10 Crazy Tiger Woods Stats + More - Justin Ray NLU

Bit of an excerpt from and article about Tiger on the European Tour (written back in 2013 so some facts may have changed by now)

"Montgomerie’s run winning seven consecutive Order of Merit titles in the ’90s would have ended a year early if Woods’ were a member. Woods actually led the European Tour in earnings in ’99, 2000, ’02, ’05, ’06 and ’07, but he wasn’t eligible for the Order of Merit because he wasn’t a member.

Two years ago, Luke Donald was credited as the first player to win the PGA Tour money title and European Order of Merit in the same season. Woods actually would have done that six times if he had been a European Tour member those years.

Woods was credited for winning a European Tour event over 12 consecutive years (1998-2009).

While much is made of Woods’ pursuit of Sam Snead’s PGA Tour record 82 titles, and Jack Nicklaus’ record 18 professional major championship titles, Woods is also sneaking up on Seve Ballesteros’ record 50 European Tour titles. Bernhard Langer (42) is second behind Ballesteros with Woods third.
Yeah, if Tiger passes Seve on the Euro Tour win list, there is probably an asterisk in order. Woods, after all, has won 29 of his 40 “European Tour” titles in the United States."
