A thrilling finish at the 2025 Seminole Pro-Member saw Ryan Fox and Jimmy Dunne III just miss out on a remarkable double victory on Monday.
The pair lost the ‘gross’ competition in dramatic fashion, falling to Billy Horschel and Bill Davis in a scorecard playoff after both teams shot impressive 64s.
But Fox and Dunne didn’t leave empty-handed. They grabbed the top spot in the ‘net’ competition with an adjusted score of 61, beating out Corey Conners and Peter Broome by a single stroke.
It was a star-studded field at the prestigious event. Five teams tied for third place in the gross competition with scores of 66, including defending champs Justin Thomas and Mike Walrath, and rising star Collin Morikawa playing alongside David Novak.
Rory McIlroy kept it in the family, teaming up with his dad Gerry to card a solid 68, good enough for a tie for 13th place.
Tiger Woods made his return to competitive golf, partnering with former PGA of America CEO Seth Waugh. While they didn’t crack the top 39 in the gross competition, they managed a respectable tie for 26th in the net results with an adjusted 67.
NFL legend Tom Brady was also in the mix, pairing with Matt Cahill to match Woods and Waugh’s adjusted score.
The big question now is when we’ll see Tiger back in official competition. He’s not currently listed for next week’s Players Championship – where he’s in the final year of his exemption. But seeing him walking comfortably around Seminole with his regular caddie Lance Bennett has sparked speculation about a possible late entry.
If Tiger doesn’t tee it up at TPC Sawgrass, golf fans might have to wait until The Masters in April to see him compete again. It would be his first official tournament since The Open Championship last July.
Meanwhile, Rory McIlroy isn’t taking any breaks. He’s heading straight to the Arnold Palmer Invitational this week, followed by The Players Championship – both prestigious events on the PGA Tour’s calendar.
The Seminole Pro-Member might be a relatively laid-back event, but it’s become a fascinating early-season gathering of golf’s biggest names, showing that even in these friendly competitions, the competitive spirit runs deep.
