59 Watch: Rounds of 59 or better in professional golf

In the history of professional golf, 42 players have shot rounds of 59 or better in a tournament on a major tour.

The lowest score in the history of profesional golf is 57, as Cristobal del Solar shot that number in the Korn Ferry Tour's Astara Golf Championship in February 2024.

Rounds of 58 have been shot on the Canadian Tour (Jason Bohn), Japan Golf Tour (Ryo Ishikawa), the Korn Ferry Tour (Stephan Jaeger, Frankie Capan III), PGA Tour (Jim Furyk), Korean PGA (Kim Seong-hyeon), Challenge Tour (Alejandro del Rey) and LIV Golf (Bryson DeChambeau).

The only major tour without a single sub-60 round is the Legends Tour, formerly known as the European Seniors Tour.
