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.
Tiger Woods is the most extraordinary competitor this side of Michael Jordan. To just show up at age 47 after wrecking his body in a car crash, without playing any competitive golf, & birdie the last 3 holes in the cold at Riviera to contend, is impossibly great. Honor to watch.
@Stoooz_ Bit of a choke job but that was hands down my favorite regular season I’ve been alive for. Grateful to be in a position to be disappointed we made the playoffs. Dansby can sure hit a ball 🤪
