What is the largest margin of victory on the European Tour (currently known as the DP World Tour)? The overall record is 15 strokes by a very famous golfer in a very famous tournament — a major championship. The biggest winning margin in any non -major, official tournament on the European Tour is 14 strokes.

Who is the youngest golfer ever to win on the European Tour? And how old was he? The answer to the second question is 17 years old. Twice in European Tour history, a golfer younger than 18 has won. And both times, it was the same golfer.

The European Tour (also known, for its title sponsor, as the DP World Tour) has existed since 1972. Since that inaugural year, there are only two golfers in the tour's history who are credited with winning an official tournament past the age of 50. Those two golfers are Phil Mickelson and Miguel Angel Jimenez.

Which golfer holds the all-time record for most wins in a single season on the European Tour? That record-holder is Seve Ballesteros , which is not surprising given that Ballesteros won more European Tour tournaments overall than anyone else.

What is the European Tour's record for consecutive birdies in the same round of golf in a tour event? The unofficial record is nine birdies in a row; the official record is eight birdies in a row.

Which golfer has the most wins in European Tour history? Seve Ballesteros tops the list. And the list of the tour's top winners includes many other great names, too, including Tiger Woods, who is in third place.

Which golfers have gone the lowest on the European Tour? Below we see the European Tour records for lowest 72-hole stroke total and for most strokes under par over 72 holes. The record-low stroke total is 254, and the Euro Tour's 72-hole record for strokes under par is 30-under. A couple golfers overlap between the two lists.

What is the lowest 18-hole score ever posted on the European Tour? It's not 58, like on the PGA Tour . And for decades after the tour's 1972 founding, it wasn't 59 like on the LPGA Tour . In European Tour history, no golfer broke 60 for the tour's first 46 years of existence. But finally, in 2018, the tour had its first 59. And that remains the European Tour scoring record.
