I agree. Plus most of the time he was way far ahead of the 2nd place guy…. Just unreal. But the most unbreakable is the 11 straight. As dominant as tiger was he never really came close to this and the competition is way way better now.

I’ll add Phil Mickelson’s 1,353 consecutive weeks ranked inside the top 50 which ran from 1993 to 2019.

Hey, don't be disrespecting Sammy Byrd. He hit that airport in Entebbe and took care of business.

Miss more greens is my advice.

Tiger’s #1 streak is the greatest stat in golf and maybe all of sports. TW dominated for a solid 13 years.
Pretty weak time for golf though.
Of course you had Phil.
Then who? Vijay? Ernie? Davis Love?
It was not a very deep field week in and week out.
I’m afraid that that is the biggest travesty with LIV, golf was in a great place right before the split. The leaderboards were usually deep.

Dominate players make fields seem “weak”.

"North Korean state media reports that Kim Jong-il, on his first-ever round of golf, shot a score of 38-under-par at Pyongyang Golf Club in 1994. This round supposedly included 11 holes-in-one."
They guy clearly missed his calling. Should have gone pro instead of being a dictator.

That’s ridiculous.
The crop of guys behind Scottie right now would absolutely murder the crop of guys that were behind Tiger during his day.

Somewhat quietly, Padraig Harrington was one of the best of that era. Picked up 3 majors in 2007-2008. David Duval was considered Tigers biggest challenger until injuries derailed his career and he lost his game trying to come back from them.
Still, Tiger was way better than anyone in the field. Golf is funny that there always seems to be one guy that is playing far above the field. How long they can maintain it is the question. Spieth and Keopka had runs where they looked better than anyone out there. What's amazing about Tiger and Jack is just how long they were able to maintain that high level of play.

This is ridiculous. Fields are deeper now but Tigers fields were certainly deeper top to bottom over the greats of decades prior to Tiger.
Phil, Vijay Ernie, David Duval, Sergio, Couples, Toms, Goosen, Langer, Furyk, Montgomerie, Love, O'Meara, Leonard, Striker Westwood, etc.
That's not even counting overlapping careers with hall of fame guys from the begging and end of Tigers dominant era. Which would include guys like McIlroy Rose, Donald, Johnson, etc.

Tiger's career record of whores banged surely will last a while.

I appreciate what Lord Byron did for the game, but this is one of my most overrated golf statistics. He did this during war time when both Hogan and Snead were serving in our military.
I think Jug McSpaden and Sammy Byrd were runners up for like 7 of those 11 events so it’s not like he was playing in the deepest of fields.
And it wasn't just those two, either. A huge chunk of the guys who could consistently challenge week and in and week out were in the service in some form. Jimmy Demaret, Lloyd Mangrum, Jack Fleck, etc.

Nine of those are already in the Hall of Fame
And the Golf Hall of Fame is pretty exclusive given they only induct a few people every other year. And he competed in his prime against other hall of famers I forgot about. To say his competition was trash is ridiculous.

So…3 of the best players of all time?

Who currently playing is definitively better than those guys?
Scottie, Rory, maybe Rahm?

Not a record, but a pretty mind blowing stat

yet Tiger managed to come back, at 44 years old, from spinal fusion surgery to finish 2nd in the FedEx Cup his first year back and then won the Masters against all these dudes that are so much better than the guys behind him during his prime.

He did have some pretty stupid runs.
In 2006, he finished 2nd in a tournament then won 7 straight events.
Then, later in 2007, he won 2 straight (one of them being the PGA), finished 2nd, then won 5 straight events (one of them being the Tour Championship), then finished 5th, 2nd (in the Masters), then won the US Open, before his season ended with the knee injury. In total, that's 8 wins in 11 starts with 2 runner up finishes.
So basically, from the Western Open in 2006 through the US Open in 2008 he won 17 tournaments in 29 starts with 4 runner up finishes. He only finished outside the top 5 six times.
But yeah, no one is ever touching 11 straight wins. There's way too much talent in the fields for that to ever happen again.
