Like our Adam Schupak rightly argued earlier on Golfweek that the PGA Tour is full of exciting moments in 2025, with Rory McIlroy’s victory at Augusta the most indelible.
But what stories have you read? Each year, we end the calendar with an in-depth analysis of the numbers, an overview of which posts generated the most clicks.

So without further ado, here is an overview of the five stories you came to see us for in 2025.

2. Former LIV Golf winner tears up the league and says his new goal is to chase the PGA Tour card
Eugenio Chacarra of Spain watches his second shot on the 10th hole during day two of the 2025 BMW International Open at Golfclub Munchen Eichenried on July 4, 2025 in Munich, Germany.
Eugenio Chacarra, the former world No. 2 amateur turned professional to join LIV Golf from Oklahoma State, won in his fifth start at LIV Golf Bangkok in 2022. But as 2025 approached, he found himself in the middle of a career change. A member of Sergio Garcia’s Fireballs GC, Chacarra was not re-signed until 2025, and he opted to try to find a path to the PGA Tour in 2025 instead of playing for LIV Golf.
Chacarra detailed LIV Golf’s broken promises and a 24-year-old’s pursuit of a lifelong goal after stepping away and trying to be part of something different to start his career.

3. PGA Tour will return to popular Texas city, more changes are coming
Austin, TX.
Austin, Texas, has been reinserted into the PGA Tour schedule, albeit in a less desirable spot on the schedule. The WGC-Dell Match Play was played two weeks before the Masters in 2023, and with a huge purse and no cuts, it had one of the best fields of the season.
A new tournament has been added to FedEx Cup Fall, meaning many of the Tour’s top players likely won’t be in attendance.

Caves Valley, outside Baltimore, was designed by Tom Fazio and opened in 1991. It is ranked by Golfweek’s Best as the No. 6 private club in Maryland. The PGA Tour played the 2021 BMW Championship layout as part of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, and Patrick Cantlay and Bryson DeChambeau were tied at 27 under par, with Cantlay winning the playoff. Mild conditions that week favored low scores.
Here’s more of what Glover said.
