GOLFERS WITH MOST PGA TOUR WINS

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 fiftieth 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). Accumulating twenty 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 forties, and go through a hiatus in their career before they qualify for the Champions Tour, but those with twenty wins avoid this problem. 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.
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 end of the Deutsche Bank Championship on September 3, 2007.
