Hey everyone, it’s your boy back at it again with another deep dive into the world of golf. Today, I wanted to get into something that really gets my gears turning – the lowest 72-hole scores under par on the PGA Tour. You know, those moments when players just absolutely crush it out there, leaving us mere mortals in awe.
So, I started by hitting up the usual spots online, trying to piece together a list of these insane performances. I spent hours just scrolling through pages and pages of stats, tournament results, and player profiles. Man, it was like trying to find a needle in a haystack. But I was determined, you know? I wanted to see for myself who these guys were and how they managed to pull off such ridiculous scores.
After what felt like forever, I finally started to see some names popping up more than others. Names like Cameron Smith, you know, the guy who just seems to be on fire every time he steps onto the course.
The Top Dogs
- Cameron Smith, who, in 2022, carded a -34 at the Sentry Tournament of Champions.
- Ernie Els, who went -31 at the 2003 Mercedes Championships.
- Dustin Johnson, with a -30 at the 2020 Northern Trust.
- Jon Rahm, also at -27 during the 2022 Sentry Tournament of Champions.
I dug deeper into each of these tournaments, watching highlights, reading articles, the whole nine yards. It’s crazy to think about the level of focus and skill it takes to maintain that kind of performance over four rounds. I mean, I can barely keep it together for 18 holes, let alone 72! These guys are just wired differently. It’s like every shot is dialed in, every putt is dropping, and they’re just in this zone that seems to last the entire tournament.
I ended up compiling all this data, and what I found was just mind-blowing. It’s one thing to read the numbers, but when you actually see the rounds and understand the context, it’s a whole other level of appreciation.
So yeah, that’s my little adventure into the world of record-breaking golf scores. It’s been a wild ride, but totally worth it. I hope you guys enjoyed this as much as I did. Keep swinging, folks!
