Tiger Woods earned his first PGA Tour victory in the Las Vegas Invitational on October 6, 1996. The tournament was a 90-hole event; Woods finished at 27 under par and defeated Davis Love III on the first playoff hole at TPC Summerlin.
Golf Digest’s twentieth-anniversary look back revisits the week through photographs and details from the tournament. The final-round 64 and the playoff result make this more than a celebrity association with Las Vegas: the city hosted a specific turning point in professional golf. The original photography remains at Golf Digest, where readers can explore the visual record of the week.
