His most successful season on tour came in 1996, when he notched two victories, one at the Kemper Open and the other at Motorola Western Open, and seven top ten finishes on his way to finishing fourth on the 1996 PGA Tour money list. Stricker's third and most impressive win came at the 2001 WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, where he defeated Pierre Fulke 2 and 1 to earn the $1,000,000 prize. He won the The Barclays tournament on August 26, 2007 ending an 11-year losing span on American soil.

In 1998, Steve Stricker played himself into contention in the final round of the PGA Championship at Sahalee Country Club in Redmond, Washington. Thanks to a back-nine surge, PGA Tour veteran Vijay Singh bested Stricker down the stretch and claimed a two-stroke victory. The runner-up finish remains Stricker's best result in a major championship.
Stricker has six times finished inside the Top 20 at the U.S. Open, his best finish a fifth-place score at the 1999 U.S. Open played at Pinehurst No. 2.

In 2006 Stricker was voted PGA Tour Comeback Player of the Year, largely due to his seven top-10 finishes. His renewed form continued throughout 2007, qualifying for the Presidents Cup and after his victory at The Barclays, Stricker reached a high of 4th in the Official World Golf Rankings. Stricker finished runner-up in the 2007 FedEx Cup Playoffs to Tiger Woods.

In 2008 at the Mercedes Benz Championship Stricker lost out in a play-off to Daniel Chopra. This result took him to 3rd in the world rankings. He has spent over 50 weeks in the top-10 of the rankings since 2007.

In the 2009 Stricker won his fifth tournament on tour at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial at the end of May with a playoff win over Tim Clark and Steve Marino. This was helped by a crucial 60 foot chip-in on the penultimate 71st hole of the championship. He won again at the John Deere Classic in Silvis, Illinois. After a rained-out second round on Friday, the field was forced to play 36-holes on Sunday. Stricker shot an afternoon round of 64, which included a holed wedge shot for eagle on the 6th hole. He went on to win the event by three strokes over Zach Johnson, Brandt Snedeker and Brett Quigley.
