5 Golf Writers Share Their Bold Predictions for 2025

Alt text: A headline asking 5 golf writers to share their predictions for 2025.

What a year ahead for golf in 2025! The sport’s biggest stars are gearing up for what could be one of the most exciting seasons in recent memory.

Jordan Spieth looks ready to bounce back in a big way after his wrist surgery. The three-time major champ has been playing through pain, but now that he’s healthy, expect to see him back in the winner’s circle and climbing up those world rankings.

Over on the women’s side, Charley Hull is knocking on the door of her first major championship. She’s been absolutely crushing it – one win, three runner-up finishes in 2024, and that incredible Solheim Cup victory over world #1 Nelly Korda. It feels like her time is coming.

The Ryder Cup at Bethpage could be epic. Team Europe hasn’t won on U.S. soil in 13 years, but they’re loaded with talent. With Luke Donald back as captain and stars like McIlroy, Rahm, and Hovland leading the charge, they’ve got a real shot at making history in New York.

Patrick Cantlay is probably the best player out there without a major trophy. He’s due for a breakthrough, and the U.S. Open at Oakmont might be his moment. His buddy Xander Schauffele won two majors in 2024 – that’s got to be extra motivation.

Nelly Korda just keeps getting better and better. She’s dominating women’s golf right now and shows no signs of slowing down. Don’t be shocked if she adds another major to her collection in 2025.

Here’s an interesting one: we might actually see LIV golfers playing in PGA Tour events next year. With all the talks happening between the tours, it’s not as crazy as it sounds anymore.

The season’s shaping up to be pretty amazing. Between potential comebacks, first-time major winners, and maybe even some tour unity, 2025 could be one for the history books.
