Our most-read articles in the \”Panorama and Lifestyle\” category of 2025 show just how diverse the world of golf can be: from Marcel Siem’s legendary course records after wild nights to the exuberant celebrations of the European Ryder Cup team, and even unique places like La Jenny, the world’s only nude golf course. Added to this are spectacular record rounds by Bryson DeChambeau and NBA star Stephen Curry, high-profile moves such as Thomas Müller’s relocation to Canada, and the iconic Pebble Beach course on California’s Pacific coast that merges sport and luxury. These stories blend outstanding achievements, lifestyle experiences and the fascination of the game in stunning settings.
Marcel Siem: Course Records with a Hangover
Marcel Siem, one of Germany’s most flamboyant pros on the DP World Tour, made headlines again in 2025 – this time beyond the usual sporting context. In the \”Life on Tour\” podcast, the 44-year-old spoke of three personal course records he claims to have set completely hungover and sleep-deprived. His round at the 2015 Pebble Beach Pro-Am stands out: after a party night involving Long Island Iced Teas, beer and champagne, Siem played one of the best rounds of his life despite multiple vomiting breaks, sharing the course record with legends like Tom Watson, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.
Ryder Cup 2025: European Team’s Exuberant Victory Celebration
After the narrow 15-13 win at the 2025 Ryder Cup, the European players left the tension of the singles matches behind and celebrated wildly. The party night was already a topic at the post-trophy press conference; 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 the night’s events only became clear with his next social media post. Fans’ Ole chants kicked off the celebrations, which continued on the team bus, accompanied by champagne showers and lively atmosphere as the team revelled in their triumph on and off the course.
La Jenny: The World’s Only Nude Golf Course
La Jenny Golf Course, located in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France, offers golfers a unique experience: playing golf naked is not only allowed, but expressly encouraged. Amidst pine forests and dunes, players can improve their technique on six holes – three Par-3s and three Par-4s – free from polo shirts, pants or belts. Since 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 play, the clubhouse invites guests to enjoy drinks and unwind. Unlike other places such as Cypress Cove Resort in Florida, nudity here is mandatory, not optional.
