‘Greatest Athlete to Ever Live’: Tiger Woods’ Rare Admission Goes Viral as Fans Get Nostalgic Over Jon Rahm’s Incredible Revelation

Winning a golf tournament seemed easy when Tiger Woods was in his prime. With his 82 titles on the PGA Tour and other international victories, he rewrote history many times in his career. As a young and talented player who wanted to dominate the professional world, Spanish golfer Jon Rahm once asked the golf legend a simple yet meaningful question. And his answer has been currently getting the acknowledgment it deserves from fans. 

Jon Rahm’s story about Tiger Woods made fans admire him more 

It is true that when it comes to confidence, nobody can beat Woods in the golf world. Since the beginning of his career, he has never underestimated himself or shown any weakness. However, that doesn’t mean the golfer has always liked his performance. The current world no. 1’s story about him is an example of it.

All Rahm asked Woods was one question, “how many times do you think you played your best all four days?” Notably, the American legend has won more than 100 titles worldwide. However, Rahm wanted to specifically know about his PGA Tour career wins, according to his press meet ahead of the 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational. 

“And he (Woods) said,” the 1-time major champion revealed, “three at most.” Moreover, he explained, “a lot of those Sundays he played his best, but the whole week, very few.”

The 2023 Genesis Invitational champion’s story about Tiger Woods has attracted many fans. They found the golf legend’s honest confession to the young golfer interesting and expressed it through comments when Golf Digest posted it on Instagram:

“Tiger stories don’t get old.”

“I wonder on average how often a tour player says they play their best. We know golfers are always recounting what could have been post round.”

“Tiger really is just different. No one will ever be they close to him! Ever!”

“But the fact that he said 3 at most and he was THAT dominant proves he’s the greatest athlete to ever live…”

“Pebble beach US Open and 2007 Southern Hills.” 

“Everyone saying 97 masters but the guy shot 40 on the front…. He’s different.”

“All 3 in 2000.”

“US open at Pebble. What were the other 2?!?”

Many praised Tiger for his personality and golfing talent with their comments. While others tried to guess whichever tournament he might have counted in which he played his best four rounds. 

What are the three wins Woods thought he played the best in?

When the reporters asked Jon Rahm to reveal which are those events, he explained he asked Woods the same question. According to him, he guessed them as the U.S. Open and the Open Championship of 2000, which the 15-time major winner agreed to. However, Woods didn’t reveal the third one. 

Rahm thinks one of his 2000 titles would be the third one in Tiger’s mind. Do you agree with it? Let us know which one you think Tiger Woods played the best in all four rounds.
