Okay, so I’ve been digging into PGA Tour records lately, specifically the lowest 72-hole scores. It’s kinda wild how low these guys can go! I wanted to see the absolute best, the “all-time lowest,” and document the whole process i did it.

The Hunt Begins
First, I started by, well, just plain old searching. I typed in something like “lowest 72 hole score PGA Tour” into a search engine. I figured that was the most straightforward way to get the basic info.
Finding the Champion
The search results popped up pretty quick. It became clear that Justin Thomas holds the record. He shot a ridiculous 253 at the 2017 Sony Open. That’s just insane!
Breaking Down the Score

My Reaction (Still Amazed)
I mean, 27 under par? I struggle to break 90 on a good day! These numbers are mind-blowing. It makes me appreciate the sheer skill and consistency of these top-level golfers. I saved all the details and the breakdown of his scores. I will print them to help me motivate when i practice golfing.
So, that’s my little research adventure into PGA Tour scoring records. It’s a fun reminder of just how incredible these athletes are, and i have all details that i need.
