Sam Burns' Elite Putting Headlines a Solid 2025 Season
Sam Burns wrapped up a steady, consistent 2025 season with an 11th-place finish at the Hero World Challenge. He posted 13 top-25 results in 2025, and came closest to a win at the Canadian Open, where he fell to Ryan Fox in a four-hole playoff. The 29-year-old once again shined with the flatstick, finishing the year as the number one putter on tour and gaining an impressive +0.983 strokes per round on the greens. The one area that held him back was his iron play. Burns ranked 127th in strokes gained on approach, losing -0.118 strokes per round after finishing 2024 ranked 73rd and gaining 0.173. His tee-to-green play was fairly average overall, ranking 107th (+0.014 per round), and his driving accuracy sat at 60.20%, good for 97th on tour. Burns still put together a strong season from start to finish, and if he can get his iron play and ball-striking back to where they've been in the past, he should be poised for another successful campaign in 2026.
