Most Dominant PGA Performances

Golf is a game of skill, strategy, and sometimes even luck. But when it comes to the major championships, a golfer's performance is what truly sets them apart from the rest. In this article, we'll take a look at some of the most dominant performances in major championship history and the statistics that made them unforgettable.

First on the list, we have Tiger Woods' historic victory at the 2000 U.S. Open. This was Woods' first U.S. Open win and it was done in spectacular fashion. Tiger shot a 12-under-par 272 and set a new record for the lowest 72-hole score in relation to par at a U.S. Open. He also won by a record 15 strokes, the largest margin of victory in the tournament's history. Woods' U.S. Open victory solidified his position as the world's number one golfer.

Next, we have Jack Nicklaus' dominant performance at the 1972 Masters. Nicklaus shot a 271 (-17) and won by nine strokes, which was the largest margin of victory in the tournament's history at that point. He also set the 72-hole record for the lowest score in relation to par and became the first golfer to win the Masters in consecutive years. This win cemented Nicklaus' status as the greatest golfer of his era.

Third, we have Rory McIlroy's record-breaking performance at the 2011 U.S. Open. Rory shot a 16-under-par 268 and set new records for the lowest score in relation to par, the lowest 72-hole score and the largest margin of victory at a U.S. Open. He also became the youngest U.S. Open champion since Bobby Jones in 1923 and tied the record for the lowest 72-hole score in any major championship.

Lastly, we have Tiger Woods' win at the 1997 Masters. This was Tiger's first major championship victory and he set several records in the process. He became the youngest Masters champion in history at 21 years old and set a new 72-hole scoring record of 270 (-18). He also won by a record 12 strokes, making it the largest margin of victory in a major championship.
