Jim Furyk shoots all-time PGA Tour record 58
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.

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.
See the clubs Jim Furyk used to shoot 58, the all-time PGA Tour record.

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

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.

Great round by a great guy. All class and gives us all hope that we can own our unique and beautiful swings. Very hard worker and family man too. Congrats

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.

PGA Tour is turning into WWE.
Planned out storylines and lies just for ratings.
Guess with lack of stars, they gotta do something.

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.
