Who holds the PGA Tour record for most consecutive tournament wins?

Byron Nelson holds the PGA Tour record for most consecutive tournament wins, with 11 in a row.

Nelson set the record during his remarkable 1945 season. His streak began with the Miami Four-Ball in March and ended with the Canadian Open in August. Across the full year, Nelson won 18 of the 30 PGA Tour events he entered, making 1945 one of the most dominant seasons in golf history.

The run included victories in regular tour events and the 1945 PGA Championship. Nelson won that major at Moraine Country Club in Ohio, defeating Sam Byrd in the match-play final. The streak covered roughly 150 days, but it was a sequence of tournament starts and wins—not 11 events played on consecutive calendar days or weeks.

Tiger Woods is often mentioned because he won six consecutive PGA Tour starts from 1999 into 2000. That is an extraordinary modern streak, but it remains five victories short of Nelson’s record. Nelson’s 1945 achievement is also distinct from his record of 18 wins in one season.
