How many eagles and birdies does Tiger Woods make?
The simple answer is – a lot, as these figures, compiled from his official PGA Tour record, will confirm.
But, for the eagles at least, perhaps not quite as many as you imagine, given those booming drives and his often radar-like putting. In his best eagle season he made 19; in his least prolific year, just 4. Perhaps it just seems like more, because they stick in our minds.
His birdie record is quite specatular, however. Never worse than third on Tour in birdies per round in the seven years the ranking has been published, and a career average of nearly 4½ birdies per round.
