- Becomes the first player in history to win the US Open and US PGA Championship back-to-back in a career

- Joins Tiger Woods (1999-2000 and 2006-2007) as the only players to win back-to-back PGA Championships since it moved to stroke play in 1958

- Becomes the first male golfer in history to hold two different majors back-to-back at the same time, and the first to win his first four majors in less than two years

- Becomes the first player since Hal Sutton in 1983 to win the PGA Championship in wire-to-wire fashion
