Some tournament victories are described as being wire-to-wire. For example Xander Schauffele’s 2024 PGA Championship win was so described. A wire-to-wire victory is one where the ultimate victor was at the head of the leaderboard at the end of each of the rounds of the tournament.
He or she does not have to have been in the solo lead after every round, but has to have been in at least the joint lead. Nor does a wire-to-wire winner have to have been top of the leaderboard at all times during the tournament, only at the end of each round.
