On November 12th, 2025, we break down Rory McIlroy's new legacy award and its link to his Grand Slam, the massive 'Caitlin Clark effect' at The Annika, and Anthony Kim's refreshingly honest comeback journey.
RORY'S LEGACY & CLEAR HEAD
- The DP World Tour honors Rory McIlroy with a permanent legacy award, a fitting tribute after a season where he finally captured the Masters to complete the Grand Slam, a resurgence we link to his off-course simplification.
- "I can't keep all the plates spinning at the same time," McIlroy said, crediting his seven recent wins to the "clear head" he gained after stepping away from the PGA Tour Policy Board.
- Rory becomes just the fifth player to receive such an honor from the tour, cementing his place among European golf royalty.
THE CAITLIN CLARK EFFECT
- The 'Caitlin Clark effect' is in full force on the LPGA, as her pro-am appearance at The Annika alongside Nelly Korda caused a massive spike in interest and ticket demand for the event.
- Tournament host Annika Sorenstam noted the WNBA star "brings more people to the game," a fact supported by last year's "twelvefold" increase in ticket demand.
- In a fun crossover, Clark will have her Indiana Fever teammates caddying for her, bringing a unique team atmosphere to the course.
ANTHONY KIM'S COMEBACK
- Despite being relegated from the Liv Golf tour, Anthony Kim is winning fans with his inspiring and raw honesty about his struggles, both on and off the course, during his comeback season.
- He didn't hold back on his performance, calling his short game "straight trash" in a candid social media post that resonated with fans for its authenticity.
- Kim is focusing on gratitude for his family, his second chance, and his sobriety, powerfully sharing his journey with the hashtag "#SOBERisDOPE".
