The lower the scores, the better chance of having success on the golf course.
That’s why most of the names on the PGA Tour’s lowest scoring average list for the 2021-22 season is not a surprise. It’s loaded with major winners but there are some surprises.
It’s difficult to play well throughout the course of a season. With numerous different types of courses, conditions and the elevated status of many tournaments, it can be difficult for golfers to hit their peak and maintain it for a majority of the year.
The golfer with the lowest scoring average gets awarded the Vardon Trophy.
Here’s a look at the 10 PGA Tour golfers who had the lowest scoring averages in the 2021-22 season:
10
Will Zalatoris, 69.69 average in 85 rounds

Will Zalatoris again had close calls in majors, losing to Justin Thomas in a three-hole aggregate playoff at the PGA Championship at Southern Hills and missing a birdie putt on the 72nd hole to force a playoff at the U.S. Open at The Country Club. But, he finally got his first PGA Tour win at the FedEx St. Jude Championship.

Shane Lowry may come as a surprise on this list, as he didn’t make the Tour Championship and didn’t record a win this year, but he finished in the top 10 in 10 of his 18 events.

Another surprise on the list is Tommy Fleetwood, who didn’t play past the British Open because of personal reasons. He didn’t record a win but made the cut in 14 of his 17 events and recorded five top-10 finishes.
