2025 Expectations

Finau has played in five events so far in 2025. He finished tied for 15th at the Sentry in Hawaii, missed the cut at the American Express in California, missed the cut at the Farmers Insurance Open in California, tied for 13th at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in California, and finished tied for fifth at the Genesis Invitational in California. The 35-year-old from Utah has proven he can win on the PGA Tour, but the next step in his career is contending more frequently in Majors and securing that elusive first Major title. His length off the tee and ability to scramble make him a threat at courses like Augusta National and Quail Hollow, and if he can sharpen his ball striking and putting, he could be in for a career-defining year. The expectations for Tony Finau’s 2025 are one or fewer tour wins, contending at one of the Majors, looking at the PGA Championship or the Masters, a U.S. Ryder Cup Team snub, and finishing a top 30 player on the official world golf rankings.
