Tiger Woods won the World Golf Championships–Accenture Match Play Championship three times.
His victories came in 2003, 2004 and 2008. The event was a high-level match-play tournament featuring elite players from the Official World Golf Ranking, with matches decided hole by hole rather than by a cumulative 72-hole score. Woods remains the tournament’s record holder for wins.
Woods won the first two titles in consecutive years. In 2003, he defeated David Toms 2 and 1 in the final. In 2004, he successfully defended the title, becoming the only player to defend the Match Play Championship successfully. He returned to win again in 2008, beating Stewart Cink 8 and 7 in the final.
The number is easy to confuse with Woods’ broader World Golf Championships record. He won 18 individual WGC events overall, but only three were Match Play titles. The Accenture name was used during part of the tournament’s history; the event later changed sponsors and was ultimately discontinued after the 2023 edition.
