Tiger Woods' Worst Scores on the PGA Tour as a Pro
What's the worst score Tiger Woods has ever had on the PGA Tour since turning pro? That depends on what category of score you're talking about — 18 holes, 72 holes or 72 holes in relation to par. But that's OK, because we cover all three categories below.
Most of the scores that qualify as "worst scores" for Woods have happened since his injury problems really began to affect his career around 2010. But a few of the scores below do pre-date that. Another thing to notice about the following lists of Tiger's worst scores is that many of them happened on very tough golf courses in very tough tournaments — not all of his worst scores resulted in poor finishes (for one of them, he even finished in the Top 10!).
Also note that we are only looking at Woods' worst scores on the PGA Tour, and since turning pro in mid-1996. (If you want to see how Woods scored in PGA Tour events before turning pro, see Tiger Woods' PGA Tour finishes as an amateur.)
