Milwaukee Championship Winners

The Milwaukee Championship has, on several occasions, been won by the same golfer twice, but no-one has managed a consecutive victory at Brown Deer Park, or has taken the coveted title three or more times.

Two-Time Milwaukee Championship Winners

• Cary Middlecoff – 1955 & 1958
• Ken Venturi – 1957 & 1960
• Dave Stockton – 1968 & 1973
• Dave Eichelberger – 1971 & 1977
• Calvin Peete – 1979 & 1982
• Scott Hoch – 1995 & 1997
• Corey Pavin – 1986 & 2006
• Loren Roberts 1996 & 2000
• Jeff Sluman – 1998 & 2002
• Carlos Franco – 1999 & 2004

Another notable point is that only six non-American golfers have been successful in Milwaukee since the dawn of the event in 1940. This is quite remarkable as it is a well-known fact that many European golfers opt to play the richer PGA Tour instead of their home-based European Tour.

Milwaukee Championship Winners: Non-Americans

• Richard S. Johnson of Sweden
• Carlos Franco of Paraguay
• Shigeki Maruyama of Japan
• Richard Zokol of Canada
• Greg Norman of Australia
• Bruce Crampton of Australia

Perhaps the reason why the Americans have been so dominant at Milwaukee is that it offers the obvious home-ground advantage, as well as familiarity with the course. Even seasoned campaigners like South Africa’s Gary Player and Tim Clark, Puerto Rico’s Chi Chi Rodriguez and South Korea’s Charlie Wi have walked away from Wisconsin empty-handed.

In the past 40 years not a single player from Britain has lifted the championship title. Here is a complete list of Milwaukee Championship winners since 1940.
