Marcel Siem: Course Records with a Hangover
Marcel Siem, one of the most colorful German pros on the DP World Tour, made headlines again in 2025 – this time off the usual sporting context. In the \”Life on Tour\” podcast, the 44-year-old reported three personal course records he claimed were achieved completely hungover and without sleep. Especially legendary was his round at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am 2015: after a party night with Long Island Iced Teas, beer, and champagne, Siem played one of the best rounds of his life, despite several breaks to vomit. He shared the course record with golfing legends like Tom Watson, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods.
Exuberant European Team Victory Celebration after Ryder Cup 2025
Following the narrow 15:13 victory in the 2025 Ryder Cup, the European players left the tension of their singles matches behind and celebrated exuberantly. At the press conference following the award ceremony, discussion already turned to the upcoming party night: Tyrrell Hatton joked that Sepp Straka would remain \”undefeated\” in partying, and Justin Rose recalled his own extended celebration after the 2018 victory. Shane Lowry announced he would leave early – though how the night unfolded remained unclear until Lowry’s next social media post.
The celebrations began with fans chanting Ole-Ole and continued already on the team bus. Champagne showers and lively atmosphere accompanied the team that celebrated their triumph extensively off the golf course as well.
