Records and trivia

  • Woods is the first golfer to win four PGA Tour events five or more times. In order of his accomplishment: WGC-CA Championship, WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, Buick Invitational, and Arnold Palmer Invitational.
  • In all of his major victories, he has had the outright lead or a share of the lead at the end of the third round. He has had the outright lead or a share of the lead 8 times at the end of the second round and has won every time.
  • Woods holds at least a share of the record for lowest 72-hole score in relation to par in all four majors, and holds the low-72 holes record outright in two of them. Note that the "to par" and "low 72-holes" records are not always the same because, while most championship golf courses have a par of 72, or 288 for four rounds, some have a par of 71 or 70.
  • Woods is the only player to have won multiple professional majors in consecutive years, 2005 and 2006. Bobby Jones won multiple majors in consecutive years in 1926 and 1927, when the U.S. Amateur and the British Amateur were both considered majors[1]
  • Woods has won two or more majors in a year four times. He trails only Jack Nicklaus, who won two majors in a season five times (1963, '66, '72, '75 and '80).[2]
  • Woods and Nicklaus are the only players to have finished in the Top 5 in all four majors in a year. They have both achieved this twice: Woods in 2000 and 2005, and Nicklaus in 1971 and 1973.
  • Woods and Bobby Jones are the only golfers to have won 10 majors before the age of 30. Jones achieved 13 majors in 21 attempts, (winning percentage 62%), while Woods achieved 10 wins in 44 attempts (a 23% winning ratio).[3]
  • Woods holds the PGA Tour record for most consecutive rounds at par or better with 52. The streak began in the second round of the 2000 GTE Byron Nelson Classic and ended in the second round of the 2001 Phoenix Open. When including non-PGA Tour events, the streak was 66.[4]
  • Woods is only the second player all-time to win three major championships in a calendar year (2000) winning the U.S. Open, The Open Championship, and the PGA Championship respectively, along with Ben Hogan who accomplished this feat in (1953) with The Masters, the U.S. Open, and The Open Championships.

The Masters

  • −18 (270), 1997 (outright to-par and low 72 holes record)
  • Woods holds the record for the largest margin of victory at the Masters: 12 strokes (1997)
  • Woods became the youngest winner in 1997 at the age of 21 years, 104 days
  • His win made him the first winner of The Masters, or any other (under-50) men's major, of African or Asian descent. He and Vijay Singh are the only winners of any major of such descent.
  • After a front-nine 40 in the first round, Woods played the final 63 holes 22-under par
  • He played 72 holes without a single three-putt
  • Lowest two round total back to back 65,66

U.S. Open

  • −12 (272), 2000 (outright to-par record)
  • Woods shares the low 72-holes record with Jack Nicklaus, Lee Janzen, and Jim Furyk.
  • Woods holds the record for the largest margin of victory at the U.S. Open: 15 strokes (2000) (this is the record for all majors)
  • Also in 2000, Woods became the first player to finish a U.S. Open at double digits under par. (In 1992, Gil Morgan was the first ever to be double digits under par at any stage of a U.S. Open, but failed to finish in double digits under par, and indeed failed to win that event, with Tom Kite winning instead.)
  • Woods was the only player to finish under par at the following U.S. Opens:
  • With his win in 2008, Woods equaled Jack Nicklaus' feat of winning each major at least three times

The Open Championship

  • 2000 victory
    • −19 (269) (outright to-par record, Greg Norman holds the low 72-holes record at 267)
    • Woods became the fifth player to achieve the Career Grand Slam, and the youngest player (24 years 7 months) to do so, breaking the mark held by Nicklaus (26 years, 6 months at the 1966 British Open)
    • He became the fastest to win all four majors -- in his 93rd sanctioned tournament, compared with 125 for Nicklaus.
    • He became the youngest to win a fourth major championship, breaking the mark held by Nicklaus (25 years, 2 months at the 1965 Masters)
    • He became the first golfer since Tom Watson in 1982 to win the U.S. and British Opens in the same year
    • He won by a record 8 strokes
    • He avoided all 112 bunkers the entire week at the Old Course

  • Woods is the only player in the stroke-play era (since 1958) to repeat as PGA champion.
  • Woods' wins at Medinah in 1999 and 2006 make him the only player to win the PGA Championship twice on the same course.
  • Second round 63 in the 2007 PGA Championship tied the record for lowest single-round score in major championship history
  • Woods is the only player to win the PGA Championship back-to-back on two different occasions: 1999-2000 and 2006-2007
