For golf, it was a name game in 2025. There were one-name phenoms like Rory, Scottie and Jeeno, with much talk of Keegan and a bit on Tiger on the course.
Around the events, there were new names that will have a big impact on everyone else, namely Brian Rolapp and Craig Kessler (who took over from Jay Monahan and Mollie Marcoux Samaan).
And then there are the non-tour events that bring in the silly names, including the Range Goats (a team on LIV Golf) and Boston Common Golf (a team on the simulator-based TGL).
What all these names mean is that TV-produced golf may be in flux, but the excitement around the sport is taking it in directions fans hadn’t imagined a few years ago.
