Most wins in PGA Tour history? That’d be 82, and Tiger Woods is tied with Sam Snead atop that list.
Most money? That’s also a mark held by Mr. Woods, as he has won nearly $121 million in on-course earnings since turning pro.
Majors? Woods has 15, three shy of the all-time mark held by Jack Nicklaus. He may never catch him, but Tiger’s place in major history is secure.
Most weeks ranked No. 1 in Official World Golf Ranking? Woods blows the field away there with 683 weeks (Greg Norman is next with 331).
The list of his accomplishments takes a while to pore over, but when one scans the PGA Tour record book, some items of note stand out.
Here’s a closer look at some of the (perhaps surprising) things Woods hasn’t done in his pro golf career.
Scoring marks
The lowest nine-hole scoring mark on the PGA Tour is held by Corey Pavin, who had a front-nine, 8-under 26 at the 2006 U.S. Bank Championship at Brown Deer Park Golf Club in Milwaukee.
The low 18-hole mark is, of course, the 58, the one and only 58 in Tour history, shot by Jim Furyk at the 2016 Travelers Championship.
Woods is also not among the 11 golfers who have shot a 59, nor does he have one of the 48 60s. Woods’ lowest score on the PGA Tour is a 61, which he accomplished four times:
- 1999 GTE Byron Nelson Invitational
- 2000 WGC-NEC Invitational
- 2005 Buick Open
- 2013 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational
The 36-hole, 54-hole and 72-hole scoring records are also not held by Woods.
Most wins in a season
Tiger Woods won nine times in 2000. He won eight events two different times, in 1999 and again in 2006.
But the all-time mark for most wins in a season may never be broken. In 1945, Byron Nelson won 18 times, including a stretch of 11 in a row. Tiger’s longest winning streak is seven.
Largest margin of victory
Woods famously won the 2000 U.S. at Pebble Beach by a whopping 15 shots. He finished 12 under, the only golfer to break par, en route to routing the field on the Monterey Peninsula.
The PGA Tour mark for largest victory margin is 16, and it’s held by four golfers—Bobby Locke, Sam Snead, Joe Kirkwood, Sr. and J. Douglas Edgar—but none of them blew away the field in a major like Woods did.
While Woods fell short statistically here, there is no doubt his rout is the most impressive.
Most top-10s
In addition to all his victories, another reason Woods won so much money is his high finishes. In all, he has made 336 cuts, had 199 top-10s, 31 second-place finishes and another 19 thirds.
Woods had 16 top-10 finishes in 1999 and another 17 in 2000 but never did catch the mark of 21 set by Tom Kite in 1981.
Holes-in-one
Tiger Woods has played more than 25,000 holes of golf on the PGA Tour but has only made three aces over the years:
- 1996 Greater Milwaukee Open
- 1997 Phoenix Open
- 1998 Sprint International
Ears are still ringing from the hole-in-one at TPC Scottsdale.
The PGA Tour’s all-time mark for most aces is the 10 collected by Robert Allenby and Hal Sutton. There are five golfers next on the list with seven, including a guy with the last name Wood, but Woods is not near the top of this list.
