Golf Digest — But how has Spieth's performance been relative to golf's current best players?
Let's say Spieth wins this week at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions (he's tied for first through three rounds with Webb Simpson and Dustin Johnson), that would mean that through 25 official PGA Tour events as a pro, including majors, Spieth would have two wins, three seconds, 10 top 10s and 15 top 25s.
Here's how that compares to the first 25 PGA Tour events as a pro of each of the current top six players in the World Ranking:
The asterisk by Tiger's name denotes that one of his six PGA Tour wins was a major -- the 1997 Masters -- and all but ensures that his performance in his first 25 events as a pro far surpasses any of the others players, perhaps ever.
But behind Tiger, it's hard to look past Spieth.
