The lowest officially recorded round of golf is 55 by Rhein Gibson (12 birdies and two eagles on a par 71) on May 12, 2012, at River Oaks Golf Club in Edmond, Oklahoma. This score is recognized by the Guinness World Records.

And a 62? Branden Grace holds the record for the lowest round in a men's major. The South African wrote himself into the history books during the third round of the British Open at Royal Birkdale in 2017.

The result was 42-43 for an 85, Woods' highest score in a professional event.
Consider this: A "perfect" game of golf is 54 on a par 72. Like with a perfect NCAA Tournament bracket, as far as we know, it's never been done, at any level. On the PGA Tour, the record is Jim Furyk's 58. "No, it's like a scramble score," Ruthkoski said.
Equally daunting is the sight of Jon Rahm, finally getting rewarded with a 63 that he capped off just as Harman was starting. It was the lowest round by two shots ever recorded in an Open at Royal Liverpool, hosting the oldest championship for the 13th time.

Do par-6 holes exist on golf courses around the world? Yes, but they are not common. How long does a hole have to be to be called a par-6? Nearly 700 yards for men, nearly 600 yards for women — but there are other factors besides length that determine what the par rating of a golf hole is.
What Does TPC Stand For? While you might have heard of some of these courses, you may not know what TPC stands for. It's short for Tournament Players Club, a network of courses that began with TPC Sawgrass. Located in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, this TPC golf course opened in 1980.

Corey Pavin holds the PGA Tour record for the lowest 9-hole score, a mark he set by shooting 26 over the front nine in the first round of the 2006 U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee. Pavin led the PGA Tour money list in 1991 with $979,430. He is the last golfer to lead the tour in earnings with less than $1 million.

Rickie Fowler poured in 10 birdies opposite two bogeys in the morning wave at par-70 Los Angeles Country Club to shoot 62, setting a U.S. Open record and joining Branden Grace (2017 British Open) as the only players with 62s in major championship golf.
