History

Historical Context

Tiger Woods’ 1997 Masters win at Augusta National, a 12-stroke victory with a 270 (-18) total, proved that modern courses could yield historic low scores. The PGA Tour’s 1986 creation of the TPC network later produced TPC Twin Cities—a 7,200-yard, par-71 layout with water on twelve holes—while the 3M Open, launched in 2019, routinely demands scores of fifteen-under to compete, echoing Woods’ scoring revolution.
