The best men’s golf swings in modern history (post hickory shafts) based upon control/power/aesthetics I’d argue:

1) Tiger Woods 2000
2) Ben Hogan
3) Jack Nicklaus
4) Sam Snead
5) Tiger Woods 07
6) Lee Trevino
7) Peter Thomson
8) Tiger Woods 97
9) Byron Nelson
10) Gary Player

[Brandel Chamblee @chambleebrandel]

That was the best golf I’ve seen on the PGA Tour all year. Final pairing and they shoot the two lowest scores of the day 63-62… both Hovland and Schauffele had raw scores of -19 for the week, 7 strokes clear of the next best score by Wyndham Clark or -12.

2023 was a year of comebacks, in no particular order:

1) Fowler from oblivion
2) Day from back struggles
3) Koepka from Netflix gloom
4) Glover from putting yips
5) Hovland from chipping issues

Best stories of the year in no particular order:

1) Nick Taylor’s putt on 18 and winning Canadian Open followed Adam Hadwin getting tackled by security… can’t make that up.
2) Michael Block at the PGA (Hole in one, chip at 18) can’t make that up, part two.
3) Fowler win at Rocket Mortgage. Great react of satisfaction.
4) Rory’s win at Scottish Open birdieing the final two holes… best long iron of the year.
5) Homa’s walk and talk en route to winning Farmers… what a great pick in Homa for an experiment that proved to be a home run for players and fans.

73 minutes of Tiger Woods golf shots. What a glorious day.

Some of my favorite Tiger stats.

Enjoy.

------------

Tiger from 1999 to 2009:

Percent of events he won:
➡️34%

Percent of events he finished 9th or worse:
➡️32%

Over a 10-year stretch, Tiger was more likely to win than finish 9th or worse.

------------

Tiger had a 10 year stretch (1999 to 2009) where he finished in the top three in 53% of his starts.

------------

Tiger in 2000 season:

▶️2nd in Distance off-the-tee
▶️Hit 71.2% of fairways

Pretty good.

------------

From 1999 to 2004 Tiger had a 100 tournament stretch with:

▶️33 wins
▶️61 top 5s
▶️70 top 10s

-----------

Tiger was how good in 2000?

Take the 2022 leader in each strokes gained category:

Off-the-tee: Rahm (1.03)
Approach: Zalatoris (1.06)
Around-the-green: Kuchar (0.52)
Putting: Herbert (0.85)

Add them up = 3.46 per round.

In 2000 Tiger gained 3.83 per round.

------------

Tiger Woods won 24 times in a 38-month stretch.

------------

Since 1980 (as far back as the stats go) the only player ever to hit more than 75% greens in regulation in a season?

Tiger Woods in 2000.
(75.15%)

-------------

Tiger in 2000:

He gained 5+ strokes in 31.6% of his rounds.

------------

Tiger's career win-rate as a pro:
▶️23%

Chances the typical PGA Tour pro makes a 15-foot putt:
▶️22%

-----------

Tiger had 32-round stretch in 2006/2007 where he beat the field by an average of 4.7 shots per round.

Tiger was nearly 5 shots better than the average tour player. 🤯

He would have needed to spot them 19 shots over 4 rounds to make it "fair"!

------------

In the 2000 season Tiger finished in the top five 17 out of 20 events. His worst finish that season was 23rd.

-------------

If you only counted the money Tiger won at:
▶️Firestone
▶️Augusta
▶️Torrey Pines
▶️Bay Hill

It would be $36.9 million.

That alone puts him 28th on the career money list.

-------------

Tiger had a stretch where he won 23 times in 50 events.
▶️Win rate of 46% 🤯

-------------

In 2000 season, Tiger played 76 rounds.

He shot (or tied) the lowest round of the day 21% of the time.

He shot (or tied) one of the five lowest rounds of the day 53% of the time.

🚨#VIDEO: The Long Lost Bunker Shot that Michael Greller says is the “Best bunker shot Jordan has ever hit.” Unreal 👀🔥

[Uncle Brady @BradyCalkins]

Always watched these from a screen and couldn’t wait to watch mine, so excited to do this for a living 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[Shane Bacon @shanebacon]

So Tiger just draws a dead-straight line on his ball and doesn’t use a tool or anything to help. Just dead straight freehand. I’m in shock. (Shout-out @A_R_Goldberg for pointing this out)
