Tiger Woods has won 15 major championships.
His total comes from five Masters Tournament victories, four PGA Championship wins, three U.S. Open titles, and three Open Championship victories. That places Woods second on the men’s all-time major-championship list, behind Jack Nicklaus, who won 18.
Woods’s major victories span from his breakthrough at the 1997 Masters to his dramatic 2019 Masters comeback. He completed the career Grand Slam by winning all four major tournaments, and he achieved that feat three times—matching Nicklaus for the most in men’s golf.
The number 18 is a frequent mix-up because it is Nicklaus’s total, not Woods’s. The number 14 was Woods’s major total after his 2008 U.S. Open victory; he later added the 2019 Masters to reach 15. His 82 PGA Tour wins are a separate record category and should not be confused with his major-championship count.
