7 Unveiling statistics from the PGA Tour season 2025

Do you remember that Scottie Scheffler took his hand with a wine glass? Do you remember when Rory Mcilroy was the best player in the world for two weeks? Do you remember that the season changed for Collin Morikawa?

It can feel a long time ago that all those things happened, but it wasn’t. It’s only a few months ago. Although they were large months in the large schedule of the golf world. With the end of the PGA Tour season 2025 it is time to list some of our favorite statistics that really explain the year, starting with Scheffler.

1. Scotting scotting

It is not easy to pars the last three years of Scottie Scheffler. They have all been so damn good! But something about this season will always stay with me: no matter how you cut it, he is 1st.

It does not matter if he leaves early, leaves late, nine or the back will grind. He easily rose above every other player in every conceivable score category. But if you need one rule to explain his dominance, consider how scoring on a score card is handed out. Scheffler made the most birdies per round, avoided bogeys the most, and when he held Make bogey or worse, he bounced back with a Birdie at the best rate on tour. It is difficult to imagine that someone who hits more than 72 holes.

2. Harry Hall’s many, many birdies

That said, Harry Hall made more birdies. We talk total Birdies, though. Hall led the Tour with 429 circles on its 2025 PGA Tour Scorecards, a beautiful 52 more than second place Sam Burns. Of course this number was helped by Hall who played more events than many of the best players in the world, but good wave is more conceived in August, if you can continue to qualify for the next event in the Fedex Cup play -offs.

Hall’s Birdie count is really just an interesting way to go to the Ryder Cup in his endeavor. It looks unlikely that he will crack the European team of Luke Donald, but he has been playing as one of the 15 best golfers in the world in recent months. Leaving on the table would be the decision.

3. The twins remain twinning

The RC campaign of Hall was undermined in an important 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 comparable to what we saw in 2023, with Nicolai Hojgaard immersed for his brother. This would all feel ironic and weird if they were not actually the same player.

They both play a game speedWhat the modern way is to produce the success of PGA Tour. But their twinning was a bit too literally for me. This year Nicolai was on average 319 meters from the Tee. Rasmus was on average 318. And how did they come to that distance? Due to both on average 187 mph bogeling speed.

4. Russell Henley de conservative

The Hojgards are kings to go in front of the green, that is, they would like to try to ride the green on par-4s and usually go for par-5s with their second shots. But that does not necessarily lead to success.

Russ Henley is one of the five best golfers on the planet and goes around completely differently. Henley only went 40% of the time for the Green in those potential layup moments in 2025, and this year still got better in one way or another than all except three golfers. That goes against everything we should believe about the modern Pro golfer. But it shows you how good and consistent Henley has been, especially after he had removed Morikawa in the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March.

Even more crazy is perhaps the fact that only three golfers went for the green fewer than Henley, and one of them won twice. It is Brian Campbell, who last ended in the Tour in this status of aggressiveness, but somehow still achieved two victories.

5. Rory’s epic well

Hidden behind his victories and sparkle on long game and certainly lost in the chaos of his Masters victory-Was Rory Mcilroy this season one of the best putters in the world. He has long been one of the best drivers in the world – and to be honest, he is perhaps the biggest driver the game has ever seen. But McIlroy’s flat stick has been up and down all his career.

In 2017 it cratered far below the average of the PGA Tour. During his 2019 season it was great and part of the reason why he won player of the year. But this season he was 8th best in Saven: places and even higher ranked until a difficult week in Atlanta.

Does this matter? If it is a trend, then yes, of course. McIlroy had the best season of his life, which is a great recent bias if you want him to play five games at Bethpage.

6. Hossler the scrambler

Beau Hossler did not have a good PGA tour season, but he has compiled one of those statistics that amateurs like me just have difficult to grasp. From within 10 meters, but out De Green, Hossler was 73 for 74 to come up and down for par.

Almost 100% in more than 70 attempts on shots that can frankly be one of the most difficult on the golf course. Short -sided, in a deep bunker, on the curtain against the cut of rough. The short game of Hossler is his calling card and he clearly led the Tour in that status. I shudder to think what my percentage of those places would be.

7. McCarthy de Hooper

One of my favorite discussions about the PGA Tour this year was a convo about placing the US Open with Denny McCarthy, who witnessed Sam Burns a ridiculous display on the first two rounds in Oakmont.

McCarthy was the best person to talk to, because he, well, he is the only person who might be a better putter than Burns, who led the tour in a stroke obtained: this season. To hear what one of the best putters likes the skills of one of the other best putters, view it here.

Otherwise, embrace this nice stat. McCarthy led the tour in putts per tournament that was longer than 10 feet. The eight-foot Mark is your coin flip distance, so from outside a 50/50 chance, McCarthy has made an average of 7.5 puts per tournament. It can be from 15 feet, 25 feet, even 60 feet. When it came in from where it is not expected, it counts. And McCarthy, without a surprise, tends to score high in this category every year.

Our conversation delivered that day to basketball and the NBA final, which took place at that time. Putting looks a lot like shooting in free throws. Repetitive movement. As few variables as possible. Only you and the bucket. It is not surprising that McCarthy has one of the most fundamentally healthy jumping shots on the PGA Tour.
