Who won the most PGA Tour events in a row? Golf’s greatest consecutive winning streaks revealed

Archie Starkey 02 Jun 2025

Winning once on the PGA Tour is a feat many golfers dream of; winning back-to-back is exceptional.

But winning four or more PGA Tour events in a row?

That’s the stuff legends are made of, with only a select group achieving the feat.

Following World No.1 Scottie Scheffler’s triumph at Memorial, his third victory in the last six events, it seems inevitable that at some point, a streak of PGA Tour event wins is coming.

He’s supplemented this third Major win at the PGA Championship with successes at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson and Memorial Tournament, finding red-hot form ahead of the U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club in less than a fortnight.

There seems to be no end to his winning, with a spot in the following elite group seeming inevitable.

Vijay Singh in 2004, Rory McIlroy in 2014 and Dustin Johnson in 2017 are the only golfers to have mustered three consecutive tournament wins this century.

Let’s take a look at the quartet with at least four consecutive PGA Tour wins…

8. Ben Hogan – 4 consecutive wins (1953)

One of the most iconic figures in golf, Ben Hogan was at his peak in the early 1950s. In 1953, he went on a tear, winning four consecutive events, including the Masters, U.S. Open and Open Championship that year.

Hogan’s precision and mental strength made him nearly unbeatable in the stretch where he cemented his place as an all-time great.

7. Jack Burke Jr. – 4 consecutive wins (1952)

A somewhat underrated name in the annals of golf, Jack Burke Jr. made a lasting impression with his incredible four-win streak in 1952, seeing off the likes of Hogan.

His consistent ball-striking and solid putting propelled him through a dominant month, placing him among the few to achieve this rare feat.

6. Byron Nelson – 4 consecutive wins (1945–1946)

While Byron Nelson is best known for a much larger streak (more on that later), he also had a stretch of four straight victories that spanned from late 1945 into early 1946.

The streak was just a continuation of the dominance that defined Nelson’s era, highlighting his sustained excellence even outside of his record-setting run.

5. Tiger Woods – 5 consecutive wins (2007–2008)

Tiger’s ability to go on hot streaks was unmatched in modern golf, his 2007 to 2008 run of five straight wins a prime example.

With his physical quality and mental fortitude aligned, Woods took down every field he faced, further fuelling the mystique of Tiger during this era.

4. Ben Hogan – 6 consecutive wins (1948)

Earlier in his career, Hogan strung together six consecutive wins in 1948, showcasing the sheer dominance he held over the field during that period.

The run was a display of relentlessness and Hogan’s trademark focus, which was needed down the stretch.

It was one of the most dominant spells in golf before Tiger’s era.

3. Tiger Woods – 6 consecutive wins (1999–2000)

As the new millennium approached, Tiger was in full flight.

His six-win streak from 1999 to 2000 included victories at marquee events, and it laid the groundwork for what would become the legendary ‘Tiger Slam’.

His dominance at this time changed the landscape of professional golf forever.

2. Tiger Woods – 7 consecutive wins (2006–2007)

Perhaps one of the most overlooked Tiger feats due to the sheer volume of his achievements, his 2006 to 2007 streak included seven straight PGA Tour victories.

It was a masterclass in consistency, power, and mental toughness in sustaining his best golf. It was proof that, at his best, no one could touch Tiger.

1. Byron Nelson – 11 consecutive wins (1945)

This streak is arguably the holy grail of golfing records, with 11 straight wins on the PGA Tour in a single season.

In 1945, Nelson produced a level of consistency that was never seen before or since, winning 18 total events that year.

His 11-tournament run remains one of the most unbreakable records in sports history, a symbol of complete and utter dominance.

Players with at least four consecutive event wins:

8. Ben Hogan – 4 wins (1953)
7. Jack Burke Jr. – 4 wins (1952)
6. Byron Nelson – 4 wins (1945–1946)
5. Tiger Woods – 5 wins (2007–2008)
4. Ben Hogan – 6 wins (1948)
3. Tiger Woods – 6 wins (1999–2000)
2. Tiger Woods – 7 wins (2006–2007)
1. Byron Nelson – 11 wins (1945)
