming in the PGA Tour, something most golfers can’t even do once.
In 1997 Tiger Woods set records for lowest aggregate and to-par score with 270 strokes (that’s 18 under par). He’d also hold the largest margin for victory at the Masters with a whopping 12 strokes. In addition to all these other stats, Woods would amass the lowest scoring average of 68.17 in 2000, currently the lowest of all time in PGA history since Bryson Nelson in 1945. It doesn’t take more than one look at Tiger Wood’s greatest records to truly understand why he’s one of the greatest golfers of all time, without much to argue against at that.
