Inside look at every one of Tiger Woods' 82 PGA Tour victories

• Earned Evans Scholarship to attend Indiana University

What a journey. From a 20-year-old, newly established professional to a worldwide sports icon, Tiger Woods has mesmerized the golf world on his way to tying the PGA Tour record of 82 career victories, set by the legendary Sam Snead .

Snead, the Hall of Famer who was born in the same year as golf legends Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson , was 52 years old in 1965 when he became the oldest player to win on the PGA Tour. Eventually, that victory was determined to be his 82nd and last, setting a standard that decades of players could not match.

Jack Nicklaus topped out at 73 wins, while Hogan had 64 and Arnold Palmer 62.

Woods passed them years ago, before injuries seemingly sidelined his career, stalling at 79 victories after he captured the Bridgestone Invitational in 2013.

But the past 13 months have produced some amazing moments for Woods, now 43, as he won the Tour Championship last year for his first victory in five years, captured the Masters in April for his 15th major title and now has matched Snead in, of all places, Japan.

Here is a rundown of each and every one of those 82 titles.

1999 - Tiger Woods won his first PGA Championship, breaking out of a tie with Mike Weir at the top, before dueling with Spain's 19-year-old Sergio Garcia through the back nine. #PGA100 pic.twitter.com/y4Iq4GzEjP — PGA Championship (@PGAChampionship) July 20, 2018

1. Las Vegas Invitational Oct. 6, 1996 Runner-up: Davis Love III A final-round 64 in what was then a five-round tournament led to Woods' first victory in just his fifth start as a pro. He beat Love in a sudden-death playoff.

2. Walt Disney World/Oldsmobile Classic Oct. 20, 1996 Runner-up: Payne Stewart Woods shot a final-round 66 to edge the then two-time major winner by a stroke. The victory propelled Woods to the Tour Championship in just seven starts.

3. Mercedes Championship Oct. 12, 1997 Runner-up: Tom Lehman Then the season-opening tournament on the PGA Tour, the Tournament of Champions as it has been known, was played near San Diego. Weather shortened the event to 54 holes and Woods was tied with Lehman, whom he defeated in a sudden-death playoff.

4. The Masters April 13, 1997 Runner-up: Tom Kite Woods' first major championship was historic in many ways, and the way he crushed the field was impressive. After shooting 40 for his first 9 holes, Woods rallied with 30 strokes on the back nine and eventually won by 12 over Kite.

5. GTE Byron Nelson Golf Classic May 18, 1997 Runner-up: Lee Rinker In his first start after his Masters victory, Woods did not let up, opening the tournament with a pair of 64s on his way to a 2-shot victory.

6. Motorola Western Open July 6, 1997 Runner-up: Frank Nobilo Woods had a swarm of spectators following toward the green while playing the 18th hole at Cog Hill Country Club, where he beat Nobilo by 3 strokes. For the first time in his career, Woods went to No. 1 in the world, surpassing Greg Norman.

7. BellSouth Classic May 10, 1998 Runner-up: Jay Don Blake This was Woods' only victory of 1998, and a final-round 72 was good for a 1-shot win. It was also a tournament he never returned to, as the following year it was played the week prior to the Masters, and Woods did not defend his title.

8. Buick Invitational Feb. 14,1999 Runner-up: Billy Ray Brown A 62-65 weekend at Torrey Pines was the start of considerable success at one of Woods' favorite tour venues. He beat Brown by 2 strokes.

9. Memorial Tournament June 6, 1999 Runner-up: Vijay Singh His first victory at Jack Nicklaus' tournament came after a hot first two rounds and a 69 in the final round to defeat Singh by 2 strokes.

10. Motorola Western Open July 4, 1999 Runner-up: Mike Weir This became the first tournament that Woods won more than once as a final-round 71 was good for a 3-stroke victory.

11. PGA Championship Aug. 15, 1999 Runner-up: Sergio Garcia It might be hard to believe now, but many were questioning Woods' ability to win numerous majors before this win as 10 majors had passed since his Masters triumph. He got a big scare from 19-year-old Garcia down the stretch before prevailing by a shot with a final-round 72 at Medinah.

12. NEC Invitational Aug. 29, 1999 Runner-up: Phil Mickelson The first of three straight victories at Firestone in Akron, Ohio, in what was the first year of the World Golf Championship events. Woods led by 5 strokes after a third-round 62, and Mickelson, who was 7 back and tied for fourth, made it interesting with a closing 65 to pull within 1 shot.

13. National Car Rental Golf Classic at Disney Oct. 24, 1999 Runner-up: Ernie Els A somewhat frequent occurrence, Woods built a lead, then did what he had to do to win. After three straight rounds of 66, he shot 73 to beat Els by a shot.

14. Tour Championship Oct. 31, 1999 Runner-up: Davis Love III Woods cruised to a 4-shot victory over Love during a week that was marred by the death of Payne Stewart. The tournament was postponed for a day during the event so players could attend Stewart's funeral.

15. American Express Championship Nov. 7, 1999 Runner-up: Miguel-Angel Jimenez The forerunner to what is now the Mexico Championship, the WGC event moved around in its early years and was played in Spain at Valderrama -- site of the 1997 Ryder Cup. Woods was a shot back to begin the final round and shot 68 to tie Jimenez and won on the first extra hole of sudden death. It was the third victory in three weeks and eighth of the year for Woods.

16. Mercedes Championship Jan. 9, 2000 Runner-up: Ernie Els The start of a glorious year for Woods saw him beat Els in an epic duel that ended in a two-hole playoff. Both eagled the 18th hole in regulation, then both birdied it on the first extra hole. Woods then won with a 40-foot birdie putt on the next extra hole, his fifth straight victory dating to 2009.

17. AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am Feb. 7, 2000 Runners-up: Matt Gogel, Vijay Singh In one of Woods' more epic victories, Gogel led him by 7 strokes with just nine holes to go. Woods holed a shot for eagle at the 15th, birdied the 16th and birdied the 18th for a final-round 64 during a Monday finish to win by 2 strokes.

18. Bay Hill Invitational March 19, 2000 Runner-up: Davis Love III The first of eight victories at Arnold Palmer's tournament, Woods shot a final-round 70 and cruised to a 4-shot win.

19. Memorial Tournament May 29, 2000 Runners-up: Ernie Els, Justin Leonard The weather-marred tournament finished on a Monday, and Woods had built a 6-shot advantage through 54 holes, cruising with a final-round 70 that assured a 2-stroke win, his fourth of the year and a defense of his Memorial title.

20. U.S. Open June 18, 2000 Runners-up: Ernie Els, Miguel Angel Jimenez A record-setting performance at Pebble Beach saw Woods open with a 65 and never look back. Even a triple-bogey during the third round could not derail him. He was the only player to break par for 72 holes and won by 15 shots.

21. The Open July 21, 2000 Runners-up: Thomas Bjorn, Ernie Els Woods made history by completing the career Grand Slam at the Home of Golf -- St. Andrews -- where he led by 3 shots after 36 holes and was 6 ahead of Bjorn and David Duval through 54 holes. Woods cruised to an 8-shot victory, never finding any of the Old Course bunkers during the tournament.

22. PGA Championship Aug. 20, 2000 Runner-up: Bob May With a 1-shot advantage through 54 holes, Woods could not shake May, who shot a final-round 66 at Valhalla to force a three-hole aggregate playoff that Woods won. Woods became the first player since Ben Hogan to win three major championships in the same year.

23. NEC Invitational Aug. 27, 2000 Runners-up: Justin Leonard, Phillip Price Winning three straight majors wasn't enough for Woods. He went to the WGC event at Firestone that followed the PGA and cruised to another victory, opening with a 64 and winning by 11 strokes.

24. Bell Canadian Open Sept. 10, 2000 Runner-up: Grant Waite Long remembered for the 6-iron shot Woods hit out of a fairway bunker from 218 yards on the final hole at Glen Abbey that set up a two-putt birdie and a 1-stroke victory. It also capped a remarkable nine-victory season.

25. Bay Hill Invitational March 18, 2001 Runner-up: Phil Mickelson Amazingly, Woods was deemed to be in a "slump'' before this win, having played six worldwide events without a victory (but with four top-10s). A final-round 69 was punctuated by an 18th-hole birdie that relegated Mickelson to his second runner-up finish to Woods.

26. Players Championship March 25, 2001 Runner-up: Vijay Singh The tournament where Woods made the "better-than-most'' putt on the 17th green during the third round. Often forgotten is that this victory came amidst the "Tiger Slam'' of majors. A final-round 67 meant a 1-stroke victory.

27. Masters April 8, 2001 Runner-up: David Duval A first-round 70 left Woods 7 strokes behind leader Chris DiMarco, but a second-round 66 pulled him into a tie with Phil Mickelson, just 2 strokes back. A third-round 68 gave him a 1-shot lead over Mickelson in his bid to become the first player to win four consecutive professional majors. Duval briefly tied for the lead with a birdie at the 15th hole before a bogey at the 16th. Woods birdied the 18th for his 2-shot margin of victory.

10 years ago, Tiger Woods holed out on No. 16 in dramatic fashion. Watch this historic shot from a different angle. https://t.co/5bnny62LBO — Masters Tournament (@TheMasters) April 5, 2015

28. Memorial Tournament June 3, 2001 Runners-up: Paul Azinger, Sergio Garcia Woods made it three in a row at Muirfield Village, shooting all four rounds in the 60s and cruising to a 7-shot victory.

29. NEC Invitational Aug. 26, 2001 Runner-up: Jim Furyk Unable to add a major victory after his Masters win earlier in the year, Woods settled for his fourth WGC title and third in a row at Firestone. But he needed overtime to do it. After shooting a final-round 69 to tie Jim Furyk, Woods needed seven extra holes before defeating him in a sudden-death playoff.

30. Bay Hill Invitational March 17, 2002 Runner-up: Michael Campbell Like Firestone and Muirfield Village, Woods was finding Bay Hill very much to his liking. Despite a third-round 74, he went on to win by 4 strokes.

31. Masters April 14, 2002 Runner-up: Retief Goosen Woods became just the third player to defend his Masters victory, shooting a final-round 71 to break a 54-hole tie and win by 3 strokes. It was Woods' third Masters win.

32. U.S. Open June 16, 2002 Runner-up: Phil Mickelson Woods grabbed the first-round lead, and despite shooting higher scores each day, won by 3 strokes over Mickelson. He became the first player since Jack Nicklaus in 1972 to win the Masters and U.S. Open in the same year.

33. Buick Open Aug. 11, 2002 Runners-up: Fred Funk, Brian Gay, Mark O'Meara, Estaban Toledo Woods cruised to a 4-stroke victory after opening the tournament 67-63.

34. American Express Championship Sept. 22, 2002 Runner-up: Retief Goosen Woods famously quipped that he could think of a million reasons (first place: $1 million) why he'd rather win this World Golf event than the following week's Ryder Cup (which the U.S. lost in England) before winning by a stroke over Goosen. It was his second victory in the event, played in Ireland that year.

35. Buick Invitational Feb. 16, 2003 Runner-up: Carl Pettersson Woods' second professional win at Torrey Pines was aided by a 68-68 weekend. He won by 4 strokes.

36. Accenture Match Play March 2, 2003 Runner-up: David Toms One of the best-ever as an amateur in the match play format, Woods got his first professional victory at match play in the WGC final -- 2 and 1 over Toms.

37. Bay Hill Invitational March 23, 2003 Runners-up: Stewart Cink, Brad Faxon, Kenny Perry, Kirk Triplett Not even a bout of food poisoning could keep Woods down during a rainy final round that saw him visibly ill on the course but still able to shoot 68 and win by 11 strokes. It was his fourth straight victory in the event.

38. 100th Western Open July 6, 2003 Runner-up: Rich Beem Woods cruised to a 5-shot victory, leading wire-to-wire and shooting a final-round 69 at Cog Hill to win the Western for the third time.

39. American Express Championship Oct. 5, 2003 Runners-up: Stewart Appleby, Tim Herron, Vijay Singh Woods' third victory in the event came at a third different venue -- this time the Capital City Club in Woodstock, Georgia. With a 67-66 start, Woods jumped to a 5-stroke 36-hole lead but a final-round 72 was still good for a 2-shot victory.

40. Accenture Match Play Championship Feb. 29, 2004 Runner-up Davis Love III Woods defended his title at LaCosta, this time defeating Love in the championship match, to surpass Tom Watson on the all-time PGA Tour victory list. It was also Woods' only victory of the year -- and the first time since 1998 that he won just once -- as he worked through a swing change.

41. Buick Invitational Jan. 23, 2005 Runners-up: Luke Donald, Charles Howell III, Tom Lehman Woods returned to familiar territory for his third victory at Torrey Pines and his first win in nearly a year. He had to come from behind to overtake Lehman, who bogeyed the final two holes as Woods won by 3.

42. Ford Championship at Doral March 6, 2005 Runner-up: Phil Mickelson In one of their rare duels, Woods and Mickelson went at it in an epic final round at Doral that saw Woods overtake Mickelson on the back. It came down to the last hole, where Mickelson narrowly missed chipping in for a birdie that would have forced a playoff.

43. The Masters April 10, 2005 Runner-up: Chris DiMarco Woods' first major title in nearly three years, his first working with instructor Hank Haney, came in dramatic fashion. There was the famous chip-in for birdie from behind the 16th green; then two bogeys to fall into a playoff with DiMarco. Then a birdie on the first playoff hole. The win was Woods' ninth major title.

44. The Open July 17, 2005 Runner-up: Colin Montgomerie Woods won his second major of the year and his second Open at the Home of Golf, opening 66-67 at the Old Course in St. Andrews. Woods led by just 2 after three rounds, but cruised to a 5-stroke victory. Jack Nicklaus played his final major championship, missing the cut. It was Woods' 10th major title.

45. NEC Invitational Aug. 21, 2005 Runner-up: Chris DiMarco Woods claimed his ninth WGC title and fourth at Firestone, holding off DiMarco with a final-round 71 to win by 1.

46. American Express Championship Oct. 9, 2005 Runner-up: John Daly A fourth victory at a fourth different venue in this event -- this time at Harding Park in San Francisco. Woods shot a final-round 67 to tie Daly, who missed a short putt in a sudden-death playoff. It was Woods' sixth victory of the year.

47. Buick Invitational Jan. 29, 2006 Runners-up: Nathan Green, Jose Maria Olazabal A final-round 72 landed Woods in a tie with Green and Olazabal -- and he needed a final-hole birdie to do it. Woods won on the second extra hole when Olazabal missed a 4-foot putt.

48. Ford Championship at Doral March 5, 2006 Runners-up: David Toms, Camilo Villegas Woods defended his title, opening with a 64 and bogeying the final two holes of the tournament for a 1-shot margin of victory. It was the last time Doral served as a venue for a full-field PGA Tour event.

49. The Open July 23, 2006 Runner-up: Chris DiMarco Playing a baked-out Royal Liverpool, Woods famously hit just one driver during the tournament, electing to use irons off tees and rely on a precision iron game. For the second time in consecutive years, Woods had to hold off DiMarco, winning by 2 shots in what turned out to be an emotional win -- his first major title since the death of his father, Earl, earlier that year.

50. Buick Open Aug. 6, 2006 Runner-up: Jim Furyk Woods shot 66 all four days at Warwick Hills in Grand Blanc, Michigan, to win the tournament for the second time and reach a milestone 50th win. He finished 3 strokes ahead of Furyk.

51. PGA Championship Aug. 20, 2006 Runner-up: Shaun Micheel. Woods won his second straight major, third PGA and second at Medinah by fighting his way into a third-round tie with Luke Donald and then shooting a final-round 68 to finish 5 strokes ahead of Micheel. It was his 12th major title.

52. Bridgestone Invitational Aug. 27, 2006 Runner-up: Stewart Cink. Woods won for the fourth time in five weeks at a place where it was becoming a habit, capturing his fifth victory at Firestone but needing a playoff to do it. It was his 11th WGC title.

53. Deutsche Bank Championship Sept. 4, 2006 Runner-up: Vijay Singh. Despite having won two majors and a WGC in the previous four weeks, Woods was not done winning. He shot a final-round 63 to beat Singh by 2 strokes.

54. American Express Championship Oct. 1, 2006 Runners-up: Ian Poulter, Adam Scott. Woods capped an eight-victory season with a whopping 8-stroke victory, his fifth in the event, all at different venues. This was played at The Grove in England, the week following a U.S. Ryder Cup loss in Ireland.

55. Buick Invitational Jan. 28, 2007 Runner-up: Charles Howell III Woods' fifth win at Torrey Pines came with some luck -- or bad luck for Howell, whose approach to the 18th green hit the flagstick and rolled back into the water.

56. CA Championship March 25, 2007 Runner-up: Brett Wetterich This was a third-straight victory for Woods at Doral, although the first in the new format as a World Golf Championship event. It was Woods' sixth WGC title in what had previously been called the American Express Invitational. He defeated Wetterich by 2 shots.

57. Wachovia Championship May 6, 2007 Runner-up: Steve Stricker Woods overcame a double-bogey on the back nine to overtake third-round leader Rory Sabbatini and win by 2 strokes over Stricker.

58. Bridgestone Invitational Aug. 5, 2007 Runners-up: Justin Rose, Rory Sabbatini Another rout at Firestone. Woods won the WGC event for the sixth time, shooting a final-round 65 to win by 8 as the tournament moved to the week prior to the PGA Championship for the first time.

59. PGA Championship Aug. 12, 2007 Runner-up: Woody Austin Woods narrowly missed shooting a major championship record 62 during the second round (settling for 63) and went on to a 2-shot victory in sweltering conditions at Southern Hills Country Club in Oklahoma for his 13th major title.

60. BMW Championship Sept. 9, 2007 Runner-up: Aaron Baddeley Formerly the Western Open, the longtime Chicago-area event got a new date and a new designation as a FedEx Cup playoff event. Woods shot a final-round 63 to win by 2 shots. It was considered Woods' fourth win at the Western/BMW, first in the newly-formed FedEx Cup playoffs.

61. Tour Championship Sept. 16, 2007 Runners-up: Mark Calcavecchia, Zach Johnson An exclamation point on another remarkable season, Woods won for the seventh time in 2007 and did so by 8 shots after opening the tournament with rounds of 64-63-64 on the par-70 East Lake course. Woods also became the first FedEx Cup champion after the win.

62. Buick Invitational Jan. 27, 2008 Runner-up: Ryuji Imada For the fourth straight year, Woods began his season with a victory at Torrey Pines, this time by 8 shots over Imada. He needed just a score of 71 in the final round to cruise to victory. It was his sixth PGA Tour victory at the venue.

63. Accenture Match Play Championship Feb. 24, 2008 Runner-up: Stewart Cink This was shaping up to be a special season for Woods, who was 3-for-3 in victories including a performance a few weeks earlier at the Dubai Desert Classic on the European Tour where he shot a final-round 65 to win by 1. In the 36-hole match play final against Cink, Woods put an end to it early with an 8 and 7 victory.

64. Arnold Palmer Invitational March 16, 2008 Runner-up: Bart Bryant Woods needed a 25-footer for birdie on the 18th hole to edge Bryant by 1 shot -- the first time in seven years he won with a birdie on the 72nd hole. It was his third victory of the year on the PGA Tour and his fifth in a row on tour. It was also his fifth at this tournament, but first under with Palmer's name in the title.

65. U.S. Open June 16, 2008 Runner-up: Rocco Mediate Among Woods' more epic victories, he defeated Mediate in an 18-hole playoff after making a 12-footer in regulation to force a tie. Woods, it was later learned, played with two broken bones in his left leg -- which needed surgery for a torn ACL. That kept him from playing the rest of the year, with a record of four wins in six PGA Tour events, including his 14th major title.

66. Arnold Palmer Invitational March 29, 2009 Runner-up: Sean O'Hair Another walk-off win at Bay Hill, this time a 15-footer on the 18th green to shoot a final-round 67 and stun O'Hair by a shot in Woods' third start of the year. It was his first victory since the reconstructive knee surgery.

67. Memorial Tournament June 7, 2009 Runner-up: Jim Furyk An interesting tidbit: Woods hit every fairway in the tournament. To win, he overcame a 4-shot final-round deficit. Woods also birdied the last two holes to shoot 65.

68. AT&T National July 5, 2009 Runner-up: Hunter Mahan This tournament featured a duel that we've been sadly denied: Anthony Kim was in the mix, and took the lead early in the final round, before falling back. Kim had shot 62 at Congressional in the first round. Woods' final-round 67 was enough to hold off a charging Mahan by a stroke.

69. Buick Open Aug. 2, 2009 Runners-up: Greg Chalmers, John Senden, Roland Thatcher Woods added this tournament late as it would be the last for his longtime sponsor Buick at the Michigan venue. It would be the first of three straight events for Woods, including the PGA Championship. He shot a final-round 69 to win by 3.

70. WGC-Bridgestone Invitational Aug. 9, 2009 Runners-up: Padraig Harrington, Robert Allenby Woods was involved in a heated back-nine duel with three-time major winner Harrington, who fell apart after he and Woods received a slow-playing warning over the closing holes -- one that Woods later criticized. A final-round 65 meant a seventh victory at Firestone and a 4-shot win.

71. BMW Championship Sept. 13, 2009 Runners-up: Jim Furyk, Marc Leishman The dominating victory at Cog Hill -- his fifth at the venue, second in what was now a FedEx Cup playoff event -- made many wonder how Woods ever coughed up a lead to Y.E. Yang a few weeks earlier at the PGA Championship. He won by 8 shots and it was his sixth victory of the year on the PGA Tour.

72. Arnold Palmer Invitational March 25, 20012 Runner-up: Graeme McDowell His first official post-scandal victory, Woods did it at a familiar place, winning for the seventh time at Bay Hill. He shot a final-round 70 to pull away from McDowell and win by 5.

73. Memorial Tournament June 3, 2012 Runners-up: Andres Romero, Rory Sabbatini A historic victory for Woods, as it tied him with tournament host Jack Nicklaus with 73 PGA Tour titles. And he did it in style, coming from 4 strokes back, holing a flop shot on the 16th hole, and shooting a 5-under-par 67 to win by 2.

74. AT&T National July 1, 2012 Runner-up: Bo Van Pelt Woods got some help from Van Pelt, who bogeyed his last three holes as Woods shot a final-round 69 to win by 2. The third round was played without spectators at Congressional Country Club due to a storm that left the course dangerous. The win moved Woods past Jack Nicklaus and into second place on the all-time PGA Tour victory list, eight wins behind Sam Snead.

75. Farmers Insurance Open Jan. 28, 2013 Runners-up: Brandt Snedeker, Josh Teater For the seventh time (and eighth including the U.S. Open), Woods won at Torrey Pines. This time, though, it was with a shaky finish and a bizarre Monday ending. Woods at one point had an 8-shot lead, but bogeyed four of his last five holes in the fog-delayed tournament. He still won by 4 shots.

76. WGC-Cadillac Championship March 10, 2013 Runner-up: Steve Stricker A 66-65-67 start gave Woods a 4-shot lead through 54 holes, and he cruised to a 2-shot win over Stricker for his seventh title in this tournament. It was also the fourth time he won a tournament at the Doral Resort in Miami.

77. Arnold Palmer Invitational March 25, 2013 Runner-up: Justin Rose A Monday finish saw Woods get a hearty congratulations from tournament host Arnold Palmer as he ended up a 2-shot winner over Justin Rose, winning at Bay Hill for the eighth time to match a 48-year-old PGA Tour record. The victory also moved Woods back to No. 1 in the world for the first time since October of 2010.

78. Players Championship May 12, 2013 Runners-up: David Lingmerth, Kevin Streelman, Jeff Maggert A third-round spat with Sergio Garcia didn't keep Woods from prevailing at a place where he traditionally has had trouble. Neither did a later tee shot in the water at the 14th hole -- where his drop was questioned afterward. Rounds of 67-67 helped him get in front, and he closed with a 70 for a 2-shot win and his second at TPC Sawgrass.

79. WGC-Bridgestone Invitational Aug. 4, 2013 Runners-up: Keegan Bradley, Henrik Stenson A second-round 61 -- matching his career low -- had Woods well on his way to a 7-shot victory, his eighth at Firestone and his 18th World Golf Championship title.

80. Tour Championship Sept. 23, 2018 Runner-up: Billy Horschel His first victory since a remarkable return from spinal fusion surgery came after a couple of close calls at The Open (T-6) and PGA Championship (2nd) and saw him play with Rickie Fowler, Justin Rose and Rory McIlroy over the final three rounds. A third-round 65 put him in position, and Woods extended his lead on the front nine at East Lake, leading to a coronation as he played the 18th hole, winning by 2.

81. Masters April 14, 2019 Runners-up: Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson, Xander Schauffele With an all-star cast of players in contention on the final day, Woods for the first time came from behind to win a major, shooting a final-round 70 at Augusta National to win his 15th major title and first in 11 years. Trailing by 2 shots through 11 holes of the final round, Woods parred the par-3 12th while several pursuers found the water, then made birdies at the 13th, 15th and 16th holes to build a 2-shot lead he took to the 18th tee. He could withstand a final-hole bogey, setting off a celebration never seen by Woods in any of his previous victories.

82. Zozo Championship Oct. 27, 2019 Runner-up: Hideki Matsuyama Playing for the first time in nine weeks, Woods surprisingly looked strong and fit after a summer of physical struggles that included knee surgery following his final event of the 2018-19 season. After bogeying his first three holes, Woods shot an opening-round 64, and then followed it with another one to take a 2-shot 36-hole lead. He increased his advantage to 3 shots after 54 holes and needed seven holes on Monday to finish, winning for the 82nd time and tying Sam Snead's all-time PGA Tour record that dates to 1965.

PGA TOUR Archive

There are a plethora of incredible stats that tell the story of Tiger Woods and his legendary pro career. But we’ll focus on one that has been closely tracked throughout: his 82 PGA Tour wins starting with the 1996 Las Vegas Invitational. That being said, have you ever actually counted to 82? That’s a lot of counting! So to help make this total easier to keep track of, we decided to break up Woods’ wins into different tiers to rank them by importance.

Whether Woods should be credited with more than 82 victories—which puts him in a tie for the all-time record with Sam Snead— remains a debate . But we’ll focus on the ones that count for now, because again, it’s a lot to keep track of. Hopefully, this handy list helps:

Who Has Won The Most PGA Tour Events?

Two men lead the way at the top of the list of players with the most victories in the history of the PGA Tour

• Sign up to Golf Monthly Newsletter Newsletter

In 1916, the Professional Golfers’ Association of America was founded. Although a formalised circuit of tournaments wasn’t established until 1929, the PGA Tour today recognises wins post 1916 as counting as PGA Tour victories.

There are two players tied at the top of the official standings for having recorded the most PGA Tour victories – Both Sam Snead and Tiger Woods have recorded 82 professional wins that are recognised as PGA Tour victories.

Sam Snead winning the 1954 Palm Beach Round Robin

Sam Snead turned professional in 1934 and won the first of his 82 PGA Tour titles in the West Virginia Closed Pro of 1936. He won that event by an incredible 16 strokes having shot a second round of 61.

Snead enjoyed remarkable longevity in his career. His final PGA Tour title came almost 29 years after his first, in the Greater Greensboro Open of 1965. At 54-years-old, Snead shot four rounds in the 60s to win by five.

He continued to be competitive into his late 60s. Shooting his age of 67, then beating it with a 66 in the Quad Cities Open of 1979. He also became the oldest player to make the cut in a Major when, at 67, he achieved the feat in the 1979 PGA Championship.

In total, Snead won 142 professional tournaments between 1936 and 1982, including seven Majors. He recorded top-10 finishes in Major championships in five different decades – the 1930s to the 1970s.

Tiger Woods

Tiger's first PGA Tour win - the 1996 Las Vegas Invitational

Tiger could still surpass Sam Snead to stand alone at the top of the list of players with the most PGA Tour titles to their name. At the time of writing he, like Sam Snead, has 82.

Tiger’s first title came in the Las Vegas Invitational of October 1996 having turned professional just two months earlier. He claimed his maiden PGA Tour victory via a playoff against Davis Love III.

Woods has accrued his 82 PGA Tour titles over a shorter timespan than Snead. He claimed his most recent in the Zozo Championship , in October 2019, just over 23 years after his inaugural win.

Tiger has won the PGA Tour money list on 10 occasions, and he has 15 Major titles under his belt. Only Jack Nicklaus with 18 has more. Jack secured 73 PGA Tour titles (he’s third on the all-time list.)

Woods is still competing and, despite his well-documented injuries, there remains a chance that he could win again on the PGA Tour. Woods is a man who has repeatedly defied the odds and general consensus over the years.

Who has the most victories on the LPGA Tour?

Kathy Whitworth won 88 LPGA Tour events

Woods and Snead lead the men’s list, but they fall six short of the woman at the top of the list of players with the most victories on the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour.

Kathy Whitworth, who died last year, recorded an incredible 88 victories on the LPGA Tour between 1962 and 1985. Her first win came in the Kelly Girls Open in July 1962, her final victory on the circuit was in the United Virginia Bank Classic, in May 1985.

She enjoyed a period of dominance on tour in the late 1960s and, in 1968, she won no fewer than 10 events. She was LPGA Tour player of the year seven times between 1966 and 1973.

Mickey Wright is second on the list of all-time victories on the LPGA Tour with 82, Sweden’s Annika Sorenstam is third with 72.

Mark Carnevale, former PGA Tour winner and golf broadcaster, dies a week after working his last tournament

Updated on: July 23, 2024 / 7:59 AM EDT / CBS/AP

Mark Carnevale, a former PGA Tour winner who had been calling tournaments for Sirius XM Radio, died Monday, a week after working his last tournament, the PGA Tour said . He was 64.

The tour did not disclose a cause, only saying that he died suddenly.

"His humor, knowledge, and enthusiasm for the game and life will be greatly missed," the tour said in a social media post .

Carnevale won the 1992 Chattanooga Classic and was voted PGA Tour rookie of the year. He later won on what is now the Korn Ferry Tour.

He was best known recently for being one of the lead announcers for Sirius XM PGA Tour Radio since 2005, and he most recently called the action from the penultimate group at the Scottish Open. He was scheduled to work the 3M Open this week in Minnesota.

"He was a member of that elite club, a PGA Tour winner, and then he held numerous roles within the industry, most recently as a significant voice in PGA Tour Radio's coverage," Commissioner Jay Monahan said in a statement . "Mark knew the game and did a terrific job of conveying insights from his unique point of view - and with an engaging wit and sense of humor."

The son of a college basketball coach, Carnevale was born in Annapolis, Maryland, while Ben Carnevale was coaching at Navy. The family later moved to Williamsburg, Virginia, and Carnevale played college golf at James Madison.

According to the tour, Carnevale originally didn't want to play professional golf, telling the Harrisonburg (Virginia) Daily News-Record, "The competition is unbelievable on the tour. I enjoy the game too much for that."

But after briefly working at a brokerage firm after graduation, Carnevale changed his mind, the tour said, enjoying a successful career as a golfer before pivoting to broadcasting.

"Mark Carnevale was an integral part of live coverage on our streaming platforms and PGA TOUR Radio coverage. He was a consummate professional, who was respected by the PGA TOUR players he covered, and his insightful analysis and humor will be greatly missed," Greg Hopfe, PGA TOUR Entertainment senior vice president and executive producer, said in a statement.

BLAINE, Minn. (AP) — Taylor Pendrith shot a 7-under 64 on Friday to take a two-stroke lead over Matt NeSmith into the weekend in the 3M Open.

Playing in windier afternoon conditions, Pendrith made a 30-foot birdie putt on the par-4 16th and tapped in for another birdie on the par-5 18th. He had a 12-under 130 total at the TPC Twin Cities, playing the first 36 holes without a bogey.

The 33-year-old Canadian won the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in May in Texas for his first PGA Tour title. He tied for fifth last week in the Barracuda Championship in California.

“Today was pretty tricky with the wind, it was blowing pretty hard at times, so my speed was great all day and stayed really patient,” Pendrith said. “I didn’t really have many good looks through the first hour I would say of golf and was able to stay patient and make a couple, made a couple longer ones, which was nice.”

NeSmith had a 64 in the morning before wind gusts topping 20 mph hit the course in the afternoon and early evening.

Seeking his first PGA Tour victory, NeSmith lost in a playoff two weeks ago at the ISCO Championship in Kentucky, his lone top-10 finish in 20 prior starts this season. He has missed 11 cuts.

“Patience is key out here whether it be to win golf tournaments, to make cuts, to try and keep your card to try and get in the top 30,” NeSmith said. “I think it pertains to each and every person out here. You never know when you’re going to get hot, you never know when good golf’s coming. Just kind of try and be patient, try and keep calmer heads and you never know what will happen.”

First-round leader Jacob Bridgeman had a 70 to drop three strokes back at 9 under with Andrew Putnam (66). Doug Ghim (64), Lanto Griffin (66), Alex Smalley (65) and Jhonattan Vegas (66) were 8 under.

“I felt like anything under par today was pretty good, especially in the afternoon,” said Bridgeman, one of the last players to tee off Friday. “The wind was blowing really hard in the beginning of the round, caught a little bit of a lull at the end, which was nice. But greens were kind of bumpy from all the traffic. … I stayed patient all day, didn’t really have a whole lot of great chances.”

The event is the second-to-last tournament before the FedEx Cup playoffs begin, with some players near the 70-player cutoff failing to advance to the weekend. Nick Dunlap (64th in the standings), Luke List (71st) and defending champion Lee Hodges (73rd) missed the cut.

2024 Senior PGA Championship final results: Prize money payout, PGA Tour Champions leaderboard, how much each golfer won

The 2024 Senior PGA Championship final leaderboard is headed by winner Richard Bland, who topped the PGA Tour Champions leaderboard this week with a major win on the 2024 PGA Tour Champions schedule at The Club at Harbor Shores Resort in Benton Harbor, Mich.

Bland closed the second major of the senior season with a 63 to pull away from the field and win by three shots on 17-under 267. The Australian Richard Green finished runner-up on the week, while Greg Chalmers finished in third.

Jason Caron had an incredible week to finish T-4 with Asian Tour regular Scott Hend, who made it three Aussies in the top five.

Bland won the $630,000 winner's share of the $3,500,000 purse.

Senior PGA Championship recap notes

Bland wins the 11th PGA Tour Champions title of the year, getting into the winner's circle on the 50-plus tour.

The money Bland (were he a member) -- and every PGA Tour Champions player in the field -- earned is converted into Charles Schwab Cup points, with every dollar converted into two points during the Charles Schwab Cup playoffs.

There is no cut on PGA Tour Champions-run events, including the major championships they run. Every pro who finished the tournament was paid, though there was a 36-hole cut to the top 70 and ties as this event is run by the PGA of America.

The 2024 PGA Tour Champions schedule continues next week with the Principal Charity Classic in Iowa.
