  • Considered one of the best seasons in the history of golf, Tiger Woods set or tied 27 PGA TOUR records in 2000, won nine times including the year's final three majors (U.S. and The Open Championships, PGA Championship) and finished in the top five in 17 of 20 events. His non-adjusted scoring average of 68.17 is the best in golf history, surpassing Byron Nelson's 68.33 unofficial mark of 1945. For all of this, he won Player of the Year honors.

    He led the tour in 1st round scoring average, 2nd round scoring average, 3rd round scoring average and was 2nd in final round scoring average(probably would've been 1st if he didn't go on cruise control so often due to large leads). He was 1st in par 3 scoring, 1st in par 4 scoring and 1st in par 5 scoring. First in front 9 scoring, first in back 9 scoring. He shot more rounds 64 or lower than he did rounds over par.
    Statistically he was 1st in total driving, 1st in Greens in regulation, 2nd in scrambling and 1st in strokes gained putting.
    Just an overall dominance tee to green that the game has never seen before.

      In fact to add, he only shot 1 round above 73 in competition in 2000, and that was a 75 at the Masters when the scoring average for the day was 75.6. And the 68.17 scoring average, the lowest in PGA tour history. Just incredible.

      No, actually, if you want to go about it insanely, just start with the fact that he held all four major titles starting with the US Open into the Masters in 2001, but also won all 3 WGCs from Firestone (Bridgestone), American Express, and Match Play, as well as the masters during that period. So, he had all four majors, all 3 WGC individual events and the Players. Basically, every single big event that existed at that time, he had.

During his recovery from his crash, Rory went over to his house to visit him and went into his trophy room. All that was in there was his 15 major trophies. Rory came back out and asked Tiger where all the other ones are. Tiger told him he didn’t know. He said he thought his mom has a couple (pretty sure she has his 3 U.S. Amateurs) and a couple are at the office (not sure what office he meant) and the rest are “wherever”. Think how many trophies this man has won. 2 Players, 2 FedEx Cups, a bunch of Vardons, a bunch of Player of the Years, etc., etc. and he doesn’t even know or care where they are.

      If he never needed any surgery, or had any serious injury, and thus would have had 24 full seasons on tour, he would probably have around 20 majors and 100 wins! He currently has 15 full seasons on your, since joining the your late 1996. He has an average win rate of 22%. If we just give him 15 events per year (which is probably a very conservative number) every year for the 9 broken seasons due to injuries and scandal, that equates to 82 more entered events. Him running a 22% win rate would probable end up with about 18 more wins.
      He has played in 87 majors and won 15. That 17% win rate. He should have played in 96 majors over 24 years. That's 9 more entered majors. With a 17% win rate that yields only 1.32 more wins. For 16 majors.
      However, if we imagine him never have had any serious injuries, he could and would have put more time in practicing, especially for the majors, which would have meant that he would have played better overall (at least after 2014) than he actually did, which in turn would have given him a better win rate that he actually has, which consequently probably would have yielded more wins, than the calculations using his real current win rate gives us.
      But if I had to guess, I would think that an injury free, 24 full season Tiger would have racked up about 100 wins, including 20 majors!

    Back in the mid to late 2000s, I remember a poll that was given to PGA Tour players asking them who the most underrated player on tour was, and shockingly, many of them chose Tiger. I can't remember if Tiger won that poll or just got a bunch of votes, but either way it's eye-opening.
    The fact he was picked by anyone is mind-boggling because we're talking about Tiger f$@%ing Woods being underrated. That's just Insanity...right?
    Well the only people that can truly understand the magnitude of what Tiger was doing were those he was doing it against. They understood the impossibility of winning golf tournaments with the consistency Tiger was winning with.
    I remember hearing a player say, "you just don't understand what this guy (Tiger) is actually doing." For Tiger's peers to put him as the most underrated player on tour is the highest compliment I've seen in my almost 40 years of being a sports fan.
    Edit:
    After a bit of searching I found the results to a 2015 poll; however, this isn't the one I was referring to above. Here are the results of this poll in 2015
    • Woods and Martin Kaymer were voted the most underrated players, with each getting 10 percent of the vote.

      @@kman7318 Well... it was probably the millions of balls from a very young age that just took its toll, more than any specific swing... Tiger was probably hitting between 500-1000 balls most days when he was 10 years old... he basically started playing golf when he could walk. He was a 2 hcp players at age 11, and scratch at 13. You need to hit so many balls every day on the range and practice greens to get so low, not to mentions hours of standing bent over practicing putting! So just that wear and tear will hurt anyone. But, considering how few injuries someone like Phil has had, its also probably due a lot to genes also, because he has hit millions of balls too and putted for hours on end!
      I mean Duval, Kim, Begay, Montgomery, Couples, just to name a few, have all had severe back injuries due to golf, without swinging as hard as Tiger or training as hard in the gym as him. If its was Tiger's Harmon swing that was the cause, they should not have had those injuries because they didn't have his swing... so its basically not the swing. I would argue genes and millions of balls from a very early age just have taken its toll...

    I'm not even going to talk about his stats. I'll just focus on the very simple truth that Tiger Woods brought unprecedented excitement to the game of an otherwise boring and elitist game. Never have I seen the kind of reaction before from the crowd and the TV viewers in sports bars and I'm sure in homes when he is competing against a deep bench of talented golfers, young and old. This reaction started when he won 3 consecutive Jr. Amateur, e consecutive Amateur and the start of his 1996 win in a playoff with another good golfer, and icing on the cake...winning his first major, The Masters, at 21 yrs old.
    He has inspired so many young people.
