This is a quick 'back of the envelope' comparison
and Price Waterhouse Coopers have not audited my results
so I reserve the right to say "oops" later. There are
round-off differences too.
In 2006, Tiger has entered 12 events that are 'official'
on the PGA Tour. He has failed to complete 2 (one cut,
one WD) and won 5. He has won 47.5% of the money
possible[1] in those events.
In 1975, Jack played 17 events. He won 5 (including
The Masters and PGA Championships) and finished out
of the top-10 twice (a T-14 and a T-18). He won
66% of the money available[2].
Tiger will undoubtedly play a couple more events in
2006.
Chris Bellomy will now follow up with a Hogan-1953
comparison... Unfortunately, the GolfStats data[3]
for all events does not go back that far.
[1] Tiger: $6,351,563 Winners in those events: $13,367,480 == > 47.5%

[2] Jack: $306,656.07 Winners: $464,500 == > 66.0%

Was that his best year for that stat? If not, why 1975?
