Jim Furyk’s place in the game’s lore was sealed in the summer of 2016, when he authored one of the most remarkable rounds the PGA Tour has ever seen — a 12‑under 58 at the Travelers Championship. In a sport that had long treated 59 as an almost mythical barrier, Furyk didn’t just break it; he blew past it, becoming the first to venture into even rarer territory and earning a fitting distinction as golf’s “Mr. 58.”
The performance carried added weight given what had come before. Only six players had ever posted a 59 on Tour at that point — a club Furyk had already joined with a second‑round 59 at the 2013 BMW Championship. With that earlier feat and his record‑setting 58, Furyk became the first player in PGA Tour history to record multiple sub‑60 rounds, a dual achievement that stands as one of the sport’s most enduring benchmarks of scoring brilliance.
Jim Furyk celebrates after shooting a record-setting 58 during the final round of the Travelers Championship at TCP River Highlands on August 7, 2016.
There are a total of 14 rounds of 59 in the history of the PGA Tour, with the first coming when Al Geiberger turned the trick in 1977 at the Memphis Classic.

The most recent player to do so was Jake Knapp at the 2025 Cognizant Classic.
