Which PGA Tour event did Tiger Woods win in Japan to tie Sam Snead's 82-win record?

Tiger Woods won the Zozo Championship in Japan to tie Sam Snead’s PGA Tour record of 82 victories. He captured the inaugural 2019 event at Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club in Chiba Prefecture.

Woods led from start to finish, opening with consecutive rounds of 64 before adding a 66 and a final-round 67. His 19-under-par total gave him a three-shot victory over Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama. The win was especially notable because the tournament was the first official PGA Tour event held in Japan.

The victory came during Woods’s return to elite competition after injuries and a long recovery period. It was his third win of 2019, following the Masters, where he claimed his 15th major championship, and the Tour Championship in 2018.

The record was a tie, not an outright lead: Snead had reached 82 PGA Tour wins decades earlier. Woods later moved ahead of Snead by winning the 2020 Farmers Insurance Open, making the Zozo Championship the record-equalling victory rather than the eventual record-breaking one.
