Man, I’ve been digging into Tiger Woods’ lowest scores lately. It’s a wild ride, let me tell you. I started by looking into his best rounds in PGA Tour events. That’s where things got interesting.
So, I found out that the dude has shot a 61, not just once, but multiple times! I mean, a 61? That’s insane. I first came across his 61 at the 1999 Byron Nelson Classic. I dug deeper and saw he did it again at the 2000 WGC-NEC Invitational and again in 2005. Talk about consistency, right?
- 1999 Byron Nelson Classic: First time he hit that magic 61.
- 2000 WGC-NEC Invitational: Did it again, just to prove it wasn’t a fluke.
- 2005 Buick Open: And once more, for good measure.
But then I got curious. Has he ever gone lower? Like, has he ever shot a 59? Turns out, he has! It wasn’t in an official tournament, but still, a 59! He shot that 59 back in 1997 at his local course, Isleworth in Florida. It’s like he was just warming up for those 61s later on.
Then I went down a bit of a rabbit hole, checking out his worst scores too. I mean, even the best have their off days, right? It’s a bit all over the place, but it just shows the ups and downs of the game.
I also stumbled upon some stuff about his driving distance, especially after that car accident. There was one where he bogeyed four of the first six but then closed with six birdies for a 69. The guy’s a rollercoaster of scores! And I read about how he teamed up with his son, Charlie, for a 59 in a scramble format. That’s a pretty cool father-son moment.
My Key Takeaways
So, what did I learn from all this? Well, Tiger’s lowest official round on the PGA Tour is a 61, which he’s achieved three times. But, unofficially, he’s hit a 59 at least once. It’s a testament to his skill, his ups, and downs, and everything in between. It’s a real journey through his career, just by looking at these numbers.
