Description

On November 25th, 2025, we break down Jeeno Thitikul's historic, record-shattering performance at the CME, dive into the flawed OWGR system, and analyze Min Woo Lee's new physique.


LPGA TOUR FINALE

  • Jeeno Thitikul capped an incredible season by winning the CME Group Tour Championship and, more importantly, breaking Annika Sörenstam's 23-year-old single-season scoring average record, a mark many thought was untouchable.
  • Thitikul on the achievement: "Hope Annika was not going to be angry on that."
  • Her motivation was fueled by a four-putt loss two months ago, after which she took a picture of herself with an "ice pack put in my eyes because I cried so bad."


WORLD RANKING WOES

  • The debate over the Official World Golf Ranking has reignited, with many questioning a system that ranks Korn Ferry Tour star Johnny Keefer (47th) ahead of established pro Harry Hall (57th), despite a massive gap in their underlying performance metrics.
  • Keefer is ranked 91st on Data Golf, while Hall is ranked 19th, highlighting the system's perceived disconnect from true performance.
  • The discrepancy highlights the real-world career implications for players whose major championship eligibility and tour status hang in the balance of this controversial algorithm.


MIN WOO'S MAKEOVER

  • Min Woo Lee has undergone a significant physical transformation, intentionally bulking up to add power and stability to his swing. He's also recommitted to a mental reset, focusing on process over results to build consistency for the upcoming season.
  • He noted that as a result of the new regimen, "the shirts are getting a little tight."
  • Alongside the physical changes, he's adopted a new mindset to focus on "the boring stuff" and recommit to the day-to-day process.
