Okay, so today I’m gonna share my little deep dive into finding out who has the most wins on the PGA Tour. It started pretty simple, just a random thought I had while watching some golf.
First things first, I hit up Google. I mean, where else would you start, right? I typed in “most us pga tour wins” and bam, got a bunch of results. Some were articles, some were lists, you know the drill.
The initial results all pointed to one guy: Sam Snead. Said he had like, 82 wins. Which is insane. But I wasn’t just gonna take Google’s word for it. Needed to dig a little deeper.
So I started clicking on some of the links. Went to the PGA Tour’s official website, checked out some sports news sites like ESPN and Golf Digest. They all seemed to agree: Sam Snead had 82 wins.
But here’s where it got interesting. I noticed some people in the comments sections of these articles mentioning Tiger Woods. Saying he was close, or might even be tied. So I had to investigate that.
I searched specifically for “Tiger Woods PGA Tour wins.” And yeah, turns out Tiger Woods also has 82 wins. So it’s a tie! This is way more exciting than just one guy holding the record.
To make sure I wasn’t missing anything, I started looking for any discrepancies. Like, maybe some wins counted differently or something. Went through individual tournament results, checked for any asterisks or footnotes. Didn’t find anything that changed the overall count.
- Checked PGA Tour official site.
- Cross-referenced with ESPN and Golf Digest.
- Looked for any differences in how wins were counted.
Basically, I just wanted to be absolutely sure before I started spouting off facts. Don’t wanna be that guy who’s wrong about golf stats.
So, the final answer? Sam Snead and Tiger Woods are tied for the most wins on the US PGA Tour, with 82 wins each. It was a fun little rabbit hole to go down, and now I feel like I actually know something about golf history. Plus, I’ve got a good conversation starter for the next time I’m watching a tournament with friends.
What’s Next?
I’m thinking next time, I’ll try to figure out who has the most major wins. That could be another interesting one. Stay tuned!
