DID YOU KNOW
➡️ After a brief hiatus, the PGA Tour returns with the start of its FedEx Cup Fall schedule and debut of the Biltmore Championship. But before moving forward, it's interesting to look back at some of the scoring accomplishments to date in 2026:
◼️ There have been three 12-under par rounds this year — Michael Kim (59, 3M Open), Andrew Putnam and Blades Brown (60, The American Express)
◼️ There have been three 8-under par nines — Jake Knapp and Jackson Koivun (28, 3M Open), Blades Brown (28, The American Express)
◼️ The most players tied for the lead after 18, 36, and 54 holes was seven, five, and three, respectively.
◼️ The most consecutive events finishing in the money is 34 by Hideki Matsuyama.
◼️ Unsurprisingly, Scottie Scheffler had the most consecutive rounds of par or better (29) during the season. Pierceson Coody also matched that mark.
◼️ There were six course records set, the lowest being Michael Kim's 59 at the 3M Open and the highest being 63s by Jordan Smith at the Scottish Open and Viktor Hovland at the BMW Championship.
