Many PGA Tour courses have been wholly uncompetitive in 2025, with the world’s best players making birdies and eagles with relative ease.

Hideki Matsuyama’s record-breaking win at The Sentry was criticised as the Tour’s best players took apart the Plantation Course at Kapalua.

Golf fans aren’t overly interested in watching the likes of Matsuyama, Scottie Scheffler, and Rory McIlroy make birdie after birdie. Even Pebble Beach, a notoriously tough test, was picked apart as the Northern Irishman cruised to victory at the AT&T Pro-Am.

However, one course has proven to be a true test of golf during the first two months of the season.

Hardest hole on the PGA Tour in 2025

Torrey Pines has hosted two events so far this year: Farmers Insurance Open and Genesis Invitational.

During the Farmers Insurance Open, strong winds and sloped greens tested the field and play was suspended during the second round.

Last month, Ludvig Aberg won the Genesis on an extremely testing set-up. The South Course had a major-like feel, with thick rough penalising any errant shot.

However, the hardest hole of the season so far came at the Farmer Insurance and the North Course.

The 495-yard par-four second hole had a scoring average of +.469 over par and just two golfers made birdie.

What’s more, in just two rounds of golf, 53 bogeys and seven double bogeys were recorded. The second hardest hole this season was the 10th at the Mexico Open, and the third was the 13th at Torrey Pines North Course.

Easiest hole on the PGA Tour in 2025

Unsurprisingly, the easiest hole on the PGA Tour in 2025 came at Kapalua. The par-five fifth had a scoring average of -.877 under par and yielded 21 eagles during the four rounds. Furthermore, 171 birdies were made.

The second easiest hole so far this season is the par-five sixth at La Quinta Country Club, and the third is the 11th at the Nicklaus Tournament Course.

Nine of the top ten easiest holes on the Tour are par-fives. Perhaps turning some of these welcoming longer holes into par-fours is the way forward in order to make set-ups more challenging for the world’s best players.
