Marcel Siem’s Hungover Course Records
Marcel Siem, one of Germany’s most colorful pros on the DP World Tour, made headlines in 2025 again – this time off the usual sporting context. In the \”Life on Tour\” podcast, the 44-year-old reported three personal course records, which he claimed to have shot completely hungover and sleep-deprived. His round at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am 2015 was especially legendary: 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 golf legends like Tom Watson, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods.
European Ryder Cup Team’s Joyous Victory Celebrations
After the narrow 15:13 win at the 2025 Ryder Cup, the European players left the tension of the singles matches behind and celebrated exuberantly. Even in the press conference following the award ceremony, the upcoming party night was a hot topic: 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 – but how the night unfolded remained unclear until Lowry’s next social media post. The celebrations began with fans’ ole-ole chants and continued on the team bus. Champagne showers and great spirits accompanied the team as they enjoyed the triumph off the golf course as well.
