Jack Nicklaus, the golfer many analysts rate as the best ever, won 73 times in PGA Tour tournaments. That’s third-best all-time, behind only Sam Snead and Tiger Woods. But Nicklaus’ total of 73 wins includes 18 in major championships, which is the record.
Nicklaus won his first PGA Tour tournament in 1962 and his last in 1986. The most tournaments he won in a single PGA Tour season was seven, a number Nicklaus hit several times. Nicklaus won at least once on the tour every year from 1962 through 1978, a 17-year-stretch that shares the tour record for consecutive years with a victory.

Nicklaus’ Wins on the Champions Tour (10)
Once Nicklaus reached age 50, he began playing on the senior circuit, the Champions Tour. But Nicklaus played sparingly on that tour, which explains why his 10 career wins don’t rank very high on the Champions Tour career wins list. Eight of those wins, however, were in senior majors, and for many years that was the record.
