John Daly’s 19 on Par-5 Sets PGA Tour Champions Single-Hole Record After Scorecard Correction

A post-round penalty review raised his 12th-hole score from 17 to 19, making the figure official.

Overview

  • The 59-year-old took 19 strokes on the par-5 12th at Minnehaha Country Club in Sioux Falls on September 12.
  • Shot-by-shot reconstructions report his tee shot found rough and seven subsequent attempts went into a water hazard before he escaped.
  • The 19 exceeded the previous PGA Tour Champions single-hole worst by three strokes and is the highest recorded on the PGA or Champions tours.
  • Daly signed for an 88 in the opening round and withdrew from the Sanford International after finishing last by nine shots.
  • The collapse echoes past extremes in his career, including an 18 at Bay Hill in 1998 and a 90 at the 2014 Valspar Championship.
