Golfers with most PGA Tour wins

This is a list of all the golfers who have won twenty or more official 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 very unlikely to add to his tally of PGA TOUR wins after that date. Accumulating twenty wins is very significant because it gives a golfer "lifetime membership" on the PGA TOUR. This means that he 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.

• {{note|JimBarnes}} Jim Barnes learned his golf in England, but became a U.S. citizen soon after moving to the United States in 1906.

The PGA Tour recognised 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.
