Tiger Woods at the weekend won the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, giving him five PGA Tour victories this season. Woods has won at least five in 10 seasons, but it is not that easy. Steve Elling finds only five men who won at least five over the past 40 years:
2004: Vijay Singh
For one shining season, the Fijian stole the spotlight from Woods, winning an astonishing nine times while playing seemingly every week. He won the PGA Championship that year, and moved past Woods to No 1 in the world.
1994: Nick Price
The affable Zimbabwean was scalding hot in mid-season, winning four times in three months, including at the British Open and the PGA Championship. He ended the season with six victories and also the world No 1 ranking.
1980: Tom Watson He won at least five tournaments for four consecutive seasons, beginning in 1977, as he emerged from the shadow of Jack Nicklaus. In 1980 Watson won seven, including the British Open, the World Series of Golf and the Byron Nelson.
1975: Jack Nicklaus The Golden Bear led the tour with five-plus wins five times, including the final time he did it, in the season he considers his strongest. He won the Masters and the PGA in 1975, and missed a play-off for the US Open by two shots and the British Open by one.
1974: Johnny Miller The Californian won 25 tour events in his career, eight of them in 1974. He reeled off three victories in January, at Pebble Beach, Phoenix and Tucson, and added five more, including the World Open Championship.
