After jumping into the eye Some PGA Tour stars having disappointing campaigns of 2025Now we’re going to the weekend of working day with a sunny trend.
These are the players that came alive This year. They either had better seasons in their careers or revitalized their game after previous fighting.
A topic? So many of these people are later in their careers.
Sometimes it takes time to unite everything.
While it was another quiet year for many of the stars set up golf, the players on this list were moved toward Their stars.
8. Harry Hall
Harry saint!
Through the extremely durable game – he has made 17 consecutive cuts – Harry Hall is quietly glued to no. 10 in Golf Data.
Hall did not have a single end of the five season, but it collected 15 (!) Top-25 results. He made the tour championship and is a good bet to collect a beautiful check every week he plays.
Is he Ryder Cup ready? We will discover Monday when Luke Donald makes his choices.
7. Chris Gotterup
26-year-old Gotterup has been on Stardom’s fast track.
A good year turned into a great one when he won Scottish Open and then finished solo third in the open championship a week later. Arriving the Tour championship and winning a T10 just strengthened its broken year.
Gotterup still has a lot to prove sustainable. He can crush the ball from Tee (sixth in strokes gained by driving and eighth at a driving distance) but continues around the average tournament for everything else.
6. Robert Macintyre
While he could not be well -separated for a victory, Macintyre continued to put himself in the thickness of great events.
There was a second solo at US Open, a competitor in the BMW Championship and a T7 in the Open Championship. These are three major events.
Macintyre went from a medium pro -package tour in one of the most intriguing players in Golf. He is now no. 13 in Golf Date and No.9 in OWGR.
He started 25 events this year (a lot for a player of his caliber) and only lost a cut.
Macintyre has done it all by being greater than the sum of its parts. It is good at all the categories of categories obtained, which makes it a strong course to fit almost everywhere.
5. Harris English
You have to feel good about English. He was a strong player for most of the 2020-2021 but the injuries sent him falling into the ranking.
In 2025, everything returned to him.
English won at Torrey Pines at the beginning of the year and then had two major racing ends at the PGA Championship and The Open. Unfortunately for her, Scottie Scheffler was on the field.
English was productive year -round and qualified in the Ryder Cup in the US at the point. His strength has been in the greens – he ranks No. 18 in strokes.
4. Russell Henley
The 36-year-old Henley turned into one of the most reliable players of the game in 2025. He won at Bay Hill and raised nine other Top-10 ends, climbing to no. 5 in Golf Data.
Henley makes it the difficult path according to modern golf standards. He is no. 159 In the car’s distance tour, so he must compensate for his lack of power in other ways.
How exactly? Henley is the 13th in the wins, the sixth about the greens and the 32nd in the greens.
Like English, he qualified for the US Ryder Cup team at the point.
3. Tommy Fleetwood
We know everything about Fleetwood. His game is the pure class.
Saying this, you still need to consider 2025 a breakout season for the 34-year-old Englishman.
For beginners, he finally won a tournament event. Will the tour championship suffice? I think so.
But Fleetwood was also extraordinary throughout the season. He had six extra five-five ends and only lost a cut, making his floor one of the highest from each top player.
Shocking, Fleetwood is no.2 in Golf Data. Only scottie scheffler is better.
Statistically, there are no holes in his game. Fleetwood is fourth in strokes obtained from tee-to-green and No. 15 in setting.
This combination is making its agent very rich.
2. Ben Griffin
The true definition of a Breakout star, came griffin absolutely nowhere To make the US Ryder Cup team.
With a stunning 10 Top-15 ends between PGA Championship and Championship Tour, Griffin bought real estate on the front page of managers Throughout the summer (Shoutout Kid Rock).
Griffin did not even play in masters, a problem he should not worry about next year.
Why was it so good? Griffin is above average in all the main shocks of the categories obtained, with his worse Ranking being 56th. He is a good ball striker and Borderline Great Putter.
Without any weakness in his game, Griffin has gone from work to the table in the success of the tournament overnight.
1. JJ SPAUN
Spaun won his first big title in the US Open and almost won the player championship and FedEx St. Jude Championship.
He did not have the consistency of other players on this list, but his ceiling was much higher in great moments.
In June 2024, the spaun was out Top 160 in the world. Now he is in the first 20 places.
Interestingly, Spaun has a unique status profile. He is not particularly tall by tee and he is not a great place. His iron game (No. 7 in Strokes the approach won) is what closes the gap in those deficiencies.
Do you agree that Spaun is the 2025th Breakout star?
