Wimbledon 2023 - ranking tournament's top players - ESPN
At the peak of his early prime, Tiger Woods won nine of the 20 tournaments he entered in 2000. He won three majors and finished second in four other tournaments. It was conceivably the best year of golf we've ever seen. Entering the Open Championship at St. Andrews, he was a +150 betting favorite. That's equivalent to saying he had a 40% chance and the other 157 golfers in the field had a combined 60% chance. The following spring at the Masters, against a much smaller field (93 other golfers), he was again at +150. (Again, he won, completing his «Tiger Slam.»)

'Awakened' Novak Djokovic Eyes 8th Wimbledon Title And 24th Slam Crown
Novak Djokovic has Roger Federer's record of eight Wimbledon titles as well as a 24th major in his sights as he closes in on a first calendar Grand Slam in 54 years.
