PGA Tour wins discrepancies[edit]

There are several discrepancies with Cooper's PGA Tour wins listed in "The History of the PGA TOUR" by Al Barkow (which I think has to be considered the official list since the book is copyrighted by the PGA Tour) and those listed on the World Golf Hall of Fame website. Some of these are alternate names for the same event and some are wrong years listed on the WGHoF site. I've listed these below. I've confirmed that Cooper won all the events listed in Barkow's book (in the years stated) by looking at digitized newspaper accounts an ancestry.com. The only remaining discrepancy is the 30 wins listed in Barkow's book and the number 31 given in the PGA Tour Media Guides on the all-time win list. Cooper is not the only golfer with a discrepancy of a win or two - it seems that the PGA Tour made some changes to their "official win list" after the 1989 publication of the book (besides adding all the British Open wins).
