Debate continues about the best male golfer of all time. According to almost all opinions, there are only two candidates – Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. Jack won more Majors and had considerably more top-10 finishes in the big four events. But Tiger has had more victories on the PGA Tour and, in this author’s opinion at least, he had spells where he played a level golf that was beyond anything we have seen before or after.
The year 2000 was an absolutely astounding one for Woods. He won the US Open at Pebble Beach by an unbelievable 15 strokes. He won The Open at St Andrews by eight, he also won the PGA Championship. In addition, he won six further times on the PGA Tour plus secured three other victories. Of the 20 events he entered on the PGA Tour, he finished in the top-three on 14 occasions. He broke 27 PGA Tour records that season.
