2011 – Gary Woodlands with First Win!

Long-hitting Gary Woodland scored the first victory on the PGA TOUR with a one-shot triumph in the 2011 Transitions Championship.

He survived a wild back nine with only one par – on the 18th hole – to post a fourth-round 67, good for a score of 15 under par. His title became official when Webb Simpson, playing in the final group, bogeyed that final hole, to fall out of a tie with Woodland . His 14 under score was two shots better than third-place Scott Stallings.

Woodland, among the longest hitters on TOUR, used a reliable putter to post the win. He took only 23 putts in the final round -- 10 on the back nine. According to the Shotlink data, he didn't miss a single putt inside 20 feet in the final round.

2010

Jim Furyk survived a shaky 72nd hole, his final hole of the week in The Snake Pit, to win the 2010 Transitions Championship by one stroke over K.J. Choi on Sunday.

Furyk’s final-round 69 left him with a score of 13 under par 271 as he claimed his 14th PGA TOUR® victory. With his victory, Furyk earned $972,000 and 500 FedEx points. Two rising young players, Bubba Watson at 11 under, Nick Watney at 9 under and 2009 champion Retief Goosen at 8-under rounded out the top five.

2009

Retief Goosen took an important step toward rejoining the elite in golf Sunday by closing with a 1-under 70 for a one-shot victory in the Transitions Championship, his first PGA TOUR win in nearly four years.

Goosen had a two-shot lead with three holes to play on the demanding Copperhead Course at Innisbrook, when just like everyone else, he struggled to hang on. The two-time U.S. Open champion barely made it.

Needing only two putts from 25 feet for the win, he watched his first putt roll 5 feet past the hole. His par putt curled in the side of the cup, giving him a one-shot victory over Charles Howell III and Brett Quigley.

2008

Overcoming windy weather that drove scores to their highest level ever on the Copperhead, Sean O'Hair claimed a two-shot victory over a pack of six golfers with a score of 4-under, the highest ever to win the tournament.

O'Hair's final round 69 enabled him to make up five shots on third-round leader Stewart Cink who had a two-shot lead through 54 holes (three ahead of O'Hair).

It was the second PGA TOUR victory for the 25-year-old O'Hair, who also became the youngest winner in tournament history.

2007

Veteran pro Mark Calcavecchia survived a 72nd hole bogey to win by one shot over Heath Slocum and John Senden. The victory was the 13th of his career and pushed him to more than $20 million in career earnings.

Calcavecchia overcame an opening round 75 to win the tournament, with his big move coming on Saturday when he tied the Copperhead Course record with a sizzling 9-underpar 62.

On Sunday, Calcavecchia played steady golf to after a birdie on the second hole. At one point his lead expanded to three shots, but it was only one over playing partner Slocum as they played the final hole. Calc missed a seven-foot par putt to give Slocum a chance to force a tie with a par, but Heath's four-foot attempt slid by the hole and Calcavecchia was the winner.

2006

K.J. Choi became the first golfer to win two PGA TOUR events on the Copperhead as he pulled away from the field in the final round for a four-shot victory in the final fall event at Innisbrook.

He started the final round with a two-shot lead and then served further notice he would be hard to catch by eagling the first hole. His bogey-free back nine included a birdie at the 18th for a four-under 67. Brett Wetterich closed with a 66 to earn a tie for second with Paul Goydos. With his performance, Goydos vaulted from #160 on the PGA TOUR Money List to #97 and earned his card for 2007.

Ernie Es, two back when Sunday started, struggled with a final round 72, but his 6th-place finish was still good enough to earn a spot in The TOUR Championship.

2005

Carl Pettersson held off a late charge by Chad Campbell to win by one stroke. The native of Sweden was tied with Steve Lowery for the lead at 9-under par through three rounds and then calmly put together 16 pars en route to an even-par 71 on Sunday. Lowery faded on the front nine, but Pettersson still needed steady play down the stretch to hold off Campbell who birdied five holes on the back nine. The talented Texan would have caught Pettersson but for a bogey on the 16th hole, but he still vaulted into the top 30 on the PGA TOUR's money list and clinched a spot in the TOUR Championship.

2004

Vijay Singh further established himself as the top player in the world in winning in record fashion on October 31, 2004. Firing a 6-under-par 65 in the final round, Singh pulled away from fellow competitor Tommy Armour III on the back nine for a five-shot win. His 72-hole score of 266 was a tournament record by one shot over K.J. Choi's total in 2002.

With the win Singh pocketed $900,000 and became the first PGA TOUR golfer to win $10 million in one season. It was his 9th victory of the year and the 24th of his career.

Singh was a major figure in the tournament from the opening round when he shot 65, although the Thursday lead belonged to Jeff Sluman who shot a course-record 9-under 62. Singh moved into the lead in the 3rd round with a 67, one ahead of Armour. He furthered his advantage with birdies on the first two holes Sunday and carried a 3-shot advantage into the final hole. He ended the tournament with a flourish making birdie, while Armour took bogey to fall into a second-place tie with Jesper Parnevik.
