In advance of the 2020 season, the PGA Tour released its top 10 golfers of the past decade on
December 1. While the period from 2000 to 2009 was dominated by Tiger Woods, the 2010s was
about emerging stars trying to establish themselves as the best in the game, according to PGA
Tour writer Sean Martin. Yet, despite his drop off in performance brought about by back injuries
and personal matters, Woods won a combined eight tournaments in 2012 and 2013 and was
named PGA Tour Player of the Year in the latter year. He ranked fifth on PGA Tour's list ahead of
Justin Thomas, Justin Rose, Jason Day, Bubba Watson, and Phil Mickelson.

PGA Tour career in 2010, won 18 tournaments in the decade, four of which were major
championships. He also joined Woods as the only players to ever win multiple FedExCups.
