The PGA Tour and LIV Golf seasons have concluded, though a significant amount of golf remains to be contested through the close of 2025. The DP World Tour is poised for an exciting period of attention with the Irish Open and its premier event, the BMW PGA Championship, scheduled for the subsequent two weeks, leading up to the Ryder Cup’s grand finale at Bethpage Black in September.
In the interim before this prestigious international competition, the PGA Tour will resume after a two-week offseason break, initiating FedEx Cup Fall at the Procore Championship. This tournament is set to host a roster including 11 of the 12 U.S. Ryder Cup team members. Xander Schauffele is currently the only one absent, but this may be subject to change.
Despite the overlapping schedules of college football and the commencement of Week 1 in the NFL season, there will still be ample golf action to follow. And when golf is being played, the most exceptional player on the planet remains Scottie Scheffler.
Even though the world’s top-ranked golfer did not secure the FedEx Cup title for the second year consecutively as intended, he did accomplish a variety of other achievements in his 2025 season. Tommy Fleetwood ultimately claimed the season-long race, demonstrating remarkable consistency; similarly, Jon Rahm captured the equivalent honor on LIV Golf for the second consecutive year.
Were these three golfers truly the most consistent performers in 2025? What of those who reached heights rarely attained? This comparison between consistent performance and extraordinary peaks is what makes the balancing act of The Power 18 especially interesting.
The Power 18 offers a perspective on the current performance levels of golfers, placing emphasis on their play in recent tournaments. It’s a broader view than solely focusing on the outcome of the most recent tournament but more precise than the Official World Golf Rankings, which account for the performances of over 2,000 golfers throughout an entire season.
