Where can I find (preferably downloadable)archival golf scores from
professional golf tournaments?  I'm interested in the player name,
date, location, and score going back to the biginning of time.  Also
nice would be the par rating for the course.

What years and tours are you looking for?

All years, all tours.  I would be happy with only the PGA and LPGA for
now, but I really want the coverage to go back as far as records are
kept.  Thanks, Goldgoose.

Hi thanks for visiting us. Would scores of men professional golf only
constitute as a sufficient answer?

Yes, men only would work.

I am not very knowledgeable in Golf but I feel I have what you are
looking for. I will give you a sample of the data I found and you
could tell me if this is what you want and then I will give you the
links to the whole answer.

This is a sample data for the US Open (Golf)

Year Posn Player              Country             Year Venue    
1895  1 RAWLINS, Harold  Scot UK     173 91 82  1895 Newport GC    
1895  2 DUNN, Willie     Scot UK                1895 Newport GC    
        
1896  1 FOULIS, James         US 152            1896 Shinnecock Hills
GC

As you can see the data is not complete with some scores probably
wasn't recorded. All data are only up to 2001. Please tell me if this
will do.

Just let me know. Thanks again.

An Austrailian web page would not be my first choice for PGA scores. 
Also the reach back into the past was not as far as I would have
liked.  Still, there is some useful information here to assist my
project.
