Meanwhile, at the U.S. Open, J.J. Spaun made headlines with a dramatic triumph.

This win further solidified his status as a promising captain’s pick.
The 2025 season also celebrated Cameron Young’s long-awaited first PGA Tour victory at the Wyndham Championship, where he secured a six-shot win over Mac Meissner, opening doors for his success at the Ryder Cup. Similarly, Tommy Fleetwood finally celebrated his maiden PGA Tour title with a decisive victory at the Tour Championship, placing him in the spotlight with a handsome $10 million prize.
Lottie Woad made headlines with a stunning debut, claiming the Women’s Scottish Open title just days after turning pro, matching a historical feat achieved by Rose Zhang. On the LPGA Tour, Jeeno Thitikul demonstrated incredible resilience, bouncing back from a devastating four-putt loss at the Kroger Queen City Classic to win the LPGA Shanghai, later concluding her stellar season with a victory at the CME Group Tour Championship, marking her as the league’s only three-time winner of the year.
