Wire-to-wire is a term used in competitive events and sports for a champion who maintained the lead during an entire competition. The term is most commonly associated with golf referencing a player who wins a title while holding the lowest aggregate score at the close of each round.[1][2][3] It is also a commonly used term in horse racing, to denote a horse that leads a race from start to finish.
