Published

Oct 24, 2017

Tiger Woods has won 14 majors and 79 PGA Tour events throughout his career. It’s not simply that he won so many events, however, but HOW he won them. Woods has an indescribable flair for the dramatic, charisma that’s simply unmatched in golfing history, and he often did what seemed impossible with a golf club and a golf ball; usually with the tournament on the line, too.

The moments that Woods has etched in our memories as golfing fans are unforgettable. In order to figure out his best, we gathered a list of our top-20 moments from Woods’ career, and asked our GolfWRX members to pick three of their favorites.

We then tallied up the votes to determine the top-10, and ultimately, his greatest moment. Below are the results, in order.

See the full poll and comments from GolfWRX Members.

Lights out, Firestone (2.59 percent of votes)

The fairway bunker shot (4.44 percent)

“Better than most… How bout in?” (5.93 percent)

Woods beats Stephen Ames 9&8 (6.11 percent)

(3 minutes, 29 seconds)

Tiger Slam (6.30 percent)

The Point (6.48 percent)

(Skip to 1 minute 39 seconds for “The Point.”)

Pebble Breeze (8.70 percent)

(Just watch the entire video.)

THE 1997 Masters (12.41 percent)

“Expect anything different?!” (16.85 percent)

Swoosh on the Lip (21.85 percent)

And an alternate view, because why not?

Gas: $165
Entry Fee: $130
Lounge Pass for caddie: $50
Gym: $0
Yardage book: $0
Total expenses: $3672

Made cut, finished 54th, total earned: $1244 Factor in 35% tax on earnings. To break even, needed to finish 24th. To make money, 21st. Guess we have our goals laid out for next event!”

When factoring in Gregg’s free housing, free caddie and free rental car, it’s evident that most LET players would have to finish well inside of the top-20 to make any money.

With ridiculous amounts of money being thrown around in professional golf these days, it’s important to remember the other side of the coin as well. There are countless professionals out there who struggle to get by on their golf salary.

After a seventeen-month application process, a 54-hole golf tour was deemed eligible for OWGR points.

Unfortunately, for LIV Golf and their fans, it was the Clutch Pro Tour.

After the decision, which is effective immediately, OWGR chairman Peter Dawson issued a statement.

“This is a significant milestone for golf, and OWGR is deeply encouraged by the achievement and the continued efforts in developing the sport of golf in the United Kingdom.”

“We look forward to watching the progress of the Clutch Pro Tour as it continues to play a key role in the development of players from the region,” Dawson added.

Charlie Woods attempting to qualify for spot at 2024 U.S. Open

As first reported by Bob Harig of Sports Illustrated, Charlie Woods will be attempting to qualify for this year’s U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2.

The first stage of qualifying for this year’s tournament will be an 18-hole local event on Thursday, April 25th, in Port St. Lucie, Florida.

There will be 84 players in the field, five of which will reach the 36-hole qualifier that will take place in June.

Earlier this season, Charlie attempted to qualify for the Cognizant Classic, and struggled, shooting an 86.

If the younger Woods is able to qualify, he will tee it up in the same field as his father in a few months at one of the more historic U.S. Open venues.
