Learn about our Editorial Process Updated on 08/02/19 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.

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. 1990 The Tradition at Desert Mountain1990 Mazda Senior Tournament Players Championship1991 The Tradition at Desert Mountain1991 PGA Seniors' Championship1991 U.S. Senior Open1993 U.S. Senior Open1994 Mercedes Championships1995 The Tradition1996 GTE Suncoast Classic1996 The Tradition
