Hooked on Huskers Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I still maintain Tiger will win one more major (not a US Open though) but yikes his short game is rusty. Too lazy to search .... what's the oldest winner in major championship ? Jack (Master)? Tiger is 38 I believe. I say he will never win a major because prone injuries (torque extremes) and wild swings ala John Daly. Quote Link to comment

Julius Boros: 1968 PGA Championship, 48 years, 4 months, 18 days Jack Nicklaus: 1986 Masters, 46 years, 2 months, 23 days Old Tom Morris: 1867 British Open, 46 years, 99 days Jerry Barber: 1961 PGA Championship, 45 Years, 3 months, 6 days Hale Irwin: 1990 U.S. Open, 45 years, 15 days old Lee Trevino: 1984 PGA Championship, 44 years, 8 months, 18 days Roberto de Vicenzo: 1967 British Open, 44 years, 93 days Harry Vardon: 1914 British Open, 44 years, 41 days Raymond Floyd: 1986 U.S. Open, 43 years, 9 months, 11 days Ted Ray: 1920 U.S. Open, 43 years, 4 months, 16 days old ============== Tiger wouldn't even be in the top 20. So I guess he still has time to mount a comeback. Kind of doubt if he does though. Quote Link to comment
Hooked on Huskers Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Retirement from competitive golf at 40 years old or earlier. Tiger will join ESPN/Golf/TNT/CBS/ABC/NBC commentator. Or else star at porn XXX movies. Quote Link to comment

Boros suffered a fatal heart attack in 1994 on the golf course at the Coral Ridge Country Club in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He was found sitting in a golf cart under a willow tree by two club members at 16th hole, his favorite spot on the course. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 There are 3 players currently under age 50 with 20+ @PGATOUR wins. Tiger has 9 MC as pro. Phil has 70, Ernie Els has 55. LINK Stat of the Century (updated): Tiger Woods has 79 career wins and 10 missed cuts. 79 wins and 10 missed cuts. That is absolutely wild. Nobody else comes even remotely close to that stat.

Mavric Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 According to the BBC's Andrew Cotter, 10 years ago Rory McIlroy's father, Gerry, and three friends made a legal bet of 400 British pounds (100 each, equivalent to $170.87 currently) that the then-15-year-old would win the Open Championship by the age of 26. On Sunday, the Northern Irishman will be 25 years, 2 months and 16 days, meaning his father and friends would collect 200,000 pounds (roughly $341,730). Though the bet actually stipulated that the younger McIlroy would win by the time he was 25, Cotter confirmed that even though McIlroy's 25th birthday has passed, the wager still counts as he has not yet turned 26.
