Episode Synopsis

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 FINALEJeeno 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 WOESThe 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 MAKEOVERMin 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.Quick HitsOllie Schniederjans banned from PGA Tour for LIV appearances • Lexi Thompson to cut her 2026 schedule in half due to a hip injury • A quick look ahead to the Hero World Challenge Hosted on Acast.
