Tiger Woods had (emphasis on had) a winning percentage of 48.48 in 33 World Golf Championships, meaning he won 16 of them. His stat line in the Accenture Match Play Championship reads like this: 32-7 and three victories, including a record streak of 13 consecutive matches won between 2003 and 2005.
