Tiger Woods ties record for most PGA Tour wins ever, and fans were so fired up

Tiger Woods kicked off his PGA Tour season by winning the Zozo Championship in Chiba, Japan. Woods outlasted second-place-finishing Hideki Matsuyama and finished -18 for the tournament.

It was Woods’ 82nd career PGA Tour win, which ties Sam Snead for the most PGA Tour wins of all time.

It was a dominant performance from the 43-year-old Woods, as he got off to a hot start and rode it throughout the weekend. The tournament had to delay its finish until Monday morning in Japan due to inclement weather, but Woods took care of business under blue skies and closed out the tournament. He finished with a birdie.

A lot of people were fired up for the history-making win.

There it is: Tiger Woods has tied Sam Snead for the all-time PGA Tour victory record. After four back surgeries. A three-year hiatus from the winner’s circle. A separate five-year drought. He’s been the game’s most dominant player. Now he’s easily the most resilient.

“I vow to never, ever declare Tiger to be done. I will be tempted, but I will look back on this tweet and recall this solemn promise. The cat has eternal life.”

As an 18 year old kid seeing him break through and win at the @TheMasters it got me hooked on the game of golf like no other. Now as a 41 year old man seeing him win #82 I’m a bigger fan now than I ever was. Congratulations @TigerWoods You deserve every single bit of it
