A look at Tiger Woods' records at Torrey Pines

Tiger Woods is the author of several records that have been set at Torrey Pines. Logically, many of them have to do with the Farmers Insurance Open.

Woods is the leading winner of the event with seven titles. He is the only player to win the event more than three times. He also won four consecutive editions of the event (2005-2008), with the biggest margin of victory coming in 2008 when he beat Ryuji Imada by eight strokes.

The 15-time major champion also holds the Farmers Insurance Open record for 72 holes (22-under 266). The record was set by George Burns in 1987, and Woods equaled it in 1999. That same year, Woods shot a 62 on the South Course at Torrey Pines, which remains the course record.

With his 2008 U.S. Open victory at Torrey Pines, Woods joined Jack Nicklaus as the only players to win the career Grand Slam three times.
