History

Historical Context

Jim Furyk’s 58 on August 7 2016 at the Travelers Championship became the PGA Tour’s first 58 and broke the previous 59-stroke barrier set by six players. Two decades later, Si Woo Kim carded a 60 on May 22 2026 at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, matching Dustin Johnson’s 134-stroke 36-hole total from 2015. These milestones show sub-60 rounds are increasingly shaping Tour scoring policies.
