Months After Ending Tiger Woods’ Historic Reign, 4X Ryder Cup Veteran Accomplishes a Massive $3,956,127 Feat

Tiger Woods stands as one of golf’s most legendary figures. Throughout his career, he consistently secured remarkable victories on the course, garnering a deeply devoted fan following in the process. His golfing accolades are numerous. However, it’s now apparent that his records, amassed over almost three decades, are being bested by other esteemed golfers.

Steve Stricker, former Ryder Cup captain, recently made waves by surpassing one of Tiger Woods’ longstanding records, and now, in a recent highlight of his career, the 56-year-old has set a staggering new benchmark. Here’s a recap of the events that unfolded.

Steve Stricker clinched a roaring win

Steve Stricker secured his sixth victory of the year on the PGA Tour Champions by winning the Sanford International in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. A video clip of his winning putt was uploaded on Instagram by @pgatourchampions with a caption that read: “The SIXTH winning moment for @stevestrickpga this season 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆”

The seasoned golfer earned $300,000 from the tournament, bringing his yearly earnings to just under $4 million, setting a new-record for the highest earnings in a single season on the 50-and-older circuit.

Stricker has consistently performed well throughout the year, with no finish worse than eighth, and three of his six wins came in senior circuit majors. Starting the final round with a one-shot lead, Stricker faced strong competition from KJ Choi. However, Stricker made a crucial eagle putt on the par-5 12th hole and managed to stay ahead with late birdies. Stricker finished at 16-under 194, securing a two-shot victory.

Tiger Woods’ records continue to be shattered. Not long ago Stricker had shattered a famous Woods’ record. The Sanford win was Stricker’s sixth win of the season which again brings Woods into the picture.

Tiger Woods’ elusive record overhauled

Steve Stricker’s 2022 recovery has translated into a remarkable year on the PGA Tour Champions. Stricker’s feat occurred during his participation in the American Family Insurance Championship. In the opening round, the 56-year-old golfer displayed his exceptional skill by shooting an impressive 7-under 65. This round marked his 53rd consecutive round at even par or better in PGA TOUR-sanctioned events, breaking Tiger Woods’ previous record of 52 consecutive rounds held for 22 years.
