Tiger Just Keeps On Rolling Through The Golf Record Books

October 21st, 2009 • Related • Filed Under

So we all know how great a golfer Tiger is.  That is unquestioned.  Some might debate is he the greatest golfer of all time…at this point anyway.  But I was still blown away by his dominance that was demonstrated by some recent numbers that I saw written in a recent golf article.As awards season heats up, Tiger has already started adding to his collection.  In no particular order he has already collected the points based PGA Golfer of the Year, the Vardon Trophy, and the Byron Nelson award.  Already impressive by itself.

But what blew me away was this.  The PGA Points Award for Tiger was his tenth in his 13 years on the golf tour.  The Vardon was his eight and, oh yeah, he picked up the Arnold Palmer award for winning the money title for the ninth time.




I don’t see how you can call this anything but pure dominance.  I was young and didn’t follow golf when Arnold and Jack were in their heyday.  So maybe it was comparable and I’ll have to check some stats on it.  But I know that in my time of following golf, no one comes close to this.

Whether you like Tiger or not, you have to tip your hat to his success and his continued drive when he has already reached heights that most golfers never get to.

I, like a lot of golf fans, would like to see some of his competitors give Tiger some stiffer competition.  But at the same time, I stand in amazement at what he has done while realizing he’s not done yet.

Congrats Tiger, well done!
