Man,, forgot how special Tiger Woods has been through his career.

Awesome to watch the TGC show on his 82 wins. Brings back all the memories of a very special golfer.

GO TIGER!!!

The GOAT

Agreed, nice walk down memory lane. Side bar, the early Curtis Strange interview didn't age well. If I was Mr.Strange I might hang my head low...

Yeah it's pretty incredible what he has done - in the modern era! It's crazy hard to get to 5 majors. His career is insane.

50+ wins by the age of 30..

you "forgot"?...

Yeah, I enjoyed it. Despite having watched it as it happened; it's easy to forget just how dominant he really was. I mean, no one else was even close.

Like that streak of a little over 30 tournaments entered and he won more than half of them? I mean; that's just insane.

GOAT

He has done worse than tipping poorly as some may remember (even stupid, if you marry the daughter of a top politician and a star journalist you should keep your cellular in your pocket if cheating. Even maybe not cheat) but thats one thing.

His accomplishment as a golfer is another. I sometimes just goes into his page at pgatour.com and look at results. Starts from 1997 and work my way forward. Its nothing but crazy.

Exactly what I thought about the Curtis Strange interview in the beginning...Strange sounded so bitter and jealous and Tiger's face was like "Wanna bet?"

You forgot? All ya gotta do is log on here and there are like 10 threads a week over the last 15 years to remind you.

His middle of 99 through 2001 Masters run (or can even extend this through the '02 season) is just an insane stretch of golf. I think the show mentioned 15 wins out of 26 events at one point.

And despite the hate the Haney swing gets I loved the way he swung it in '07.

it happens when you get bombarded with mediocre/inferior talent.

Okay - I will ask 'cause I know it's coming.

Have we forgotten about Ben Hogan?

Equally as good but he achieved his greatness without the cumbersome number of wins and without the big shot style tipping .

He played to a +10 for the ENTIRE 2000 season. That's all you need to you know. Just insane how good he was.

27 wins and 7 Majors in 4 years.

Literally Tiger vs. the field.

> @golfer07840 said:

In the entire 2000 season, he had only one round higher than 73. (A 75 in the first round of the Masters.) That is unbelievably amazing.

In 2000, he was 53 under in the majors, 35 shots better than the next best player.

He won 32 times in a four-year period. The next highest winner had 8.

From 2002-2005, he had 1,540 putts from 3 feet and in and made 1,537 of them.

It's amazing how many times Tiger went on serious win streaks, especially when you compare it to the current world number 1, who phones it in regular events. Tiger showed up for every shot, every tournament. You think of the emotional and physical energy that goes into winning one tournament, then winning 5 or 6 in a row is amazing. And he did that more than once.

I know too much about him in his early years, an arrogant **** as a junior and a cheap tipper when he was making 100 mil per year. Stories by Haney and Harmon are true, I know both of them. I think he has changed a bit but his constant whining about injuries has worn thin. Koepka kicked his **** and he deserved it.

Well thank you sir...not to get too sidetracked but I’d be an awful dad tbh.

Tiger has 81 wins. One short of Snead's 82.

But part of that "53 under in the majors was the PGA. If the Players was the major he'd have only been 44 under. ?

I’ll be honest I failed to realize how large his margin of victory was in so many of his wins.

I don't believe that. If you care you will do well. It's the greatest thing in the world.

He should have played more team events

I agree after watching TGC special I forgot how special he was. "still is"

with all the reduced field events he had it more than balanced out. In my mind I gave tiger the W record either way and would expect most people do even if he doesnt get to 82*.Maybe it would be fitting he wins at new orleans next year teaming up with Phil for 82

Perhaps you forgot how well they team together :)

Yikes Curtis. That interview has not aged well.
