The world of music and golf can sometimes collide in the most unique ways. While Tiger Woods is a golf giant in the sports world, Taylor Swift is one of the biggest musical sensations in popular culture. But why are their names next to each other?
Kudos to SB Nation, who recently released a list of PGA tour’s biggest names and paired them next to Taylor Swift’s albums. Tiger Woods stood next to ‘Reputation’ because “regardless of the past, Woods prevails as one of the most beloved golfers ever.” Considering this, who do you think will win a debate between them?

Woods is an inspiration to many up-and-coming golfers. Those who are already on the tour also look up to him. In fact, he is the guiding light of the American team for the Ryder Cup 2023, as Zach Johnson aims to keep Tiger close on a call throughout.
And Taylor Swift cedes a lot in her songs. She conveys the need to be independent, and her songs’ themes of self-respect, love, and autonomy are very clear. Perhaps that’s why many resonate with her and the lyrics. However, to make things interesting, a war between them came through.
Fore Play posted a collage of the two giants in their respective fields and wrote, “Who’s more famous: Tiger Woods or Taylor Swift?” The post’s caption read, “Thoughts,” and the golf and entertainment world collided in the comments section.

Amid his absence from competitive golf and Ryder Cup preparations due to injuries and PGA Tour duties, Tiger Woods is surely making some headlines. And when it’s alongside the queen Taylor Swift, it makes us wonder whether he listens to her songs or not. Irrespective of that, the golf world does.
People did make a choice between the two
The Twitter fandom came together on the post about Tiger Woods and Taylor Swift and chose their favorite. And you might not be able to guess who is winning!
Due to his absence, Tiger Woods is losing out on some fans.
If tiger was currently peak tiger it would be tiger, but in todays climate I gotta give it to Taylor

Getting very technical and favoring music over golf, an enthusiast commented:
As much as I love Tiger that’s simply not true. Music will always dominate golf, unfortunately. Also the demographic range of Taylor Swift is unreal. Even a peak Tiger demographic wouldn’t compare

Tiger Woods in his prime was a mega-star. Maybe not so much now?
It’s Taylor and it isn’t particularly close, maybe at his prime you could argue Tiger

A lot of fans of Taylor Swift gathered. But it seems like at some point, they would have chosen Woods over anyone else.
T Swift takes it now, but five years ago, Tiger dominated the 🌐 .

A comparison between them is a comparison between music and sports. That’s how huge their impact is! And Swift seems to be beating Woods with “713 Million search results.”
Unfortunately, Taylor Swift is. If you look up her name in Google their are 713 million results, whereas Tiger only has 145 million. Music, in general, covers the whole world more than the sport of golf does.
