🚨 GOAT CHECKPOINT 🚨
First 143 PGA TOUR starts:
🐻 Jack Nicklaus
➡️ 25 Wins
➡️ 6 Majors
➡️ 98 Top-10s
🐅 Tiger Woods
➡️ 34 Wins
➡️ 8 Majors
➡️ 84 Top-10s
Jack was the Top-10 machine. Tiger was the win factory.
And this is BEFORE Tiger went on a three-win tear in just five starts to hit 37 wins at 148. 🤯
But here’s the plot twist…
👉 Jack closed strong. He didn’t stop at 6 majors — he kept stacking titles and finished his career with 18 majors, the all-time record, edging Tiger’s final tally of 15.
