Tiger Woods says his lowest round was a 59 playing in a friendly match (Tiger fans know it's friendly in name only when Tiger tees it up) against close friend Mark O'Meara, and he's never recorded a 60. Hypothetically, FOX Bet would have no issue offering ‘Any Golfer to Shoot 54 or Lower in a Single Round’ at +100000 for the U.S. Open, for comparison, had 156 golfers last weekend. 'Their tournaments also feature a mere 48 players, limiting their chances even further. 'The PGA record stands at 58, so it would take an absurd effort to break that mark by four strokes unless the LIV Tour intends to set up their courses in a gimmicky fashion with the aim of producing artificially low scores. 'The LIV $54 million payout for a round of 54 can be chalked up as clickbait marketing,' FOX Bet sports trader Dylan Brossman stated. The money is unlikely to be attained, as 59 is considered the gold standard of professional golf.įor reference, FOX Sports Research reveals there have been only 12 rounds of 59 or better in PGA Tour history, with one 58 ( Jim Furyk at the 2016 Travelers Championship). Broken down into simple terms, to shoot a 54 on a par-72 course, the player has to average a birdie for every hole. The league is dangling a $54 million bonus for any player who shoots a round of 54 or better during a LIV event.
