Are there any father-son combinations who have won on the PGA Tour? Where both the father and son were tournament winners? Yes, there are several. Here's the list:

• Tom Morris Sr.-Tom Morris Jr.
• Willie Park-Willie Park Jr.
• Joe Kirkwood Sr.-Joe Kirkwood Jr.
• Jack Burke Sr.-Jack Burke Jr.
• Clayton Heafner-Vance Heafner
• Julius Boros-Guy Boros
• Al Geiberger-Brent Geiberger

The Morrises and Parks were winners in the very early days of the British Open, many decades before a PGA Tour even existed. However, British Open winners are retroactively credited with official wins on the PGA Tour, so these two pioneering families of golf make the list.

The Nicklauses barely missed making this list. Jack's son Gary lost a playoff to Phil Mickelson at the 2000 BellSouth Classic.

What about on other tours? There are three father-son champions on the European Tour, Antonio and Ignacio Garrido, Jose Maria and Alejandro Canizares, and Craig and Kevin Stadler.

The LPGA Tour has never had a mother and daughter each win.
