PGA Tour winner divides opinion with audacious Tiger Woods claim
One-time PGA Tour winner and Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee believes Tiger Woods deserves the outright record of PGA Tour wins.

Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee believes Tiger Woods has the most PGA Tour wins of all time despite being tied on 82 with late great Sam Snead.
Why? Well, Chamblee points to the fact that Snead has five team wins counting on his victory record, whereas Woods has none.
Snead, who died aged 89 in 2002, won 82 times on the PGA Tour between 1936 and 1965.
The seven-time major champion also won five times in team events at the following events:
1938 Inverness Invitational Fourball with Vic Ghezzi
1939 Miami Biltmore International Fourball with Ralph Guldahl
1940 Inverness Invitational Fourball with Ralph Guldahl
1950 Inverness Invitational Fourball with Jim Ferrier
1952 Inverness Invitational Fourball with Jim Ferrier

Woods’ sole WGC-World Cup win alongside David Duval in 2010 did not count as an official win on the PGA Tour, for those casting their minds back to that one.
That just sits as ‘other win’ on Woods’ record.
Chamblee, who won his sole PGA Tour title at the 1998 Greater Vancouver Open, made his feelings be known on X / Twitter following Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry’s team victory at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

McIlroy and Lowry revealed earlier this season that they had agreed to team up for the first time together in this year’s Zurich Classic after discussing the subject over a ‘drunken lunch’ over the Christmas period.
