The Arnie & Jack Double

Jack Nicklaus has hosted The Memorial since 1976. Arnold Palmer has hosted Bay Hill - what is now the Arnold Palmer Invitational - since 1979. How many golfers have won both the legends' events?

Just six:

  • Paul Azinger - 1988 Bay Hill, 1993 Memorial
  • Fred Couples - 1992 Bay Hill, 1998 Memorial
  • Ernie Els - 1998 Bay Hill, 2004 Memorial
  • Tiger Woods - 1999-2001 Bay Hill, 2000-2003 Memorial
  • Kenny Perry - 2005 Bay Hill, 1991 and 2003 Memorial
  • Vijay Singh - 2007 Bay Hill, 1997 Memorial

No slouches on that list. Tiger is the only golfer to win both in the same year.

There are three winners of Arnie's tournament who have not yet won Jack's in the field at The Memorial this week: Phil Mickelson, Chad Campbell and Rod Pampling.
