Unforgettable years in golf are about as rare as a Tweet-less day by President Trump, understandable given the scarcity of greatness in general and even more so when one considers what we have come to expect of great golfers.
For example, in 2017 Justin Thomas won five times, including a major championship, something Arnold Palmer only did three times in his career – one of those being his seminal year of 1960 – but more recently Tiger Woods has raised the bar. Woods won at least five events and a major within a given year, seven times in his career.
