Bubba Watson makes absolutely bonkers statement about Tiger Woods’ historic 2000 season
Bubba Watson recently shared his thoughts on Tiger’s legendary 2000 season—and dropped a take so wild, the 15-time major winner likely won’t be too happy about it.
The two-time Masters champ recently sat down with Sean Zak of Golf.com to discuss a wide variety of topics. But, not surprisingly, it’s this humdinger of a take that’s making the rounds on Golf Twitter. Have a listen for yourself:
Wow. Just wow. “I know Tiger did some stuff in 2000, but . . . ” Talk about the understatement of all time! That’s like saying “Secretariat did some stuff in 1973”
Watson was clearly trying to praise Scottie Scheffler for his incredible season last year—and to be fair, it was incredible. His argument that Scheffler faced stronger, deeper competition isn’t totally off base. But let’s not forget: Tiger Woods in 2000 was on another level entirely.
We didn’t think we’d need to revisit this, but just in case—let’s break it down. In 2000, Woods entered 20 PGA Tour events and won nine of them. Scheffler, last year, notched seven wins in 19 starts, plus victories at the Olympics and the Hero World Challenge. Statistically, it’s close. But now, channel your inner Stephen A. Smith and say it with us: “HOWEVAH!”
Woods won three majors compared to Scheffler’s one. And two of those were absolute dominations. He crushed the field by 15 shots at the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach and then followed that with an eight-shot win at St. Andrews. Just unreal.
So yes, Bubba, you could say he “did some stuff.” Honestly, we shouldn’t have to remind golf fans of this. Shaking our heads. SMH.
