The 2025 season is coming to an end. We look back on the greatest highlight shots and unforgettable moments of 2025 – the year in review.
As the 2025 season wraps up, it’s time to reflect. With the European Team’s Ryder Cup victory, Rory McIlroy’s Grand Slam campaign, and many other highlights, there is much to remember. Often, the individual shots that led to these successes are overlooked, even though they are just as spectacular as the achievements themselves. This year once again featured legendary shots that players and fans alike will remember for a long time.
Rory McIlroy’s Shot on No. 15 at the Masters
Perhaps the most legendary shot of the year happened at the Masters’ 15th hole. Rory McIlroy was tied with Justin Rose and Ludvig Aberg after 14 holes. His drive veered slightly left, leaving a tree between him and the green on the par-5 hole. While most players would play it safe to secure par, McIlroy took a full-risk shot with a massive draw toward the green, landing the ball just near the pin. This shot not only demonstrated the Northern Irishman’s skill but also his incredible determination to finally win the Masters and complete the Career Grand Slam in 2025.
