Winning once on the PGA Tour is a great feat that many golfers dream to win. Winning the same tournament three times in a row is something only a few can accomplish. It has only been done by six golfers, with the list including greats like Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus.
The last time the feat was achieved on the PGA Tour was at the 2011 John Deere Classic. Here are the six PGA Tour golfers to have accomplished a three-peat on the tour.
PGA Tour golfers who won a three-peat

Stricker won the John Deere Classic in 2009, 2010 and 2011. He's the latest PGA Tour golfer to have achieved the feat.

From 2001 to 2004, Woods won the Bay Hill Invitational, now called the Arnold Palmer Invitational on the PGA Tour. He also went on to win the World Golf Championships-CA Championship from 2005, 2006 and 2007. Woods also won the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational from 2005 to 2007.
