The new golf season has kicked off with Hideki Matsuyama posting a historic 35-under-par score at the Kapalua Plantation Course. GOLF Subpar hosts Colt Knost and Drew Stoltz are looking ahead to the major season in 2025, predicting who will claim golf’s biggest prizes. The major championship conversation revolves around Rory McIlroy and his quest to end his 10-year major drought.
Knost predicts that McIlroy will win two majors in 2025, starting with the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow. McIlroy has a strong record at Quail Hollow, with four wins and 10 top-10 finishes in 13 events. Knost believes McIlroy will also win the 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush, where he holds the course record and famously made a quadruple bogey in 2019.
Stoltz, on the other hand, does not see McIlroy adding to his trophy case in 2025. Instead, he predicts that other European stars, including Jon Rahm, will win major titles. Stoltz believes Rahm’s motivation to win major championships is high, and he has the skills to succeed at The Open. Rahm’s ability to drive the ball and his short game make him a strong contender at major championships.
The hosts discuss how Rahm had a challenging major performance last year, but his determination to prove critics wrong will drive him to success in 2025. Stoltz highlights Rahm’s versatile skills and his potential to excel at major championships, particularly at The Open. He sees Rahm as a strong contender to win a major title this year.
As the golf season progresses, fans eagerly await the major championships and the potential for top players like McIlroy and Rahm to make their mark. With predictions and expectations running high, the 2025 major season promises to be an exciting and competitive time for the world of professional golf.
