Golfers With The Most Pga Tour Wins In Career

The all-time leaders in victories on the PGA Tour and Sam Snead and Tiger Woods — they are currently tied, but Woods is likely to pull ahead soon. Woods is one of two active golfers (along with Phil Mickelson) inside the Top 10 in career PGA Tour wins. The Top 5 are:

Sam Snead, 82 wins Tiger Woods, 82 wins Jack Nicklaus, 63 wins Ben Hogan, 64 wins Arnold Palmer, 62 wins

Those are also the only golfers in PGA Tour history to achieve 60 or more wins. There are seven golfers with 50+ wins, nine with 40 or more victories, 16 with at least 30 wins. Thirty-seven golfers have won 20 or more PGA Tour titles in their careers.

(The farther back one goes in golf history, the sketchier the record-keeping becomes. For that reason, there are some lists of all-time wins on the web that differ very slightly for some golfers, particularly those below 30 wins, from this list. For example, some sources show Cary Middlecoff with 40 wins and Leo Diegel with 30. However, the numbers in our list above are the official win totals as recognized by the PGA Tour.)

Active Golfers With At Least 10 PGA Tour Wins
