On December 18th, 2025, we break down a seismic shift in the Data Golf rankings, analyze the "adults" of Q School, and check in on Tiger’s status ahead of the TGL launch.

THE DATA GOLF SHAKEUP

The global hierarchy has flipped. Tommy Fleetwood is now the undisputed world number two behind Scheffler, while Ben Griffin has officially killed the "Loan Officer" bit by cracking the top five—proving his floor is higher than most major champions' ceilings. * Stat: Ben Griffin is now statistically ranked higher than Xander Schauffele, Bryson DeChambeau, and Patrick Cantlay. * The Take: Griffin isn't a cute story anymore; he is an elite ball-striking machine.

Q SCHOOL & LPGA DOMINANCE

Adam Svensson played the "adult in the room" at Dye’s Valley to secure his card, while Alejandro Tosti proved he’s more than just a villain—he’s a legitimate threat akin to early Patrick Reed. Meanwhile, Jeeno Thitikul ends the year as the undisputed LPGA queen. * Stat: Thitikul finishes the year with nearly double the points of world number two Nelly Korda. * The Vibe: Tosti brings the heat, but Svensson brought the briefcase.
