Tiger Woods turns 43 today and Golf Channel’s Justin Ray has provided us all with some absolutely ridiculous Tiger stats.
Seriously, just scroll through these and appreciate the greatness.
Tiger Woods won nine PGA Tour events in 2000. No other player led or co-led following nine total rounds that season.

I mean that’s decent right?

Anyone can do this … right?
During a stretch from May of 1999 through the end of 2000, Tiger played in 34 worldwide events that counted towards the World Ranking. Tiger won 18 of them, and won 7 times by 4 or more shots. He finished outside the top-ten 4 times.

Getting a little bit more absurd.
Since the PGA Tour started tracking it in 1983, there are eight instances of a player beating the field by an average of 2.6 strokes per round during an entire season. Tiger did it all eight times. pic.twitter.com/sA5Ab6LB35

Sheesh
During the "Tiger Slam," Woods was a combined 65-under, 45 shots better than any other player during those 4 combined majors (Els and Mickelson were both -20).

Ummm
In the 16 rounds of the Tiger Slam, Woods beat the field by an average of 5.40 strokes per round. That means Woods outperformed the field scoring average by a combined total of more than 86 shots across those four tournaments.

From 1997 through 2008, Woods was a combined 126-under in majors. There are 138 other players who played at least 40 rounds in majors in that span. Among that group, Woods was 189 shots better than anyone else. Second on the list: Joe Ogilvie, at 63 over. https://t.co/3nlecFXJpd
