If the recent success of the Internet Invitational is any indication, much of the action in the world of golf is happening on social media. Sure, nobody had a more dominant run in the sport than Scottie Scheffler in 2025. But, then again, Golf Twitter put up some preposterous numbies, too.
What better way to tell the full story of golf in 2025 than with a roundup of all the best tweets (X posts*), Instagrams and TikToks. Below is our best effort to do exactly that, in chronological order, of course.
Max Homa, Mike Francesa spar over TGL
This one was near and dear to my heart as a longtime listener, first-time caller of WFAN. A true worlds colliding situation. I’m no TGL fan, but if you know Mike Francesa, you know he’s often comically wrong when it comes to big-picture predictions. So I expect 2026 to go down as the greatest year in TGL history, and for virtual golf to become the world’s Numbah One Spawt by 2030.

“What’s the source of this data?”
Former pro golfer breaks down the “cost of pro golf”
A phenomenal breakdown of just how impossible playing professional golf is, including for the guys slumming it on the mini tour. Alex Romo sent out the video to his following of more than 1.3 million on TikTok and it ended up making its way to every other social-media platform overnight. Romo does a ton of these types of breakdowns on his TikTok page and is well worth a follow.
Nelly Korda bodybags Keegan Bradley on her Instagram story
As I said, I think TGL is one of the many signs of societal decay at large, but I can’t deny it delivered some sweet, sweet content in 2025.
Jacob Bridgeman becomes the BridgeMan
Jessica Hadwin’s untimely joke at her husband’s expense after Players MC
At a tournament where simply making the weekend would earn you, at minimum, $50,250, this was not the time for the ol’ MC hammer joke. You live and you learn. Ejecto, seato cuz!
Phil Mickelson’s worst take … ever?
Wife of the year, the millennium and the galaxy finds Scotty Cameron at thrift store
