Tiger Woods is synonymous with golf. There are many legends who have made history in the sport, and perhaps Woods did not quite defeat them all, but he single-handedly set too many unbreakable records. His superhuman streaks of cuts and wins have left the golf world stunned.

However difficult it may be for golfers to take on Tiger Woods’ records, there are some rising stars who come close to individual goals. One LIV Golfer came the closest to his PGA Tour win streak. Let’s find out who he is.

The story behind Tiger Woods’ insane winning streak

Back in 1999 and 2000, when Tiger Woods was still a rookie, he had the longest streak of PGA Tour wins with 6 consecutive title grabs. He won 9 titles in total that year but his consecutive run on the PGA Tour was awe-inspiring.

In the 2006-07 season, sadly, the GOAT of Golf faced a personal tragedy when his father passed away on the 3rd of May. Once the epic golfer made peace with his grief over losing the man he idolized, he clinched the Open Championship title at Royal Liverpool with 18-under par in honor of his father. He followed that victory with an amazing run of 6 more wins on the PGA Tour that season; 7 if we include the European Tour victory as well.

There is a lot of speculation about LIV Golfers being unable to meet the competition on the cut-throat PGA Tour. However, DJ managed almost half the record of Tiger Woods, a legend whose name is never taken lightly. Even though the two-time Major winner defected to LIV Golf, the legacy he left behind is untarnished.

Dustin Johnson remains a force despite defecting to LIV Golf

The Cheetah has always been a force to be reckoned with regardless of which circuit he plays in. Winning three consecutive tournaments on the PGA Tour is not a simple feat. Nor is it easy to walk away from that sort of legacy.

Dustin Johnson currently plays on the LIV Golf circuit and is the captain of the 4Aces. Recently he made it to the top 10 at the 2023 US Open. Despite being a LIV Golfer, he is the only member of the golfing world to almost do what Tiger Woods did. He was able to do what no one on the PGA Tour has done since. What are your thoughts on Tiger Woods’ streak? Share your thoughts and comments with us below.
