- Considered one of the best seasons in the history of golf, Tiger Woods set or tied 27 PGA TOUR records in 2000, won nine times including the year's final three majors (U.S. and The Open Championships, PGA Championship) and finished in the top five in 17 of 20 events. His non-adjusted scoring average of 68.17 is the best in golf history, surpassing Byron Nelson's 68.33 unofficial mark of 1945. For all of this, he won Player of the Year honors.

He led the tour in 1st round scoring average, 2nd round scoring average, 3rd round scoring average and was 2nd in final round scoring average(probably would've been 1st if he didn't go on cruise control so often due to large leads). He was 1st in par 3 scoring, 1st in par 4 scoring and 1st in par 5 scoring. First in front 9 scoring, first in back 9 scoring. He shot more rounds 64 or lower than he did rounds over par.
Statistically he was 1st in total driving, 1st in Greens in regulation, 2nd in scrambling and 1st in strokes gained putting.
Just an overall dominance tee to green that the game has never seen before.
WOW
In fact to add, he only shot 1 round above 73 in competition in 2000, and that was a 75 at the Masters when the scoring average for the day was 75.6. And the 68.17 scoring average, the lowest in PGA tour history. Just incredible.
Nobody dominated the game the way he did. Nobody.
And nobody will ever again.
@@alexanderjefferies7740 To be in the top 5 of almost 50% of your Tour events is just sick.
@@hammertyme8392 during that year he finished top 5 in 17 of the 20 events he played in
That 2000 year is literally a HOF resume all onto itself.
Well said....it really is.
Tiger has had 7 different years that would have gotten him into the HOF based on his accomplishments in those single years alone!
@@aaronsmith7946 That is the most absurd stat lol
@@aaronsmith7946
That's SICK!!!
People forget Tiger held all 4 majors, the players, the memorial, and a wgc event all at the same time. Unprecedented.
1999 WGC - American Express
1999 Memorial
1999 WGC Bridgestone
1999 PGA Championship
2000 Memorial
2000 US Open
2000 Open Championship
2000 PGA Championship
2000 Bridgestone
2001 Players
2001 Masters
2001 Memorial
That’s a hall of fame resume over a 3 year stretch
I was at the 1999, 2000, and 2001 memorials and he was absolutely flawless
He is a once-in-a-lifetime athlete who impacted the game so much that it sent Golf beyond the stratosphere. Lucky you saw him! Just his presence was enough to put fear of God into the other golfers. A true legend. And thank you for pointing this incredible stat out of all the events he held.
No, actually, if you want to go about it insanely, just start with the fact that he held all four major titles starting with the US Open into the Masters in 2001, but also won all 3 WGCs from Firestone (Bridgestone), American Express, and Match Play, as well as the masters during that period. So, he had all four majors, all 3 WGC individual events and the Players. Basically, every single big event that existed at that time, he had.
@@aaronsmith7946 Wanna know what’s even more insane? He has no idea where any of those trophies are. During his recovery from his crash, Rory went over to his house to visit him and went into his trophy room. All that was in there was his 15 major trophies. Rory came back out and asked Tiger where all the other ones are. Tiger told him he didn’t know. He said he thought his mom has a couple (pretty sure she has his 3 U.S. Amateurs) and a couple are at the office (not sure what office he meant) and the rest are “wherever”. Think how many trophies this man has won. 2 Players, 2 FedEx Cups, a bunch of Vardons, a bunch of Player of the Years, etc., etc. and he doesn’t even know or care where they are.
So sick
May 2000 to May 2001, those twelve months from Tiger are the benchmark that everyone attempts to live up to even now.
Start from May 1999, his results in the second half of 1999 are insane
I think his best 12 month stretch was from August 1999 to August 2000
Magical year.
Even now? It will likely always be the standard - even hundreds of years from now.
@@buchaneb Every era is different and should be judged on its own merits but Tiger in 2000 was sick
The closest thing we've seen since then was Rory in 2014 when he won 3 straight, 2 majors and a WGC
But Rory hasn't been himself for 8 years now
And then everyone wakes up and realizes it will never be done again.
No doubt that TIGER is the best player in the history of golf
Shaun Viljoen Golf I never really liked tiger sense that’s all everyone talks about for 2 decades, but yeah he was the best player to ever pick up a golf club.
TheB Man what a great reason to dislike someone
@@thebman4709 maybe try to form your own opinion? Just a thought
He’s definitely one of the greats but think of players like jones and hogan shooting those scores with there course and equipment.
I love tiger but I don’t know yet Jack prime won 18 MAJORSwith legends like Arnie and Watson hogan miller
No one have ever came closed to this level. Pure dominance.
These are the kinds of videos we want to see.
I'm 31. Is Tiger Woods the reason I started playing golf? Absolutely. It was literally watching Tiger at the 2000 US Open as a 10 year old that made me want to play golf.
Same I’m 30 he was so amazing if it was for him and his play and enthusiasm I would have thought golf was boring. He change the game
It was the 97 Masters for me.
More than his 2000 swing, which was mercurial, IMO Tiger biggest strength was that he is one of, if not The greatest, readers of greens and the best putter to have played the game
His putting and Chipping in big moments and just in General is the biggest reason he is arguably the goat. People freak out about the ball striking or his distance, but it's his short game that made him tiger.
@@robd1811 I agree with this to an extent. However, if the 2005-2009 Tiger putted better in the big moments like he did from 1999-2003, we would have seen something insane, and he would have 21 majors.
@@aaronsmith7946 The longevity issue is why Jack still edges TW for best total career ever.
@@paulgilbert2506
We're talking about the best player!!
The good thing is, the world knows who is the best.
@@paulgilbert2506yeah, greatest career maybe, but tiger played golf better than anyone ever has.
Man, I love TIGER!! I remember being "younger" and sitting at friends playing Tiger Woods Golf all the time, not to mention actually golfing all the time!! The hype at the time was THROUGH the roof!! Best golfer to ever live, period! And, LOTS of people have their struggles, myself included. That's life! TY for all that you did and do TIGER!! Cheers!!
My favorite part at 6:26. If there was a check written to me for that amount I’d have the same reaction.
That swing speed back then was just nuts
Comes from 7 back with 7 to play for his 6th win in a row. These were magical times. I am so glad I got to live this.
Greatest golfer EVER!!!!
Daniel Barwatt Jack is no Tiger
Tiger is the best!!!
Daniel Barwatt who’s Jack
Lynyrd Villanueva jack nicklaus
I'm actually pretty good at golf tbh so it's a close one for me or tiger as the g.o.a.t. 😂
He had a strong mind. He manifested his own destiny. His focus was sharp. He had unparalleled dedication to his craft. This is the same for anyone who is Hyper Focused on their passion.
It's ridiculous that commentators still try and compare Rory to Tiger
IKR
Andi McGaw can’t compare a Gulfstream to a BMW.
Still? They thought Rory would be like Tiger when he turned pro in ‘07, but it was unclear in 2011, that he wasn’t going to be that good. He has sort of got his game together the last 2 years, but he won’t be near the legend
@@shaihasani6859 But Rory has had a successful career so far
They even compre Jack tô the Tiger
That dual between Tiger and Els at the President's Cup was NUTS!!!!
Its SO damn good to see him back on top, watching him celebrate being back on top after the masters last year brings joy to my heart.
:(
@@bogme huh?
The greatest golfer of all time past and present!
All time is all time. No need to say past and present.
This makes me cry, it’s just so incredible, such an inspiration as an individual, the willingness to WIN and be the best no matter what. I want to be like that as a human. Succeed for sake of the betterment of myself.. golf aside, it is incredible. The saying “you can do anything” is clear. He had a vision and accomplished it. He beat himself for years. I struggle to beat myself for a day. Undeniably the best athlete of all time.
We will never see a golfer hold all four majors at the same time again in my life!, Guaranteed
And Mr. Stilwell is six years old...lol
Tiger Woods. Mentally tough, born with an insane talent plus hard work, I don't believe we will ever see the likes of this performance ever agian. Hope you're back on the links soon Tiger.
Tiger is basically Secretariat. There are other great golfers that compare with him. Jack = Man O War, Ben Hogan = Citation, etc, but Tiger’s 2000 season was Secretariat’s 1973 Triple Crown season and Tiger’s US Open performance = Secretariat’s Belmont performance.
And they were both on steroids lol
Byron Nelson's 1945 season is the only other season that really compares (though Ben Hogan's limited 1953 season deserves a mention too)
@@saveitmike7228 It's the big leagues
They're all on drugs, LOL
Always gotta get comments from the petty steroid whiners...
Steroids/drugs DO NOT make you a good athlete. I always make sure to remind myself of this by remembering all of those athletes who did take the drugs and amounted to and did NOTHING.
@@MH3GL Suspension of disbelief is fine if you want to enjoy the sport for the entertainment vehicle that it is. But this isn't a rec league were everyone is out there to relax and have fun.
other than his clutch putting, i think the absolute best part of tiger's game were his long irons. i think the long swipe of his swing was just perfect for blasting those low irons.
I love how tiger jus took tht check outa dudes hands, like gimme tht money!
THE GREATEST SEASON EVER.
Top 5 greatest individual season in all of sports
Yes sir, you have made the biggest difference by globally opening up golf to all regardless of ethnicity, status or nationality. Your exciting magical golf skills have inspired young people to play the sport and brought global fandom plus huge finance to the sport. Bravo, Tiger, and may this and you continue, brother!
Never even considered playing golf until this guy came along.
Glad your back Tiger and a limited role handful of tournaments but your back ! Good luck in 22 !
Wow what an absolute legend 👏 his interviews are nothing but pure soul and honesty as is his game on the links. The GOAT
Hes most dominate athlete in any sport for their respective sport.
Nah Micheal phelps
Idk, there’s a few names I can throw out there that don’t get enough credit:
Richard Petty - 200 wins and 7 championships (2nd place has 105 wins)
Michael Schumacher - 91 wins and 7 championships
Wayne Gretzky - 1072 goals and 4 Stanley’s
Jimmie Johnson - 83 wins and 7 championships including 5 championships in a row (won in 4 different generations of cars and multiple different point systems)
Lewis Hamilton - 99 wins and 7 championships
Barry Bonds* - 762 home runs 7 MVP’s 12 silver slugger awards and 8 gold gloves (asterisk for his accusations but was already heading to goat status before the bulk up)
@@ryanderke8678 If you're going to include Barry Bonds, then you need to include Lance Armstrong. They're both cheaters.
Phil Taylor (darts) has entered the chat
The unbelievable shots Tiger made in uncanny. Combined with his wins makes him the greatest.
Someone commented that they are not showing his bad shots; in fact, they are showing so many bad shots in different clips...the difference is that he recovers from these shots which make them more awesome.
Tiger: "Nice year. What do you think Coach?"
Coach: "We need to change your swing."
When he won at Pebble, for 6 in a row, no words. I'll never forget it
that shot in canada was the best shot of his career
agreed. the fact that he did it on the 72nd hole makes it even more insane
17:23 What Tiger did to inspire millions and billions! Every young PGA player started playing golf because of him! The G.O.A.T !
I can tell you that the kids that grew up with launch monitors and all the tech we have now will smash what we know as golf. Having instant feedback on every shot and what that does to muscle memory in golf is insane. The group of kids in 10 years coming into the pga tour will be incredible
It was an amazing time.
The greatest golfer to ever live. Gotta respect Jack for how much he was in the hunt in majors. Beyond major wins, Jack's runner ups and top 5 finishes in majors are the only arguable stats against Tiger being the GOAT. Tiger darn near has everything else. No one will never come close to Tiger's 2000-2001 run. If so, then gosh I want to see it lol.
Not to mention 8 wins in 99
I was at all of those Memorials.. incredible
I’m jealous!
Tiger definitely brought golf to a different level and helped inspire a younger generation to have an appreciation of the game.
That image of tiger hitting the ball out of the bunker with the 6 iron has always been in the back of my head. One time when i was playing i tried to do the same. Only Mine broke a local resident's car window.
Imagine if Tiger had a full healthy career. His wins span 10 good years, most golfers get 30 years. Truly amazing what he did in that amount of time and sad to think what we missed out watching if he stayed healthy.
That's the thing tho the level Tiger played at and the way he swung the golf club, the injuries where always going to come sooner or later. Simply the cost of playing golf at such an elite level.
You can't have it both ways, the things he did to become elite is also what caused the injuries
If he never needed any surgery, or had any serious injury, and thus would have had 24 full seasons on tour, he would probably have around 20 majors and 100 wins! He currently has 15 full seasons on your, since joining the your late 1996. He has an average win rate of 22%. If we just give him 15 events per year (which is probably a very conservative number) every year for the 9 broken seasons due to injuries and scandal, that equates to 82 more entered events. Him running a 22% win rate would probable end up with about 18 more wins.
He has played in 87 majors and won 15. That 17% win rate. He should have played in 96 majors over 24 years. That's 9 more entered majors. With a 17% win rate that yields only 1.32 more wins. For 16 majors.
However, if we imagine him never have had any serious injuries, he could and would have put more time in practicing, especially for the majors, which would have meant that he would have played better overall (at least after 2014) than he actually did, which in turn would have given him a better win rate that he actually has, which consequently probably would have yielded more wins, than the calculations using his real current win rate gives us.
But if I had to guess, I would think that an injury free, 24 full season Tiger would have racked up about 100 wins, including 20 majors!
@@maxcaysey2844 Great analysis.
@@DanielSong39 right
The way he's waking through this masters shows how much he loves it, he owes us golf fans nothing
The scary part about the U.S Open win at Pebble is, he could've won by more, he missed a few putts.
he had a triple bogie on the third round! still up 15 lol
Or he could have won by less if other players made some putts. It's a redundant thing to say. If he was better he would've gotten them. Although obviously he was still the best.
He literally turned pebble beach into a par3 muni
May 2000 to May 2001, those twelve months from Tiger are the benchmark that everyone attempts to live up to even now.
He also could have lost. One of the days he was down to his last golf ball in his bag after hitting his tee ball on 18 in the water
That 2000-2003 was the best swing on tour, in tour history!
You gotta include 1999 too. Eight wins, 68.43 scoring average, and nearly twice as much earned money as #2 David Duval.
It also messed up his back
@@kman7318 Well... it was probably the millions of balls from a very young age that just took its toll, more than any specific swing... Tiger was probably hitting between 500-1000 balls most days when he was 10 years old... he basically started playing golf when he could walk. He was a 2 hcp players at age 11, and scratch at 13. You need to hit so many balls every day on the range and practice greens to get so low, not to mentions hours of standing bent over practicing putting! So just that wear and tear will hurt anyone. But, considering how few injuries someone like Phil has had, its also probably due a lot to genes also, because he has hit millions of balls too and putted for hours on end!
I mean Duval, Kim, Begay, Montgomery, Couples, just to name a few, have all had severe back injuries due to golf, without swinging as hard as Tiger or training as hard in the gym as him. If its was Tiger's Harmon swing that was the cause, they should not have had those injuries because they didn't have his swing... so its basically not the swing. I would argue genes and millions of balls from a very early age just have taken its toll...
2011 Rory mcilroy
@@nolboi1217 No way... Tiger's was as close to perfection in that period as anyone has ever gotten... only other golfer coming close is Adam Scott!

He played his best in the Butch Harmon era.
Shout out to Ernie Els finishing 2nd in 3 majors during this run of Tiger's.
You need to make a video on 2008, when he went 1-1-1-1-5-2-1 on a torn ACL.

I'm just happy and fortunate enough to witness this! It may happen again one day but I'm afraid I will no longer be here!
@@DTB1995 and what is so amazing is that he came in when the sport was just kinda blah! He connected with people that never give golf a thought!
Gives you chills! Man! The pursuit of excellence!
You can’t get by the focus in his voice alone
Took the fairway woods out of the bag and replaced them with hybrids, just fit my swing a little better. Learn the hybrid Ash. Those cookies looked delish, wish I had smellavid. Can't qait till the next vid. You guys brighten any day. Thanks
Be a Man and put irons in your bag and take hybrids out.. Go 3w and 5w and rest irons.. Be a man
I don’t know a thing about Golf, but this man sure made it exciting.
I'd say Tiger's son is gonna be a total champion!! Also John Daly's son, them two can play some terrific golf. Gonna be special to witness it.
I am beyond happy I was born in 87. So I could witness tiger
Back in the mid to late 2000s, I remember a poll that was given to PGA Tour players asking them who the most underrated player on tour was, and shockingly, many of them chose Tiger. I can't remember if Tiger won that poll or just got a bunch of votes, but either way it's eye-opening.
The fact he was picked by anyone is mind-boggling because we're talking about Tiger f$@%ing Woods being underrated. That's just Insanity...right?
Well the only people that can truly understand the magnitude of what Tiger was doing were those he was doing it against. They understood the impossibility of winning golf tournaments with the consistency Tiger was winning with.
I remember hearing a player say, "you just don't understand what this guy (Tiger) is actually doing." For Tiger's peers to put him as the most underrated player on tour is the highest compliment I've seen in my almost 40 years of being a sports fan.
Edit:
After a bit of searching I found the results to a 2015 poll; however, this isn't the one I was referring to above. Here are the results of this poll in 2015
• Woods and Martin Kaymer were voted the most underrated players, with each getting 10 percent of the vote.
Tiger Woods got in to several golfers' heads. Not enough of them had the Will Zalatoris mentality, just play your game and hope your scores are good enough. Granted Woods was great but his competitors gifted him a few
Greatest golfer non negotiable
The laugh at 4:13 pretty much sums it up
I wish I could have that swing from 2000.
To the uneducated who can’t really tell the difference, can you describe what makes it so much different & better? I’m not saying it isn’t, of course, I just don’t know!
Tiger wishes he could have that swing from 2000 for all his other seasons
There will NEVER be another person who dominates golf the way Tiger did. No one after him has even come close. We will never witness greatness like this again.
Yes you have Sir!
Tiger had so much swagger that year
Tiger put Golf in the limelight
Hope to see another great like him !
he doesnt say "well i hope i can get better or ill try"....just straight up "we'll see" that's the response of a true GOAT lmao god damn hero
Brilliant career.
Utterly inspirational.
The goat on paper combined with two different times of golf technology, one can only place Jack Nicholas as the goat 🐐
Sadly most will disagree with me but, we gotta talk facts.
That shot at 4:10 is stooooid good!! They said that right! So clutch
There will never be a prettier swing. My goodness
tiger had an advantage in distance starting from junior golf
One of my last memories of my great grandfather was when I was 5 when this was going on. He said he'd never seen anything like it and I'd likely never see anything like it in my life either. He was right.
Such a special athlete. The Michael Jordon, Wayne Gretski, Jerry Rice, Jimmie Johnson, Kobe Bryant of his sport. The obsession to compete with _himself._
Those Jordons and Gretskis. Man they were good.

His highest win rate was achieved in 2008, winning 4 tournaments out of 6 entries, including winning the US open on a broken leg. If we're going by win rate for a regular season (i.e. excluding 2008), then 2006 was even better than 2000. The stretch from 2006-2008 was more dominant than 1999-2000, that's just facts, but all the golf plebs who don't know how to read numbers are always focused on 1999-2000 because of the grand slam he obtained at the Masters in 2001.

The Golden Bear is the Wilt Chamberlain of golf. Tiger is Jordan. He changed the game forever.
Positive difference would be an understatement! 🐯 = 🐐
GOAT..just so intelligent. That's what separates him from everyone else.
Majored in computer science at Stanford...ill say
So true. He started learning the game from such a young age and his golfing iq shows. That, coupled with his own athletic skill and natural talent, was a force of nature unlike anything golf has ever seen.
No video for the majors?
did they really say he won 11 out of 16???? amazing
It’s something you only dream about leaving such a legacy as Tiger’s. The most dominant competitor ever
