Tiger Woods is one of the most successful professional athletes on the planet and there’s truly never been a golfer like him. There’s nothing I can say about Tiger’s competitive prowess that hasn’t been said before so I’ll instead list off some of his achievements…
Big Cat is tied for 1st all time on the PGA Tour with 82 career wins over 24 years. He’s tied with Sam Snead who had a 30-year PGA Tour career. Tiger Woods ranks 3rd all time on the European Tour with 41 wins. He also has 3 Japanese Tour wins, 2 Asian Tour W’s, 3 Australasia wins, and 17 ‘other’ wins.
And then of course there are the majors. Tiger Woods only trails Jack Nicklaus for Most Majors Win. Jack has 18 majors and TW has 15 including 5 Masters, 3 U.S. Opens, 3 Open Championships, and 4 PGA Championships. That’s a LOT of trophies. And while Tiger Woods was playing in the J.P. McManus Pro-Am in Ireland ahead of the Open Championship, he was asked about how he displays those at home.
Tiger Woods Described His Trophy Case And It’s The Biggest Flex
Tiger’s answer was an even bigger flex than Tom Brady’s custom Super Bowl golf balls displaying every year he’s won a title. Here’s what Big Cat had to say…
Tiger Woods: “I have four shelves and so I’ve been lucky enough because I have four shelves, each one has their own section. They have their own row.”
What a flex. pic.twitter.com/UoLX601cXG

Golf fans agree, this is a MASSIVE flex from Big Cat

This is great in comparison to hearing @JustinThomas34 getting that second trophy up on the mantle…meanwhile, Tiger’s got rows of shelves. Do we think TW has needled JT about this? 😂

Tiger Woods has also won 14 of his 15 majors using the same Scotty Cameron putter. That’s arguably the biggest flex in any golfer’s bag on the planet.

Only five golfers in history have won the Career Grand Slam, winning all four majors at some point. Those golfers are Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Ben Hogan, Gary Player and Gene Sarazen. Meaning only five golfers in history could successfully pull off this 4 shelf display and that’s not even including Tiger’s amateur trophies and his hundreds of other trophies.

I mentioned Tom Brady’s custom Super Bowl golf balls. In case you’ve never seen those, here they are:
Hey @TomBrady we are a couple holes behind you. Would you like this back? pic.twitter.com/OyPZ7ibDDR

Those are incredible. Don’t get me wrong. They’re just not as big of a flex as Tiger Woods need FOUR SHELVES to hold all of his major trophies.
And now that we’ve heard about Tiger’s display we need to see some footage of it. I’d also love to see how Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Roger Federer display their trophies at home…
