Remember when Scottie Scheffler impaled his hand with a glass of wine? Remember when Rory Mcilroy was the best player in the world, like two weeks? Remember when the season changed for Collin Morikawa?
It can feel like centuries ago that all things have happened, but it wasn’t. Only a few months have passed. Although they were big months in the major Golf world scheme. With the closure of the 2025 PGA Tour season, it’s time to list some of our favorite statistics that really explain the year, starting with Scheffler.
1. Scottie’s score
It is not easy to analyze during the last three years of Scottie Scheffler. Everyone has been so cursed! But something about this season will always stay with me: in every way to cut it, it is 1st.
Funny about Scottie Scheffler season: any way to cut it, he is there.
Birdie’s average: 1
Avoiding Bogey: 1
Jump-back: 1Front 9 Assessment: 1
Back 9 Evaluation: 1Am the time of tee: 1
Prime Minister Tee Time: 1PAR-5 Evaluation: 1
PAR-4 Evaluation: 1
PAR-3 Assessment: 3!– SEAN ZAK (@sean_zak) 25 August 2025
It doesn’t matter if he is going early, leaving late, grinding on nine front or back. He just got up on every other player in any imaginable marking category. But if you need a line to explain its dominance, think about how the note is distributed on a result card. Scheffler makes done Make bogey or worse, he jumped back with a bird at the best rate in the tournament. Hard hard to imagine someone who beat him over 72 holes.
2. Many, many birds of Harry Hall
That said, Harry Hall made more birds. We’re talking full Birdies, anyway. Hall led the tournament with 429 circles in its 2025 PGA Tour’s results, a stunning 52 more than second -placed Sam Burns. Of course, this number was helped by Hall playing more events than many of the best players in the world, but good Golf starts more in August, when you can continue to qualify for the next event at FedEx Cup Play off.
Creating Hall Birds is really just an interesting way to get into it Following Ryder Cup. It seems impossible for him to destroy the European team of Luke Donald, but he has played as one of the 15 best players in the world in recent months. Leaving this on the table would be quite a decision.
3. The twins continue to be twin
The RC E Hall campaign was underestimated in a main way on Sunday when Rasmus Hojgaard played well enough to automatically qualify for Team Europe. It seems increasingly likely that the European team will be extremely similar to what we saw in 2023, with Nicolai Hoygaard to submit to his brother. All of this would feel ironic and strange if they were not essentially the same player.
They both play a game of speedwhich is the modern way of producing success at PGA Tour. But their twinning was more or less genuine for me. Nicolai was on average 319 yards away this year. Rasmus on average 318. And how did they arrive at that distance? From both average 187 MPH of the ball speed.
One of these is Rasmus Hoygaard.
The other is Nicolai Hojgaard.

4. Russell Henley Conservative
Hojgaards are kings to go for green, which means they like to try to run the green on the PAR-4S and most often go for the Par-5 with their second shots. But this does not necessarily lead to success.
Russ Henley is one of the top five players on the planet and is going to be completely different. Henley only went to 40% of the green of the time in those possible moments of paving in 2025, and still gained some better strokes than everyone, but the three players this year. This goes against everything we have to trust for modern modern golf players. But this tells you how good and stable Henley was, especially after he removed Morikawa in March at Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Even crazy may be the fact that only three players went for green less than Henley, and one of them won twice. Brianti Brian Campbell, who ended the last in the tournament in this status of aggressiveness, yet somehow scored two wins.
5. The epic setting of Rory
Hidden behind his victories and the splendor of the long-and-course and certainly lost in The chaos of victory of his masters – Rory Mcilroy was one of the best placers in the world this season. He has long been one of the best leaders in the world – and it can honestly be the biggest driver the game has ever seen. But Mcilroy’s flat stick has been up and down his entire career.
In 2017, it collided much below the PGA Tour’s average. During his 2019 season, he was great, and part of the reason he won the player of the year. But this season, he was the 8th of the best in the strokes won: setting, and ranked even higher up to an intricate week in Atlanta.
Does this matter? If it’s a trend, then yes, of course. Mcilroy had the best season of his life, which is a great prejudice if you like to play five games in Bethpage.
6. Hossler the Scrambler
Beau Hossler did not have a good PGA Tour season, but he compiled one of those statistics that amateurs like me just have a really difficult time. From within 10 yards but FAR Green, the Hossler was 73 for 74 in the rise down for par.
Almost 100% in more than 70 shots efforts that, honestly, may be some of the most complex golf course. Shortly one -sided, in a deep bunker, on the curtains against rough cutting. Hossler’s short game is his call card, and he undoubtedly led the tournament to that status. I tremble to think about what would be my percentage from those points.
7. McCarthy Hooper
One of my favorite PGA Tour discussions this year was a column for US Open with Denny McCarthy, who witnessed Sam Burns put on a funny show through the first two rounds in Oakmont.
McCarthy was the best person to chat because, well, he is the only person who can actually be a better place than Burns, who led the tournament to wins: setting it up this season. To hear what one of the best places likes for the skills of one of the other best places, Check here.
Otherwise, embrace this entertainment statistic. McCarthy led the tournament in the shock to the tournament made more than 10 meters. The eight -legged sign is your coin distance, so from outside a 50/50 chance, McCarthy on average 7.5 shocks made for tournaments. It can be from 15 meters, 25 meters, even 60 meters. If it were to get where it is not expected, it counts. And McCarthy, surprisingly, tends to rank a lot in this category every year.
Our conversation that day was thrown into basketball and NBA finals, which were happening at the time. Setting is a lot like free casting. Repeated movement. As few variables as possible. Only you and the buckets. Surily, McCarthy boasts one of the most essential sound shooting at PGA Tour.
