With only a few events remaining in 1996 to secure a coveted player’s card for the PGA Tour, he showcased his exceptional talent by clinching victory twice and finishing among the top 30 money winners with $790,594.
Woods continued his meteoric rise the following year, claiming four PGA TOUR triumphs, including one on foreign soil, and earning the title of leading money winner.
