Most Bracelets in One Year

Eight players have won three bracelets in a single year. Puggy Pearson was the first to do it in 1973, an impressive feat when there were only seven events. It took two decades for anyone to match him, but amazingly both Phil Hellmuth and Ted Forrest scored the hat trick in 1993 when there were 21 tournaments. Phil Ivey joined the group in 2002, Jeff Lisandro in 2009, George Danzer in 2014 (including one bracelet at the WSOP Asia-Pacific), Scott Seiver in 2024, and Benny Glaser in 2025.
