Tiger’s run is even crazier when you consider the guys he was beating every week.

What course?

Peak of power Tiger started Thursday morning 3 shots up on that murderers row due to his mental game. Sensei-level mastery. 2005, 100%.

The 2015 crew is definitely weak, but yall are really sleeping on the 2025 crew. I’d bet that in 10 years we’ll look back on this set of players and see that they would have been more equally matched against the 2005 team then yall are giving them credit for.

Spieth used to be 1? What the hell happened?

Crazy that Adam Scott was still in the top 20 to start 2025.

I’d make a scramble team of 2005 Woods Singh Mickelson Els and bet the farm.

2015 was a moment!

The people on this sub would be inclined to say that Tiger in his prime playing his own ball would beat the top ten in the world today playing a scramble

Crazy stat from this is that Justin Rose broke into the top 10 in 2007. Probably the closest guy to being in all 3 of the snapshots in this post.

Rosey and Rory only players on 2 lists.

2005 but 2025 is close

2005 team all day and twice on Sundays. Vijay and els and FIGJAM were soooo good and overshadowed in that era.

I can’t believe some of the names in the current top 10.

2005 and I’m not sure it’s close
surgeon_michael
2015 the way they played in 2015? Those guys had insane shot making. 2005 in a standard tournament and 2015 in a Ryder cup

Worth noting that living legend Justin Rose first entered the OWGR top 10 IN 2007 and here he is in 2025, 18 years later, still at the top level.
mickjerker
I’d say it’s pretty cool that Justin Rose and Rory stayed ranking in the top 10 for a decade.

I’m very confident that 2005 team could beat 2015 team today

Circa 2005 wins 10&8

Ok now do 1965 and 1975 if you really want to see star power. And yes I realize they didn’t have official rankings then. True golden age of golf.

Right? People would feel a lot differently about the current crew if it were listed as: 1. Scottie 2. Rory 3. X 4. Rahm 5. Bryson 6. Tommy 7. Henley 8. Hatton 9. Hovland 10. Niemann

Interesting how I look at the 2005 list and think that’s dead accurate. Then I look at 2025 and besides Scottie don’t really believe it. Must be biased

Tiger wins vs everyone. Alone.

2005 is very too heavy it would be too much to overcome for any other team to overcome.

Fuck Sergio Garcia.

With it specifically being match play I think that it’s closer than a lot of commenters are thinking.
I’m dismissing 2025 out of hand because that’s not actually the best 10 players in the world, no disrespect to anyone on that list. It’s weak.
I think that 2015 and 2005 are closer in match play than they are in stroke play.

I don’t think athletes get worse over time. Whether it’s NBA players, MMA fighters, golfers, etc. You can really only compare them to their era. I think we let nostalgia blind us a bit.

2025 and it ain’t even close.
Tiger Woods pub stomps his opponent, but the 2025 squad is so much better overall As long as they are led by someone semi-competent
marvinfuture
Clearly not the team with Zach Johnson. He’d tell Jordan to club down in an important shot
riosborne
Man I thought Justin rose was gonna be on all 3. What career that mans had.
shadycoy0303
Hot take: Tiger would not have dominated today’s tour the same way he dominated in the early 2000s.

I’d pay good money to see 2005 Tiger and 2025 Scottie go head to head

2005 is god tier.
2005 all day long…

Current 5-15 is the worst 5-15 has ever been
Tigers squad wins easy.
2005 had some absolute dawgs.
2005 > 2015 > 2025
