Golf Review: 2025 Season & What’s Ahead in 2026 

Golf Thursday December 4, 2025 By: Joe Horne

The 2025 golf season delivered drama, breakthrough performances and the continual reshaping of the game’s competitive landscape. From Augusta in April to Royal Portrush in July, the Majors once again produced defining moments that will shape the storylines heading into 2026. 

As we look back on the biggest tournaments of the year, and ahead to what fans can expect next season, we also reflect on another standout year of ICON Golf Days at Engage Hospitality, and how attendees can secure premium experiences at the 2026 Masters. 

The Masters

The first major of the year delivered one of the most memorable victories in recent history. Rory McIlroy claimed the 2025 Masters Tournament after a sudden-death playoff against Justin Rose. With that win, McIlroy completed the career Grand Slam, becoming the first European man to hold all four major titles. The win at Augusta underscored McIlroy’s enduring class and mental fortitude, qualities that reinforced his legacy among the game’s greats. The Green Jacket, long sought after by many, finally found its rightful home for 2025.

PGA Championship 

The 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow tested players with its demanding layout and challenging closing stretch. In the end, it was Scottie Scheffler who stood tallest, winning by five strokes to claim his first PGA Championship and third major title overall. Scheffler’s composed final round, keeping his nerve on the infamous “Green Mile”, highlighted how modern major-winning requires both power and tactical discipline. His victory consolidated his status among golf’s elite. 

US Open 

The 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont, notorious for its punishing setup, produced a true test of resilience, strategy and nerve. In the end, it was J. J. Spaun who emerged victorious, his first major title, sealing the win with a dramatic birdie putt on the 18th under intense pressure. 

Oakmont demanded more than just distance; it demanded control, patience and mental strength. Spaun’s win was a reminder that in U.S. Open conditions, those qualities matter more than raw power. 

The Open Championship 

At Royal Portrush, the final major of the year saw Scottie Scheffler capture the 2025 The Open Championship with a commanding performance. Scheffler finished 17-under, four shots ahead of runner-up Harris English, delivering a masterclass in links golf. 

His win at The Open reinforced just how complete a golfer he has become, capable of conquering both parkland and links, power courses and wind-blown coastlines.

Europe Triumphs at the 2025 Ryder Cup 

One of the defining moments of the 2025 golf calendar came with Team Europe’s away victory at the 2025 Ryder Cup, held at Bethpage Black. Europe defeated the United States 15–13, marking their first win on American soil since 2012.  

The week was built on cohesion, composure and clutch performances. Key players including stalwarts and rising stars, delivered under pressure, and Europe maintained composure even as the U.S. mounted a late comeback. The result underscored Europe’s strength as a team and added one of the most prestigious trophies in golf to their cabinet.
