Tiger Woods’ already-historic PGA Tour career turned 300 at The Players Championship this weekend, and with that anniversary comes yet another measuring stick by which to judge today’s top-ranked golfer against the world’s greatest players that have preceded him.

In golf, numbers tell the tale whether it’s that of a hole, round, season and, yes, even career. This past Thursday, Tiger made the 300th start of his impressive 17-year campaign on the Tour at its most signature event, and a look at his own personal numbers again demonstrate there’s never been a player quite like him in the history of professional golf as of this very moment in his career.
