Top 10 stats of 2022


This is a great article from the PGA Tour website. I always love seeing fun stats like these when a season ends, but these are some interesting ones. Here's a breakdown of the top 10 stats, but check out the article for more in depth info:

  1. Russell Henley posted the lower 72-hole total in PGA Tour history by a player not to win - CRAZY!

  2. Sebastián Muñoz became the first player in TOUR history with two rounds of 60 or lower in the same season - Impressive!

  3. Cameron Young had seven top-three finishes in the 2021-2022 season, but no wins - a first on the PGA Tour since 1993 - What a year for him, finishing as Rookie of the Year

  4. Will Zalatoris had six top-eight finishes in his first nine career majors - something no player has done since 1957 - What a year for Will and glad to see him pull out a tournament win before the season ended.

  5. Tom Kim became the youngest player to win twice on the PGA Tour in 90 years - Which means Tom Kim has done something Tiger Woods never did.

  6. Justin Thomas staged the largest final-round comeback to win a major since 1999 - even a shank on Sunday couldn't stop JT!

  7. Matt Fitzpatrick join Jack Nicklaus as the only players to win the US Amateur and the US Open on the same course - great company to be in!

  8. Scottie Scheffler went from winless on the PGA Tour to No. 1 in the world in 42 days - It took Tiger 252 to accomplish this…think about that.

  9. For 40 years, nobody had opened a tournament with triple bogey or worse and won on the PGA Tour. Then it happened twice in the same month - Tom Kim and Rory McIlroy - what a year for them both!

  10. For the first time since the inception of the Masters in 1934, all four majors were won by players younger than 30 - the game of golf is in great hands!
