Stacking up the numbers as Tiger Woods matches Sam Snead for the most in PGA TOUR history following his win at THE ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP.
Snead and Woods are the only players to win more than 80 PGA TOUR titles. Jack Nicklaus is the only other player to win more than 70. Ben Hogan (64) and Arnold Palmer (62) are next.
Snead’s 82nd career TOUR title came at the age of 52 at the 1965 Wyndham Championship. Woods won his 82nd nine years earlier, at the age of 43.
Woods won five times in his first 263 days as a professional, passing 487 players who had four or fewer PGA TOUR Wins. At the time, Woods needed to pass 160 players for the most all-time TOUR wins. The below table shows the number of players who had one or more victories than Woods at the time of his win at the event.
Since 1996, Woods has won 93.2% (55 of 59) of PGA TOUR events when leading or co-leading after 54 holes in official 72-hole strokeplay events. That’s the best win percentage of any player with four or more 54-hole leads and co-leads. When the outright leader, his win ratio increases to 96% (44 of 46), while the PGA TOUR average is 44% over the last decade. Woods is 25 of 25 when holding an outright 54-hole leader and leading by three or more strokes (last win: 2019 ZOZO Championship).
