( CNN ) -- Tiger Woods won his 75th PGA Tour title at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines on Monday to ensure his 2013 season started in fine fashion . After fog had taken the California tournament into a fifth day , Woods finished 14-under 274 to win the $ 6.1 million event by four shots . It was the 23rd time he has won by such a margin or more on the U.S. circuit and was his record eighth victory at the course , where he also claimed the last of his 14 majors in 2008 . No other player has won more times at any venue . It took the American to within seven victories of Sam Snead 's record tally of 82 . Combined with his seven wins apiece at both Firestone Country Club and Bay Hill Club and Lodge , 22 of Woods ' 75 career wins have now come at just three courses . This represents a significant 29 percent of the 37-year-old 's tally of PGA Tour wins . `` This is a nice way to start the year , '' Woods said after the victory . `` My expectations for the year are the same -- to go out there and win every tournament I play in . `` Setting my sights on being No.1 comes as a result of winning golf tournaments and being consistent . `` That 's how I got there and in order for me to get back there , that 's what I have to do -- and this is a good start . '' Starting the day six strokes clear , the world No . 2 carded a level-par 72 in his final round to finish ahead of defending champion Brandt Snedeker and Josh Teater , who were both 10-under . Resuming play on Monday with 11 holes remaining , Woods had to wait until the 13th hole for his first birdie of the day but his game then dropped off as a slow finish prompted some loose strokes . `` I lost a little bit of patience out there and unfortunately it affected my play a little bit , '' added Woods . Two bogeys and a double bogey between the 14th and the 17th took some of the shine off his victory and allowed Snedeker and Teater to narrow the gap . Fellow Americans Jimmy Walker and Nick Watney finished joint fourth on 279 , while Australia 's Aaron Baddeley was in a group tied for sixth another shot back . Baddeley 's compatriot Jason Day was tied for ninth on 281 in a group including South Korean veteran K.J . Choi plus Canadians Graham DeLaet and Brad Fritsch .
