Subject: Has tiger ever won 30 PGA events in 3 years? - Hogan did


According to wiki:

1946 - 13 victories (including 1 major)

1947 - 7 victories ( no majors)

1948 - 10 victories ( 2 majors)

5 of the events were 4-balls where he was teamed with Demeret but
that's ok. That's what they did back then. Hogan was really really
good until the car crash in 1949. Clearly his best years were 1946 and
1948, not 1953.

And Snead did NOT win POY that year. They gave it to hogan who only
won a single event - The US Open. One of the great injustices in golf.
The voters were so impressed with hogan's courage in coming back from
the car crash that they ignored the super-obvious fact that snead had a
much better year.

About a million young American men were killed or wounded during WW
II, as were another million young men from the British Commonwealth
countries. It takes several years to replace a deficit like that in
the golf talent pool. By a strange coincidence, nobody ever got more
than nine PGA victories in a year, except during and immediately after
WW II, the last being Snead in 1950.
