Alright, so I wanted to figure out Tiger Woods’ golf handicap. I’m a huge golf fan, and Tiger is, well, Tiger. Knowing his handicap just feels like essential knowledge, you know?
First, I hit up Google. Just a quick search, nothing fancy. I typed in “Tiger Woods golf handicap” and scrolled through the first few results.
I found some articles talking about it, some older, some newer. It seemed like his handicap fluctuates, which makes sense, right? He’s had injuries and times when he’s played more or less.
Digging Deeper
I noticed a lot of the information was a bit all over the place. Some sources were saying one thing, others were saying something different. So I decided to look for more “official” sources, if possible.
- I checked out a couple of golf news sites that I usually trust.
- Also, I tried to find interviews or press conferences where he might have mentioned it himself.
It’s tough because, unlike regular amateur golfers, pros like Tiger don’t always maintain an official handicap in the same way. It’s more about tournament scores and rankings.
I learned that a good estimate of Tiger’s handicap when he’s playing his best is somewhere around +6 to +8. That’s “plus,” meaning he’s that good. He’s basically giving strokes to the course, not the other way around. Insane, right?
I also read that after some of his surgeries and time off, his handicap might have temporarily been a bit higher (meaning closer to zero, or even a “scratch” golfer, which is still incredible). But when he’s on, he’s on another level.
Ultimately, I realized there’s no single, definitive answer. It varies. I did get what I think is a good range of his handicap from different sources.
So, the mission was kind of accomplished! I got a pretty good idea of Tiger’s handicap range, even if there isn’t one perfect number. It was cool to go down that rabbit hole and learn a bit more about how the pros operate.
