He began his professional career in 1992 and has won 57 professional titles, 45 of which have come on the PGA Tour, by February 2025.

He won the 2021 PGA Championship at the age of 50, making him the oldest golfer to win a championship. He also won the 2021 Charles Schwab Cup Championship, the season-ending event for the PGA Tour Champions. Further, his most notable wins include six major titles, including the 2004, 2006, and 2010 Masters Tournaments, the 2005 and 2021 PGA Championships, and the 2013 Open Championship.
