The PGA Tour’s 2024 regular season spanned eight months, 39 tournaments and 738 golf holes.
Now the official stats are in, and the list of the easiest holes on Tour is topped by one of the most scenic, a par 5 that played almost a full stroke under par. In fact, the 27 easiest holes — and 48 of the top 49 — were par 5s, with No. 28, the seventh hole at Vidanta Vallarta for the Mexico Open at Vidanta, checking in as the easiest par 4. The easiest par 3, you ask? That would be the 168-yard seventh hole at La Quinta Country Club. It ranks as the 133rd easiest hole in 2024.
Back to the top 10. The list includes courses in Hawaii and the southern California desert as well as San Diego and Los Angeles. You can see the PGA Tour’s complete list of hole rankings here.
