The 59 remains the only time Woods has posted golf's magic number. And, interestingly, he's never shot 60 in his life. “I've shot 61 a bunch,” he says. Four times on tour, to be exact, most recently in the second round of the 2013 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club.

59 for being the first player to shoot the score in an official PGA Tour event, the 1977 Danny Thomas Memphis Classic at par-72 Colonial Country Club.

Max Homa has the longest official drive in PGA Tour history (477 yards). The majority of the longest drives have occurred at The Plantation Course in Hawaii.

That would mean hitting 18 perfect tee shots and 18 perfect second shots and landing in the cup in no more than one or two putts. But no one is ever going to birdie 18 holes. In the perfect game you reach the green in the fewest possible number of strokes and hole your first putt.

Has anyone shot 57 on the PGA Tour? ›

Del Solar made the turn in 8-under 27, tying the low nine-hole score in Korn Ferry Tour history, then added three more birdies and an eagle on his back nine at Country Club de Bogotá-Pacos in Bogota, Colombia, to become the first man to shoot 57 in any PGA TOUR-sanctioned event.

Woods has hit a hole-in-one 20 times in the course of his lifetime, his first at the age of six. Three have come in PGA Tour competitions - at the 1996 Greater Milwaukee Open, 1997 Phoenix Open, and 1998 Sprint International. Woods is the only professional golfer to win four majors in a row.

Twelve players have shot 59 or lower in PGA Tour history. The first to do so was Al Geiberger — Mr. 59 — at Memphis in 1977.

This is a feat that only between 1% and 3% of golfers can accomplish. Averaging below 70 is an even smaller percentage.

Carey was the first player with a 57 on a tour that is part of the Official World Golf Ranking. He shot 57 — with pars on the final two holes — at the 2019 Cervino Open on the Alps Tour, one of the European circuits that is two levels below the European tour.
