An eagle in golf is a score of two strokes under par on a hole.
Examples:
- Par-5 hole: scoring a 3 (common way to make an eagle).
- Par-4 hole: scoring a 2 (less common, often by holing a long second shot or a hole‑in‑one).
- Par-3 hole: scoring a 1 (a hole‑in‑one on a par‑3 is an eagle).
Notation: shown as “E” or “−2” on a scorecard. It’s rarer than a birdie (one under) and more common on par‑5s. The term comes from the bird-themed naming progression (birdie → eagle).
