59 watch! Here are all the golfers to break 60 on tour

It’s golf’s magic number. The one they all want to put on their cards. The lowest rounds of golf that will put them in the sport’s history books forever.

But who are the players to shoot 59 on the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, LPGA Tour, and others?

PGA Tour

To date, 11 players have carded a 59 on the PGA Tour. They are:

• Al Geiberger (1977 Memphis Classic)
• Chip Beck (1991 Las Vegas Invitational)
• David Duval (1999 Bob Hope Chrysler Classic)
• Paul Goydos (2010 John Deere Classic)
• Stuart Appleby (2010 Greenbrier Classic)
• Jim Furyk (2013 BMW Championship)
• Justin Thomas (2017 Sony Open in Hawaii)
• Adam Hadwin (2017 CareerBuilder Challenge)
• Brandt Snedeker (2018 Wyndham Championship)
• Kevin Chappell (2019 Greenbrier)
• Scottie Scheffler (2020 Northern Trust)

What was even more special about the rounds from Duval and Appleby? Their 59s were carded in the final round to win the tournament. Oof.

But if you think that’s as good as it gets, set your face to surprised. One player has had a 58! Not only that, it’s one of the 11 who has had a 59!

• Jim Furyk (2016 Travelers Championship)

Furyk’s history-making round consisted of seven pars, 10 birdies, and an eagle at TPC River Highlands.

DP World Tour

But what about the other side of the Atlantic?

September 21, 2018 remains the only day a player has shot 59 on what was then the European Tour.

• Oliver Fisher (2018 Portugal Masters)
