Golfers with most PGA Tour wins
Encyclopedia
This is a list of golfers who have won five or more official money events on the PGA Tour
.
Players under 50 years of age are shown in bold. On his 50th birthday a golfer becomes eligible to compete on the Champions Tour
, and he is unlikely to add to his tally of PGA Tour wins after that date (Sam Snead
was the oldest-ever winner at 52, and Art Wall
in 1975, Craig Stadler
in 2003 and Fred Funk
in 2007 are the three most recent over-50 winners).
Accumulating 20 wins is significant, because it is one of the requirements for "lifetime membership" on the PGA Tour. This means that the golfer does not need to requalify for membership on the tour each year by finishing in the top 125 on the money list, or through an exemption for tournament victories. Many golfers struggle to do this through their 40s, and go through a hiatus in their career before they qualify for the Champions Tour, but those with 20 wins avoid this problem. However, lifetime members are required to maintain a certain (relatively modest) standard of play to retain their playing privileges: when they can no longer do so, they are moved into the "Past champions" membership category, effectively becoming honorary members.
Some of the players on the list have also won many events on other tours
. In particular, a high proportion of the non-Americans have done so. Also, a substantial number of players born from approximately 1930 to 1955 have won many Champions Tour events, with some having significantly more wins on the senior circuit than on the regular PGA Tour (notably Hale Irwin
and Gil Morgan
).
The PGA Tour recognized The Open Championship
as an official tour event in 1995. In 2002, it decided to classify Open Championship victories before 1995 as PGA Tour wins, and the victory tallies in the table reflect this amendment.
The list is complete through the 2011 season.
