Alright, let’s jaw about this Tiger Woods fella and his golf scores, you know, the low ones. Folks keep askin’, what’s the best Tiger ever done on them 18 holes? Well, I heard tell he’s had a bunch of rounds, like nine of ’em, where he got a 62 or even better. That’s somethin’ ain’t it?
Now, they say his lowest, the real tippy-top best, is a 61. Yep, 61! He done that not once, but four times! First time was way back in 1999 at somethin’ called the Byron Nelson. Then again in 2000 at the WGC somethin’-or-other, and then again in 2005 at the Buick Open. And wouldn’t ya know it, he did it again in 2013 at the Bridgestone. That boy sure likes them fancy tournaments.
Tiger’s Top Scores
- 1999 Byron Nelson: 61
- 2000 WGC-NEC Invitational: 61
- 2005 Buick Open: 61
- 2013 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational: 61
I hear folks talkin’ ’bout a 59. Seems like he ain’t never got one of them in a real tournament, not officially anyway. He tied his best, that 61, at some Bridgestone thing a while back, and they said it tied the course record. So, he’s darn good, but not quite a 59-er yet.
But listen to this, Tiger himself, he says he got a 59 once, but nobody saw it! Said it was the best golfin’ he ever done, even better than when he won that Masters thing by a mile back in ’97. That win, they say, was a big deal for golf, changed things up good. But that 59, that was his personal best, even if it don’t count on the books.
Speakin’ of the Masters, that’s a tough one. They say nobody’s ever shot under 60 there, not even Tiger. He’s made the cut there a whole bunch of times though, like 24 times in a row. That means he played good enough to keep playin’ on the weekend. He even shot a 72 once, just even-par, and still made the cut. That course, Augusta, it ain’t no joke.
Now, golf, it ain’t always about the low scores. Sometimes you have a bad day, real bad. I heard tell of a fella, Reasor his name was, shot a 123 one day and a 114 the next! But that wasn’t his fault, they say he only had one arm! Can you imagine? Makes you appreciate Tiger’s 61 a whole lot more, don’t it?
And get this, that Tiger fella, he’s won more money than anybody in golf history. Yep, more than anybody! That’s a whole lotta greenbacks just for hittin’ a little white ball around. He must be doin’ somethin’ right, huh?
Key things to remember about Tiger’s scores:
- Lowest official score: 61 (four times)
- Claims to have shot a 59 in a non-tournament round
- Never shot below 60 in a major championship like The Masters
- Made the cut 24 consecutive times at The Masters
So, there ya have it. Tiger’s scores, the good, the bad, and the unheard of. He’s a heck of a golfer, that’s for sure. Whether it’s a 61 in a big tournament or a secret 59, that boy can sure swing a club. And all that money he’s won? Well, that just proves it, don’t it? He’s the best there ever was, at least in my book. And I’ve seen a whole lot of golfin’ in my day, even if it was mostly on the TV.
Folks always comparing fellas, saying who’s the best and all. This one hit a ball further, that one made a putt longer. But Tiger, he’s different. He’s got this look, this… I don’t know… this way of makin’ the hard stuff look easy. And them scores, well, they speak for themselves, don’t they? 61 four times. That ain’t no accident.
Now, I ain’t no expert, but I know good golf when I see it. And Tiger, he’s the real deal. He’s had his ups and downs, sure, but he always comes back swingin’. And that’s what makes a champion, ain’t it? Keeps on keepin’ on, no matter what.
