ELDRICK “TIGER” WOODS
HAS BEEN THE
author of some pretty amazing records, since
joining the PGA Tour in 1996. He has won 79
PGA sanctioned tournaments trailing only the
legendary Sam Snead (82) for the most career
wins on tour. With 14 major titles, he is second
to only Jack Nicklaus (18) for the most major
championships won in a career.
This year, Jordan Spieth will surpass Woods’
record of $9,941,563.00 earned in a single
season set in 2006, but Woods is still the all-
time leading money winner with over $109.9
million.
He is the only professional golfer ever to win
four consecutive major championships (Tiger
Slam) by holding the titles of the 2000 U.S.
Open, British Open Championship, PGA
Championship, and the 2001 Masters. Bobby
Jones won the U.S. Open, U.S. Amateur, British
Open and British Amateur in 1930, but Jones
played his entire career as an amateur.
One of the most impressive records that Tiger
set since joining the PGA Tour in 1996 is the
142 consecutive cuts that he made over a seven
year period ending in 2006.
Yet with all of these lofty accomplishments, the
record that likely will never be broken is the six
consecutive years that he held USGA National
Championship titles while still an amateur.
In 1991 at the age of 15, he became the youngest
player to ever win the U.S. Junior Amateur. He
won this title again in 1992 and 1993. Three
U.S. Junior Amateur titles in a row is a feat that
had never been accomplished and probably
will never be accomplished again. Tiger was the
best junior golfer in the nation for 3 consecutive
years.
Continuing his quest for greatness, in 1994 he
won the U.S. Amateur Championship at age 18,
and, oh by the way, he was the youngest winner
ever.
Whether you are a TigerWoods’ fan or not,
you cannot argue with a record that will
never be touched.

Greatest Record!
