This is a list of golfers who have won eight or more events on the European Tour since it was established in 1972.
There are some complications in preparing such a list, and different publications have produced different numbers.
This list is based on what the European Tour reports the victories being according to their own player guide (through the 2009 season).
There have always been some leading European players or European Tour members from outside Europe who have gone on to play part or full-time on the U.S.-based PGA Tour and cut back their commitments in Europe, and this seems to be an increasing trend.
Only Miguel Ángel Jiménez and Phil Mickelson have ever won a European Tour event after turning 50,[3] and only three golfers of that age have won on the PGA Tour since 1975.
