Tiger Woods passes Arnold Palmer in PGA Tour’s all-time wins
After grabbing the title at the Accenture Match Play event, Tiger Woods is now fourth on the U.S. PGA Tour’s all-time wins list with 63 career victories, passing Arnold Palmer who had 62, and two notches away from taking Ben Hogan’s position at third.
The world’s No. 1 ranked golfer beat J.B. Holmes, Arron Oberholser, Aaron Baddeley, K.J. Choi and defending champion Henrik Stenson before defeating Cink 8 and 7 in Match Play’s final at The Gallery at Dove Mountain in Marana, Arizona. It was his third win at the event.
The win gave Woods one more than Palmer, who won 62 of 478 events during his career. Woods, who has played in 218 tournaments, needs 20 Tour wins to pass Sam Snead and become No. 1 on the all-time wins list. Snead has 82 victories, followed by Jack Nicklaus with 73 and Ben Hogan with 64. Hogan won 26 percent of tournaments he entered, compared with 29 percent for Woods.
