Here are the answers to those questions plus more statistical goodies about the PGA Tour in the 2000s:
Most Wins
Tiger Woods, 56
Vijay Singh, 26
Phil Mickelson, 24
Kenny Perry, 11
Those are the only golfers with double-digit wins in the decade of the 2000s. David Toms, Jim Furyk and Ernie Els came close with nine victorie each. Justin Leonard had eight. And with seven wins were Retief Goosen, Sergio Garcia, Mike Weir, Davis Love III, K.J. Choi and Adam Scott.
In terms of winning percentage, Woods won 33-percent of starts, Singh won 9.8-percent, and Mickelson won 11 percent.
Most Top 10s
Tiger Woods, 121
Vijay Singh, 118
Phil Mickelson, 96
Jim Furyk, 93
Ernie Els, 73
David Toms, 73
Davis Love III, 67
Stewart Cink, 64
Jerry Kelly, 62
Scott Verplank, 60
It's a little surprising at first glance that Tiger barely beats out Vijay for most Top 10s. Until you recall that Singh plays a lot more tournaments than Woods. In fact, during the 2000s, Singh played nearly 100 more PGA Tour events than Woods.
So, again, Woods is way out in front in Top 10 percentage: Woods, 73.7 percent; Singh, 44.7 percent; Mickelson, 44.0 percent.
Most Wins by International Players
Vijay Singh, 26
Ernie Els, 9
K.J. Choi, 7
Adam Scott, 7
Sergio Garcia, 7
Mike Weir, 7
Retief Goosen, 7
Geoff Ogilvy, 6
Stuart Appleby, 5
Padraig Harrington, 5
Rory Sabbatini, 5
There were 479 PGA Tour events played during the 2000s, 169 different golfers won those tournaments, and 159 of those tournaments were won by international golfers. Australia produced the most international players to win PGA Tour events - 12 - and was the country (outside the U.S.) with the most total victories (33).
Most Majors
Tiger Woods, 12
Padraig Harrington, 3
Phil Mickelson, 3
Angel Cabrera, 2
Retief Goosen, 2
Vijay Singh, 2
These are the only golfers with multiple majors in the 2000s. There were 40 majors played in the decade, and those majors were won by 22 different golfers.
Aces/Double Eagles
As pointed out in our articles on hole-in-one odds and double-eagle odds, double-eagles are much rarer than aces.
On the PGA Tour in the 2000s, there were 310 aces but only 38 double eagles. Robert Allenby led with six of those aces; Tim Petrovic led with three of those double eagles.
The longest hole-in-one on the PGA Tour during the decade was 250 yards, scored by Jay Williamson during the 2008 Wachovia.
