These stories bring together extraordinary achievements, lifestyle experiences, and the fascination of the game in impressive settings.
Marcel Siem: Course Records Achieved Hungover
Marcel Siem, one of Germany’s most colorful DP World Tour professionals, grabbed attention in 2025 beyond the usual sporting context. In the \”Life on Tour\” podcast, the 44-year-old shared three personal course records he set while reportedly completely hungover and sleep-deprived. Particularly legendary was his round at the 2015 Pebble Beach Pro-Am: after a party night with Long Island Iced Teas, beer, and champagne, Siem played one of the best rounds of his life despite multiple breaks to vomit. He shared the course record with golf legends such as Tom Watson, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods.
Lively Ryder Cup 2025 Victory Celebrations
Following a narrow 15-13 victory at the 2025 Ryder Cup, the European players left the tension of the singles matches behind and celebrated exuberantly. Already at the post-victory press conference, they joked about the upcoming party night: Tyrrell Hatton quipped that Sepp Straka remained \”undefeated\” when it came to partying, and Justin Rose recalled his own extended celebration after the 2018 win. Shane Lowry announced plans to leave early, though how the night unfolded remained unclear until his next social media post. The celebrations kicked off with fans chanting Ole-Ole and continued on the team bus with champagne showers and lively atmosphere as the team thoroughly enjoyed their triumph off the golf course as well.
La Jenny: The World’s Only Nude Golf Course
The La Jenny golf course in France’s Nouvelle-Aquitaine region offers golfers a unique experience: nude golfing is not only permitted but explicitly encouraged. Between pine forests and dunes, players can improve their game on six holes – three Par-3s and three Par-4s – free from polo shirts, pants, or belts. Since its opening in 1993, La Jenny has established itself as the only officially recognized nude golf course worldwide, attracting nature-loving golfers who value freedom of movement and a relaxed atmosphere. After the round, the clubhouse invites players to enjoy drinks and unwind. Unlike other places such as Cypress Cove Resort in Florida, nudity here is mandatory, not optional.
