List of Career Achievements By Tiger Woods - Career Records and Statistics

Career Records and Statistics

  1. Woods has won 75 official PGA Tour events, second only to Sam Snead, and two ahead of Jack Nicklaus with 73 wins. (See List of golfers with most PGA Tour wins.)
  2. Woods has won 14 majors, second all time, behind Jack Nicklaus.
  3. Woods is 14–1 when going into the final round of a major with at least a share of the lead.
  4. Woods has the lowest career scoring average in PGA Tour history.
  5. Woods has amassed the most career earnings of any player in PGA Tour history (even after inflation is considered).
  6. Woods is one of five players (along with Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, and Gary Player) to have won all four professional major championships in his career, known as the Career Grand Slam, and was the youngest to do so.
  7. Woods is the only player to have won all four professional major championships in a row, accomplishing the feat in the 2000–2001 seasons. This feat became known as the "Tiger Slam".
  8. Woods set the all-time record for most consecutive cuts made, with 142. The streak started in 1998, he set the record at the 2003 Tour Championship with 114 (passing Byron Nelson's previous record of 113 and Jack Nicklaus at 105) and extended this mark to 142 before it ended on May 13, 2005 at the EDS Byron Nelson Championship. Many consider this to be one of the most remarkable golf accomplishments of all time, given the margin by which he broke the old record and given that during the streak, the next longest streak by any other player was usually only in the 10s or 20s. It should be noted that when Byron Nelson played far fewer players made the cut in a given event.
  9. Woods has won a record 27.9% (75 out of 280) of his professional starts on the PGA Tour.
  10. Woods is the only golfer to have won the U.S. Amateur three consecutive times (1994–96).

    July 4. Statistics show that we lose more fools on this day than in all the other days of the year put together. This proves, by the number left in stock, that one Fourth of July per year is now inadequate, the country has grown so.
