Jason Day had the longest streak of shooting par-or-better rounds (22). Day's run started at the British Open and ended with a third-round 73 at the Deutsche Bank Championship. The Aussie was a staggering 79 under total during that stretch.
It might surprise you that Johnson Wagner, not Jason Day, had the season's longest streak of consecutive rounds in the 60s (14). Perhaps even more surprising is the fact that streak only led to these four finishes: T-32, T-5, T-10, and T-18.
Josh Teater hit the most consecutive fairways (34).
Mark Hensby hit the most consecutive greens in regulation (31).
Freddie Jacobson went more than three months without three-putting. His 542 straight holes without three-putting set a new PGA Tour record.
Not one player with at least 20 starts made every cut in the 2014-15 season. Henrik Stenson came the closest with zero missed cuts in 16 tournaments.
Seven players managed to go the entire season without missing a putt from three feet and in. Daniel Summerhays had the most attempts (941) of anyone with a perfect record.
Ryan Palmer had the longest birdie/eagle streak (8 holes) during the second round of the Humana Challenge, to tie the PGA Tour record. Palmer mixed in two eagles to go eight under in the 10-hole stretch during his 61, which also matched the low round on tour for the season.
Bubba Watson had the highest percentage (42.86) of drives measured longer than 320 yards.
Brooks Koepka made the highest percentage (79.6) of putts between four and eight feet.
Chad Campbell made the season's longest putt (95 feet, three inches) on the 17th hole at Riviera CC during the second round of the Northern Trust Open.
Brandt Jobe had the longest consecutive one-putt streak (16).
Brendon Todd had the most consecutive sand saves (15).
Chambers Bay, which hosted the U.S. Open for the first time, wound up having six of the 18 most difficult holes of the season.
Jordan Spieth made $881,219 per start for the season. That record total broke down to $13,908 per hole and $3,623 per shot.
