So, the PDGA gives us the total number of "Career Events" on the player info page (I just noticed this, not sure how long they've been doing that). I was curious about all-time winning percentages. So I cherry-picked some stats from pro men to see how they stack up.

Name - wins/events - %

McBeth 107/296 36.1
Wysocki 104/291 35.7

Climo 223/455 49.0
Schultz 227/522 43.5

Some notable Europeans:

Lundmark 39/94 41.4
Lizotte 67/167 40.1
Nybo 38/114 33.3

Turns out, none of these folks are even close to the top percentages out there in the pro mens field...some win over half the time they enter a tourney!

playerA 100/190 52.6
playerB 91/167 54.5
playerC 55/89 61.8

Can anyone guess who are these mystery players?
 
I'm not going to guess on the mystery players, but I imagine they are top-tier players who don't actually tour much, or if they do, it's more regionalized than national/global. Guys like MJ or Dickerson or Leiviska who pop up at big events now and then but play a bunch of A & B tiers closer to home where they tend to be bigger fish in smaller ponds and accumulate wins that way.
 
Some numbers from the pro womens field:

name - wins/events - %
Korver 223/314 71.0
White 217/346 62.7
Allen 145/266 54.5
King 257/483 53.2
Reading 198/386 51.3
Pierce 106/235 45.1
Jenkins 118/315 37.5
 
The As & Bs are just ways to keep the money coming in for some, I'd like to see the percentages for just the Majors and/or NTs.

That's right. Looking closer at his PDGA page I guess he doesn't travel out of his region a lot, but on the other hand he's got two top 5 finishes in USDGC.

Take a look at what he did in 2004-06.

2004: 7 wins in 10 events (and 2nd at USDGC)
2005: 11 wins in 12 events
2006: 6 wins in 7 events

He won 24/29 events in those three years (82.8%), that is pretty amazing.

Yea, like Eagle has said, he's been winning everything in Colorado for years. Joe even had a chance at the Vibram a couple years back, showing he can hang, even when not playing locally.
