The 17 most mind-blowing stats from the 2025 PGA Tour season

The craziest stats from the 2025 PGA Tour season.

Records were smashed, streaks were set, and some of them weren’t even by Scottie Scheffler. The 2025 PGA Tour season was full of jaw-dropping numbers, so we’ve rounded up the most astonishing stats that prove just how ridiculous the world’s best golfers really are.

The PGA Tour’s 2025 FedEx Cup season is in the books, and it’s left behind a mountain of numbers that boggle the brain. Scottie Scheffler has posted a scoring average only Tiger Woods has ever bettered, a 20-year-old South African has launched drives we thought only existed in video games, and players have been holing out from miles away or going months without a three-putt.

In a year where the stats were as jaw-dropping as the golf itself, here’s my pick of the most mind-blowing numbers from the 2025 PGA Tour season.

1. Slicker than your average

Scottie Scheffler’s scoring average of 68.140 wasn’t just the best of 2025 – it’s one of the best in PGA Tour history. He finished almost a full shot ahead of second-place Rory McIlroy (69.083) and more than a shot clear of Tommy Fleetwood (69.357) in third. Only peak Tiger Woods, (67.794 in 2000, 68.115 in 2006, 67.794 in 2007, and 68.052 in 2009) has ever done better.

2. Redefining power off the tee

20-year-old South African Aldrich Potgieter has averaged 327.4 yards off the tee this season – the longest driving distance ever seen on Tour. He’s 4.4 yards clear of Rory McIlroy, who ranks second, and 1.4 yards ahead of the previous longest ever average, which was Rory’s 326.3-yard average in 2022-2023.

And he did it all using a forgiving driver model not normally associated with maximum distance.

3. (Ball) speed demons

Potgieter also topped the ball speed chart at 190.14 mph, just shy of Cameron Champ’s all-time best of 190.94 mph in 2020-21.

4. Bombs away

Despite his power, Potgieter’s longest drive of the year was “only” 401 yards – not even in the top 40 for the biggest bashes of 2025.

The longest drive of the season belonged to Jake Knapp, who unloaded a 444-yarder at The Sentry.

The eight longest drives of the year all came on the 6th hole of the final round at Kapalua, a par-4 that – you’ll never guess – plays significantly downhill off the tee.

5. Little green monster

Rico Hoey hit 72.15% of greens – the best on Tour and comfortably above the 65.72% average, but lower than most years’ leaders. It’s the lowest GIR percentage to top the category since 2016-17.

6. The green mile

I don’t know about you, but when I hit more than three greens in a row I start to think I should probably quit my job and head off to Florida for a life on the PGA Tour.

Turns out I might have a way to go, as Sami Valimaki managed a streak of 39 consecutive greens in regulation in 2025.

Taylor Pendrith was next-best with a run of 31, while Chris Kirk and Collin Morikawa both played 30 holes in a row without missing a green.

The longest active streak belongs to Harry Higgs, who has hit his last 16 greens in a row.

7. Saving Scottie

Nobody got up and down more often than Scottie Scheffler, whose 273 successful scrambles from 398 attempts gave him a Tour-leading 68.59% ratio.

Only one man got up and down less than 50% of the time on the PGA Tour. That man is Europe’s newest Ryder Cup qualifier Rasmus Hojgaard, who got up and down 173 times from 350 attempts (49.43%). Europe will have to hope he hits a lot of greens at Bethpage.

8. Flight club

Nobody hit it higher than Frankie Capan’s average peak height of 133′ 11″, while Takumi Kanaya preferred the ‘hit it low to win the dough’ approach – his 61′ 4″ average was 16 feet lower than the next lowest.

For context, PGA Tour average is 103′ 4″.

9. Pick that out

Sungjae Im led hole-outs with 32. Yes, that’s 32 times he didn’t need his putter. Harry Hall was second with 29, while Keegan Bradley, Si Woo Kim, and Andrew Novak all had 27.

10. From downtown

Patrick Reed’s albatross from 286 yards at the US Open was the longest hole-out of the season.

Tom Kim’s 252-yard ace at the PGA Championship was close behind (if you can call 36 yards close), and became the longest hole-in-one in PGA Tour history in the process.

11. Spade runner

Hideki Matsuyama got up and down from bunkers 71.32% of the time, putting him miles clear of the Tour average of 56.69%.

Tom Hoge, meanwhile, ran off 17 straight sand saves – the longest streak of the season.

12. Buckets

Patrick Fishburn drained a 105’ 8” putt at the Valero Championship – the longest of the season and second-longest in PGA Tour history, behind Craig Barlow’s 111’ 5” effort in 2008.

13. One and done

Almost half the time Taylor Montgomery stands over a putt, his next action is picking it out of the hole. The 30-year-old had a one-putt percentage of 46.53%, putting him clear of Harry Hall in second (45.98%) and Cameron Young in third (44.65%).

Matti Schmid clocked up the longest run of one-putts, using his putter only once for 17 holes in a row.

Tour average is 39.42%.

14. Just tap it in

Stephen Jaeger went 339 holes without a three-putt before that run came to an end.

Jason Dufner has the current longest streak, sitting at 234. Rickie Fowler is next best, but some way back – he’s played 155 holes since his last three-whack.

15. Bouncebackability

Scottie Scheffler is often praised for his ability to bounce back from adversity, and the stats back it up. He leads the PGA Tour in ‘bounce back’ – a stat that tracks the percentage of the time a player follows an over-par hole with a birdie or better – and it’s not even close. Scheffler’s bounce back rate is 36.5%, putting him a long way clear of Harry Hall (30.19%), Rory McIlroy (28.15%), and Kurt Kitayama (28.15%).

16. Weekend plans

Xander Schauffele’s consistency is unreal – he’s on a run of 71 straight made cuts. That’s eight more than Scheffler. And no one else even has 20.

17. Fairway finder

Noah Goodwin hit 26 fairways in a row, which is impressive, though still a way short of Adam Long’s all-time record of 69 in 2022-23.

So there you have it. From record-breaking drives to ice-cold putting streaks, the 2025 PGA Tour has delivered numbers that will live long in the memory.

If this is the benchmark heading into 2026, golf fans are in for a treat.
