Going by the numbers, Morikawa looks slightly ahead of Tiger as the 24-year-old has won two majors, a WGC, and has more earnings than Tiger in equal starts. However, it is crucial to note that during the initial years of Tiger Woods, the prize money wasn’t high as these days.
Moreover, it was Tiger Woods who brought millions of dollars in the game with his unfathomable skills. Also, when it comes to WGC events, they started in 1999, which means Tiger did not play a single WGC event in the first three years of his career.
