Tiger Woods once did something so impressive on the PGA Tour that Tommy Fleetwood was left stunned.
Woods is widely regarded as the best player of all time, and he has the joint most wins in the history of the PGA Tour, with 82 to his name.
The 49-year-old won 15 major championships throughout his career as well, and one round he played six years ago left Fleetwood in awe of his talent.
Even Scottie Scheffler has admitted that comparisons between himself and Woods are ‘silly’, such was the 15-time major champion’s dominance during his peak.

The 82-time PGA Tour winner had a knack of surprising his fellow PGA Tour players at times with his peerless performances.
What Tiger Woods did on the PGA Tour in 2019 stunned Tommy Fleetwood
Fleetwood played alongside Woods in the third round of the ZOZO Championship in 2019.
The 49-year-old went on to win the event by three strokes, but it was his third round 66 that really blew Fleetwood away.
The Englishman was speaking on the Rick Shiels Golf Show back in 2021 about Tiger’s prowess on the golf course.
And he raved about what he witnessed Woods do at the ZOZO in 2019.
Fleetwood said: “It was probably the best round of golf I’ve ever watched.
“He hit shot after shot that was perfect and I was having one of those days where I was playing distinctly average, I’m grafting away to be around par or 1-over.”
“At the end of the day, he taps in for his 66, nine birdies in his last 15 holes and he cruised to it. I shook his hand and I said, ‘that was really good today Tiger’.

“Then he looked at me, he winked and he went ‘How ’bout that huh?’ He knows he’s played well there, so that must be very, very good.
“He is so self-focused. It’s not that you don’t feel part of his round of golf, if he wants to talk he’ll talk, but he’s got that amazing focus that he’s always had and it almost makes it easier for you.“
Tiger Woods’ incredible PGA Tour record
Woods’ record on the PGA Tour is truly incredible.
He finished inside the top-10 in more than 50% of the tournaments he played, and he won more than 20% of the events he played.
It’s such a shame that Woods has suffered so badly with injuries over the past 15 years or so.
He would have undoubtedly won many more tournaments and, indeed, major championships had he remained healthy.
Still though, Woods will go down as one of the two best players to have ever graced the game, alongside Jack Nicklaus.
And the truth is that many people would put him right at the top of the list.
