Sports Illustrated’s Tale of the Tape, by Sal Johnson: in his 85th start Jordan Spieth picked up his ninth worldwide win at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions. Yet as impressive as Spieth has been early in his career, his resume pales in comparison with what Tiger Woods accomplished in his first 85 starts. Woods won 21 times, including 18 PGA Tour events. And over his next 73 starts Woods on 22 more times, including six majors.

TW: 20 y 9 m 7 d 1996 Las Vegas
JS: 19 y 11 m 18 d 2014 John Deere

JS: 21 y 8 m 16 d 2015 Masters
