The Only PGA Tour Golfers With Multiple Rounds of 60 and Lower
In the long history of the PGA Tour, only six golfers (so far) have carded multiple rounds of 60 or lower.
The first 60 in tour history (it was by Al Brosch) happened in 1951. The first 59 (by Al Geiberger) was in 1977. And the first 58 (by one of the golfers listed below) was in 2016.
These are the golfers with multiple rounds of 60 and below on the PGA Tour:
Jim Furyk: 58 and 59
Furyk joined the 59 club in 2013 in the second round of the BMW Championship. He carded one eagle, 11 birdies and one bogey. He sank a 3-foot, 3-inch putt on his final hole to secure the 59.Then, at the 2016 Travelers Championships, in the final round, Furyk shot the first 58 in PGA Tour history. His nines were 27 and 31; he had one eagle and 10 birdies, including seven consecutive birdies at one point.
Both scores were 12-under-par. Furyk didn't win either tournament (third in 2013 and fifth in 2016), but he does hold two distinctions: first 58 on tour, and first golfer with two sub-60 tour rounds.
Phil Mickelson: Three 60s
While Mickelson hasn't (yet) recorded a sub-60 round, he is the first golfer in PGA Tour history with three rounds of 60. Mickelson's 60s:- Second round, 2005 FBR Open, 11-under, won by five strokes;
- First round, 2013 Waste Management Phoenix Open, 11-under, won by four strokes;
- First round, 2019 Desert Classic, 12-under, tied for second place.
Zach Johnson: Two 60s
Before Mickelson became the first PGA Tour golfer to record three rounds of 60, Johnson was already the first golfer to do it twice. Johnson's two 60s:- Third round, 2007 Tour Championship, 10-under, tied for second place;
- Third round, 2009 Valero Texas Open, 10-under, won in playoff.
Sebastian Munoz, Two 60s
Munoz joined this exclusive club in 2022, and both his rounds of 60 happened in the same season on the PGA Tour's wraparound schedule. That made him the first golfer to score 60s in the same PGA Tour season, in his case the 2021-22 season.- First round, 2021-22 RSM Classic, 10-under, tied for third place;
- First round, 2021-22 AT&T Byron Nelson, 12-under, tied for third place.
Justin Rose, Two 60s
Rose was the second golfer during the 2022 PGA Tour season to add his name to this list, although his first round of 60 happened 16 years earlier.- First round, 2006 Funai Classic at Walt Disney World Resort, 12-under, fourth place;
- Fourth round, 2022 Canadian Open, 10-under, tied for fourth place.
Patrick Cantlay, Two 60s
Cantlay's first 60 came while he was still an amateur (he was the first amateur ever to shoot 60 on the PGA Tour), and his second happened 11 years later.- Second round, 2011 Travelers Championship, 10-under, tied 24th
- Third round, 2022 Shriner's Childrens Open, 11-under
