The List of All-Time Winners on the PGA Tour
The list of all-time winners on the PGA Tour is topped by two names: Tiger Woods and Sam Snead. Without getting into a debate about some of Snead’s victories, those two remain paired at the top of the list with 82.
With Rory McIlroy’s latest victory, the team event at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, he became the 26th golfer to win at least 25 times on the PGA Tour. McIlroy is tied at 25 with Johnny Miller, Tommy Armour, and Macdonald Smith, but among that group, McIlroy has the most majors (four). A 26th win would put him alongside Henry Picard. Should McIlroy get to 30, he’d be the 18th golfer to reach that plateau and the first since Vijay Singh to get there.
List of Golfers Who Reached the 25-Win Plateau on the PGA Tour
We’re listing Snead first because he was the first to get to 82.
Tiger Woods’ 82nd win was 4 ½ years ago at the Zozo Championship.
Jack Nicklaus won 73 times, with his final victory coming at the 1986 Masters, his 18th major.
Ben Hogan won 64 times on the PGA Tour. He made exactly 300 starts and made the cut 293 times. His final victory was the 1959 Colonial National Invitation.
Only five golfers reached the 60-win mark and Arnold Palmer was one of them, having nabbed 62 PGA Tour victories during his career.
Byron Nelson won 52 times, with 18 of those victories coming in 1945, and 11 of those coming in succession, the longest winning streak on the PGA Tour.
There are only seven golfers to reach the 50-win plateau, with Billy Casper being one of them.
There are 16 golfers to have won at least 30 times on the PGA Tour. Horton Smith, who won the first and third Masters, is one of them.
Harry Cooper won 29 times but holds the distinction of having won the most PGA Tour events without a major championship.
Tommy Armour of Scotland won the Open, the U.S. Open, and the PGA Championship.
Macdonald Smith is credited with 25 but like Cooper, did not win one of the four majors during his career.
Rory McIlroy broke a tie with Dustin Johnson and Gary Player when he earned his 25th PGA Tour victory.
