His four victories were second to Bernhard Langer and his 14 top-10 finishes were third on Tour. Was among the leaders in several statistical categories, including putting average (2nd), scoring average (3rd) and driving distance (3rd). He also led all players in birdies (383) and eagles (18) and was second to Langer in sub-par rounds (60) and Rounds in the 60s (45).

• Charles Schwab Cup Championship: Was T9 at the Charles Schwab Cup Championship which led to a third-place finish in the final Charles Schwab Cup standings.
• PowerShares QQQ Championship: Made a run for his fifth victory of the year in late October at the PowerShares QQQ Championship.

• PURE Insurance Championship: Set a new Poppy Hills GC 18-hole scoring record with an 8-under-par 63 in the first round of the PURE Insurance Championship and would eventually finish third overall.

• Shaw Charity Classic: Became a winner for the fourth time in early September when he held off Miguel Angel Jimenez for a one-stroke victory at the Shaw Charity Classic in Calgary. Opened with a 7-under-par 63 and followed with a 6-under-par 64 to open a two-stroke margin after 36 holes. A final-round 67 was good enough for the victory. Posted three eagles in the event, the second time he had done so in 2017. He also had three at the Allianz Championship, his first win of the year.
• DICK'S Sporting Goods Open: Won his third title of 2017 when he closed with three consecutive birdies to defeat Kevin Sutherland by one stroke at the DICK'S Sporting Goods Open.

• Constellation SENIOR PLAYERS Championship: Broke through for his first major title in July when he overcame a six-stroke deficit in the final day to claim the Constellation SENIOR PLAYERS Championship by one stroke over Bernhard Langer and Brandt Jobe. His six-stroke, come-from-behind victory, the fourth of his PGA TOUR Champions career, matched the tournament record which was set in 2000 by Raymond Floyd, who shot a final-round 66 and erased a six-shot deficit to win.
• Principal Charity Classic: Nearly defended his title at the Principal Charity Classic in June when his late final-round charge led to a T2 finish, one behind his former college teammate Brandt Jobe. His Sunday charge included consecutive birdies from Nos. 8-13 and a bogey-free 6-under-par 66.
• Regions Tradition: Had a productive two-week run in late May when he contended in back-to-back weeks. Finished T2 at the Regions Tradition and T5 at the KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship.

Had three eagles over 54 holes, including two in the final round with the other coming on No. 7.

Shared the 36-hole lead with Byrum and trailed by as much as three strokes eight holes into the final round before battling back to take the lead when Byrum made a bogey at No. 14. The pair exchanged birdies to finish at 13-under-par and he won the event when he sank a six-foot birdie on the first extra hole.
• Pacific Links Bear Mountain Championship: Was the 18-and 36-hole leader at the Pacific Links Bear Mountain Championship in September in Canada after rounds of 62-66, but eventually fell in a three-hole playoff with Colin Montgomerie. Was one stroke in front going to the 54th hole, but an errant drive forced him to take an unplayable lie which led to a bogey and the playoff. After each made pars on the first two holes, Montgomerie ended the affair with a 15-foot birdie on the third hole.
• The Senior Open Championship presented by Rolex: Was among the leaders all four days at the Senior Open Championship at Carnoustie in July. Closed with a 3-under-par 69 on Sunday but bogeys on Nos. 16 and 18 for the second straight day doomed his chances and he finished two back of Paul Broadhurst.
• Principal Charity Classic: Recorded his first PGA TOUR Champions victory in early June when he prevailed by a stroke over Billy Andrade and Miguel Angel Jimenez at the Principal Charity Classic in Iowa. Birdies on his final three holes basically closed the door on those in pursuit on Sunday. One of his key birdies came on No. 17 when he drained a 36-foot birdie putt to give him the outright lead. Played his final 47 holes without a bogey and was 14-under-par over his final 44 holes. Was 11-under-par on the par-5s for the week and the victory ended a drought of 287 events dating back to his 2001 win at the PGA TOUR's BellSouth Classic in Atlanta.
