Tiger Woods lit up the Tour Championship on more than one occasion, but it is his 2007 display that really stands out.

Golfing legend Woods is a three-time winner of the Tour Championship, emerging victorious in 1999, 2007 and 2018.

Rory McIlroy has also won the tournament on three occasions, followed by the two successes of Phil Mickelson.

And Scottie Scheffler is now aiming to become the next multiple Tour Championship winner as he takes on East Lake this week.

The FedExCup Playoffs were first introduced to the PGA Tour in 2007, with Woods fittingly clinching the title.

When Tiger Woods shot his lowest nine-hole score ever at the 2007 Tour Championship

He did that in true Woods fashion, carding rounds of 64, 63, 64 and 66 to finish his tournament on 23-under.

That helped secure a stunning eight-shot win over Zach Johnson and Mark Calcavecchi, which remains the largest winning margin in the history of the event.

The stunning victory was helped by a record second round from the legendary figure, in which Woods shot a 7-under 28 on the front nine.

It involved birdies on holes four through eight and an eagle on the par-five ninth, and represents the lowest nine-hole score of his entire career.

He couldn’t quite repeat his exact heroics for his third glory at the event, with Woods winning the 2018 Tour Championship by two shots.

Billy Horschel was the unlucky one that day, with his fellow American having previously won the 1999 Tour Championship by four shots over Davis Love III.

Woods earned $10 million for his phenomenal efforts in 2007, which helped him clinch the FedExCup and his 61st PGA Tour win.

Unfortunately he is absent from the upcoming edition of the Tour Championship, and it remains to be seen if he’ll ever make another appearance.

Injuries have heavily impacted his stunning career in recent times, with Woods yet to make a single start on the PGA Tour in 2025.

But his remarkable performances have already gone down in golfing history, and his 2007 Tour Championship display undoubtedly represents one of his best ever.
