Tiger Woods 2000

[Arthur Wedge]

During the build up to the US Open they talked about the season Woods had in 2000




Unreal

3 majors

9 wins

Is there ever a season that comes close to it ?


And what about in other sports - anything to rival it

Should bookmark this page. Can redirect anyone here when they start talking about Sheffler’s dominance

 

[hairball_89]

there's a stat which I will butcher, but it is something like between 1999 and 2003, Tiger had 1800 ish putts at 3ft or under. he missed THREE.

I get a little bored with people gushing over him, but his dominance won't be seen again. that isn't in question.

And he only scraped through to win the US Open by 15 shots.

I feel very privileged that I watched him win the Open at St Andrews that year, following him around the course on Sunday was special.

Wow... That is unbelievable...
Glad you put that up, I certainly never realised he was THAT dominant during that season... .
I doubt very much anyone is ever going to match it.... Ever..

One of the most mind boggling stats about Tigers Woods is from 1997-2013, he was -126 in the majors. His nearest rival was +125.

It's such a shame he became obsessed with all that SEAL training stuff which wrecked his knee and started all the fitness issues. He should've had 30+ majors.

Sky are showing a program about the yesr

I really want to think or some sporting dominance that can compare to Tiger in 2000, but I'm not sure there is anything. Possibly Man Utd's treble, but none of those trophies came with the total dominance that we saw from Tiger - Arsenal should have beaten them in the FA Cup semi, the League went to the final day of the season, and we all know what happened in that final against Bayern Munich.

Even the incredible Aussie cricket team from 25 years ago suffered the odd bloody nose.

In 95/96, Hendry won the triple crown (UK, Masters, Worlds) in the same season... But I don't know how dominant he was in those?

Maybe some of the mickey mouse football leagues where one team is much bigger than all the others, e.g. Scotland.

Dominating for one year in something more physically demanding than golf might only be 1, 2 or 3 events in a year, eg boxing, athletics.

That was a fantastic year for Tiger. His dominance was also a period of years.

Someone who was comparable was Sergei Bubka.

World Championship record and the number of times he set a new world record.




He wasn't daft. There was a "reward" for setting a new world record, so he did not want to beat it by very much!
11 years competing and 29cm increase in height - nearly a foot.

Shame he became obsessed with a few other things as well

Couple of motorsport examples but I realise they can be a special case as it's only really a level playing field against your teammate.

Nigel Mansell in 1992
14 wins (plus one second) from 16 starts
9/16 pole positions.
8/16 fastest laps.

Sebastien Ogier in 2013, 2014 and 2015
25 wins (and 6 second places) from 39 starts

Phil Taylor was pretty dominant in darts for a few years. Some might say it’s not a sport but whatever it is he was the best for a very long time.

Davis then hendrey in snooker. Nadal on clay. Man U under fergie, Taylor in darts.
Plenty of examples from other sports.

 

[Orikoru]

Nadal at Roland Garros.

Any of them have the same level of dominance in one single year ?

Yes.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Yes.

Happy to see some examples ? To give some context for it

Nadal 2010
Undefeated in 22 clay court matches and won 3 majors on 3 different surfaces

Nadal 2010
Undefeated in 22 clay court matches and won 3 majors

So he won 7 events that year including 3 slams so it’s close
