Is this the most impressive golf record nearly 80 years later?! Why did a golf record set in 1945 become more impressive as decades passed when most records eventually fall? Byron Nelson, a humble Texan, accomplished something so extraordinary that even Tiger Woods at his absolute peak couldn’t touch it. In a single season, Nelson won 11 consecutive PGA tournaments, a streak of dominance unmatched in any major sport. For context, the second-longest PGA winning streak is just six tournaments. What makes this record truly remarkable wasn’t just the wins, but how Nelson achieved them. He finished 118 under par across those tournaments and won by an average margin of nearly 7 strokes. Most golf fans today don’t realize Nelson did this while planning to retire to become a rancher. In fact, he walked away from competitive golf the very next year at just 34 years old, leaving behind a record that has stood untouched for almost 80 years despite modern advantages in equipment, training, and prize money.
