Jim Furyk shoots all-time PGA Tour record 58

Published

Aug 7, 2016

Jim Furyk shot 58 on Sunday at the Travelers Championship, the lowest round in PGA Tour history. After making the turn in 27 (he holed out from 135 yards for eagle on the third hole), Furyk recorded birdies at Nos. 10, 11, 12 and 16 to shoot 12-under par on the par-70 course.

Since Al Geiberger shot the first-ever 59 on the PGA Tour in 1977, more than 600,000 rounds have been played on the PGA Tour, as per Golf Channel’s live telecast. That mark had since been tied by Chip Beck (1991 Las Vegas Invitational), David Duval (1999 Bob Hope Classic), Paul Goydos (2010 John Deere Classic), Stuart Appleby (2010 Greenbrier Classic), and most recently, Furyk himself at the BMW Championship in 2013.

History!

Jim Furyk shoots 58!

It’s the lowest round in PGA TOUR history.

Incredible. https://t.co/mzggwHU6tT

After Furyk’s 58 on Sunday, however, the all-time record has been broken.

He began the final round of the Travelers Championship at 1-over, 16 shots behind 54-hole leader Daniel Berger. Furyk finished the week at 11-under, and although he most likely will not come away with a victory, he did cement himself in PGA Tour history.

Maybe instead of a Gold Medal the Olympics should award PXG’s

that’d get more comments than the whole stupid thing did

This round deserves praise, an incredible feat that the best in the world can only dream of. Shooting 12 under is 14 shots better than my best score ever and saying I am impressed is an understatement. Furyk is not a young man and to pull this incredible score gives hope to a lot of other golfers out there.
With all that being said, some of the people posting in the comments appear to be speaking negatively; however, I am leaning towards their side. I feel highlighting the 58 is just to grab media attention after all, 12 under par is something that has been done 9 times so far on the PGA Tour and 3 of the “59’s” were actually 13 under par. Sure, there has never been a 58 carded on tour before Furyk’s round, but there were other scores that matched or beat the under par number. To use an analogy, driving 55mph on the highway is fine, driving 55mph in a 25 is not. We shouldn’t be focusing on the speed limit, i.e. the “58” we should be focusing on the fact that the driver was going 30mph over the limit i.e. the 12 under par. Context is important when dealing with a record of this caliber.

Jims the best ever! How about the rider cup team, Jim? Want to be a captains pick? Or assistant captian?

  Maybe you have not paid attention to his miserable performances in the last few team competitions. Ryder Cup captain’s pick? Not if the US wants to win.

The course is a 72.7, regardless of what the tournament officials want to make par. If one wants to compare course rating for the 59s versus this 58 – fair enough, but otherwise – par is a made up number, irrelevant to one’s actual score.

If you take the 2 longerest par 4 and play them as par 5 like the members do it would have been still a 58 but he would have been 14 under!

I’m happy to see it was Furyk who set the record. As someone who wasn’t gifted with a natural golf swing, I root for the grinders on tour.

What a classless and clueless bunch. “Only a par 70”? Are you kidding? What a waste of electricity. Detract all you want, but Nicklaus and Tiger didn’t manage this is a par 70, just like everyone else in a PGA Tour event ever. If there was world peace, you’d find plenty of negative reactions in comments sections. Morons.

Par 72 is two more par 5’s , he wouldnt have birdied atleast one or maybe both? For 58 or 59. Either way it is 58. All you d***heads saying it was a par 70 are still hoping to crack 90. Just a bunch of envious losers

  It’s really easy to be a keyboard commando. All you have to do is read the comments of certain people and you are aware they are just trolls. I have no doubt jizzle can back it up on the course though, look out Furyk! Lol

  Tigers Woods NEVER won a major on a Par 70 course. Jim had a fantastic round. Glad for Fluff too. Well said Mat!

  They have played this course numerous times and no one else has shot 58. So it is a 58.

GolfWRX Staff

A reminder from your friends at GolfWRX: Father’s Day is June 21. And as we do every year, we’re rounding up the best gifts for dad.

As we say every year, there’s no better golf-related Father’s Day gift than a round of golf with pops. Be it a country club or your favorite muni, take the time to get together to play 18 if you can.

Let’s get to the gifts.

Ghost Golf Qualifier Diamond Polo

We like the new polos that Ghost is offering, as the fabric and fit are so good. These new Qualifier Collection polos breathe well, are lightweight, stretch with your swing, and of course look great. You can wear them on the course, in the office, or just out at a casual event and they will fit right in.

Buy here.

STR8-Strip Grip Tape Remover

If your dad is an equipment aficionado and tinkers with his clubs, this tool works wonders. Removing grip tape has never been easier, just put a little head on the tape and the STR8-Strip peals it right off the shaft without any damage.

Why Golf: Putting Thing

When it comes to practice, it is good to have a purpose. This “Putting Thing” sure does it. We know from personal experience how challenging it can be and how rewarding it is on the practice green. This also provides some competition for your kiddo to see who will unload the dishwasher or do the next chore around the house.

OluKai Lae‘ahi Men’s Breathable Slip-On Shoes

Riding to and from the course in style and comfort is always a good thing. If you’re in a hurry, it’s a nice feature to slide into your shoes and get to the tee time. For the post-game shoe, at your locker or while putting your clubs away in the car. Nice to slide into a shoe that looks good anywhere. Pair that with meeting the family for dinner, no need to change!

Therabody Theragun Relief

A little wellness goes a long way. Keeping loose is a good way to go when it comes to the weekend game or treatment during the week. If there is a little ache or pain, the Theragun is there to help out. Help loosen up the back for a pre-game warm-up or cool-down.
