A summer of milestones and expectations
The international golf scene continues to offer plenty of reasons for both fans and professionals to stay engaged. Among the events that have generated the most attention is the TGL season opener, which kicked off with an exciting matchup between Atlanta Drive GC and New York Golf Club, highlighting the growing appeal of alternative competition formats.
Tiger Woods and a new chapter
In addition, Tiger Woods, having recently turned 50, is now eligible to compete on senior circuits such as the PGA Tour Champions, a path that could reignite the legendary player’s competitive participation as he continues his recovery journey.
LIV Golf heading into 2026
Meanwhile, LIV Golf remains at the center of international debate, with ongoing discussions about earning points for the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) and the expansion of its competitive format for 2026. These developments promise an even more intense and engaging season for both players and spectators.
New sponsorships on the PGA Tour
This year, the PGA Tour also announced major global partnerships, including the reintroduction of iconic sponsors such as Cadillac for high-profile events, reinforcing the strong connection between professional golf and international brands.
Equipment and strategies in 2025
Beyond the major tournaments, changes in equipment and player choices are generating significant discussion. The diversity seen in players’ “What’s In The Bag” (WITB) in 2025 reflects a clear trend toward customization rather than standardization.
Global golf looking to the future
These events collectively illustrate a vibrant and constantly evolving international golf scene, marked by competitive innovations, strategic moves, and legendary figures who continue to shape the global golf agenda.
