PGA TOUR Blemish-Free History & Statistical Context
A "blemish-free" 54 holes requires executing ~200 tournament shots without a three-putt, penalty, or failed up-and-down.
| Streak / Event | Player | Clean Stretch | Tournament Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Biltmore Championship (Asheville) | Neal Shipley | 54 Holes (R1-R3) | Outright Leader heading into Sunday (-19) |
| 1974 Greater New Orleans Open | Lee Trevino | 72 Holes (Full Tourney) | Won by 8 strokes (-21, only 72H clean card in modern era) |
| 2000 Canadian Open to Nat. Car Rental | Tiger Woods | 110 Holes (Span 4 events) | All-time PGA TOUR record for consecutive bogey-free holes |
| 2019 Wyndham Championship | J.T. Poston | 72 Holes (Sedgefield CC) | First player since Trevino in 1974 to win 72H without a bogey |
Understanding Clean Card Streaks
In competitive championship golf, a "blemish" refers to any hole completed over par (bogey, double bogey, or worse). Going 54 holes without a single blemish is one of the rarest feats in sports analytics.
Even tour leaders average 1.8 to 2.4 bogeys per round due to hazard proximity, gusting winds, and tucked Sunday pins. Maintaining a zero-bogey tally requires an up-and-down scramble save percentage well exceeding 85%.
Frequently Asked Questions
What was Neal Shipley's achievement in Asheville?
At the Biltmore Championship in Asheville, Neal Shipley completed all 54 holes across the first three rounds without carding a single bogey, compiling 19 birdies to sit at -19 and hold the outright lead heading into Sunday.

Yes, but only twice in modern PGA TOUR history: Lee Trevino in 1974 at Lakewood Golf Club (New Orleans), and J.T. Poston in 2019 at the Wyndham Championship.
How does the Sunday Simulation work?
The simulator uses Tour baseline GIR (greens in regulation) odds combined with your custom scramble survival slider and selected course weather difficulty to model whether the player's clean card survives the final 18 holes.
