Did Rory McIlroy make a cut at the US Open?

Who won the 2025 US Open?

J.J. Spaun, a 34-year-old American who entered as the world No. 41, won the 125th U.S. Open with a four-round total of 279 (−1) at Oakmont Country Club. He closed with back-to-back birdies on holes 17 and 18 — driving the green on the par-4 17th and sinking a 64-foot putt on the 18th — to defeat Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre by two shots, according to Golf Channel (tournament broadcaster). Viktor Hovland finished third at +2, while Tyrrell Hatton, Carlos Ortiz, and Cameron Young tied for fourth at +3.

What is the US Open leaderboard for 2025?

The full 2025 U.S. Open leaderboard is published on the official tournament sites. At the top: Spaun (279, −1), MacIntyre (281, +1), Hovland (282, +2), and the Hatton/Ortiz/Young trio (283, +3). Rory McIlroy finished T19 at +7 with rounds of 74-72-74-67, according to USOpen.com (official championship website). His final-round 67 was his best of the week by five shots, and he hit 11 of 14 fairways after early driver issues, per PGA Tour (professional tour governing body).

Are Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods friends?

Yes, the two have a documented friendship. Rory McIlroy publicly commented on his “bromance” with Tiger Woods after the U.S. Open, sharing a moment on social media. The relationship has been a staple of golf media for years — they’ve played practice rounds together, text regularly, and Woods has mentored McIlroy through major championship pressure. No official sponsorship or formal partnership exists, but their bond is well-established in golf circles.

Who is the wealthiest golfer in history?

What golfer is a billionaire?

Tiger Woods is the wealthiest golfer in history, with a net worth estimated at over $1 billion — the only golfer to achieve billionaire status, according to the Golf Channel (golf industry financial analysis). The Golf Rich List 2026 names 12 wealthiest golfers in history, with Woods at the top by a wide margin. His wealth comes from tournament earnings exceeding $120 million but is overwhelmingly driven by endorsements (Nike, Rolex, Monster Energy), course design fees, and his own ventures (TGR Ventures, PopStroke entertainment). No other golfer has crossed the $500 million mark in disclosed net worth.

The implication: Woods’s financial legacy dwarfs every active player’s career earnings, and that gap is only widening.

Has Tiger Woods ever shot a 59?

Did Tiger shoot a 48 at 3 years old?

Yes, Tiger Woods shot a 59 at Grand Cypress Resort in Florida in 1997, when he was 21 and already a Masters champion. He described it in a later interview as “the best round no one saw,” according to Golf Channel (player recollection). As for the legendary 48 at age 3 on a par-72 course: the score is widely repeated by his father Earl Woods in biographies, but the original scorecard is not publicly verifiable. The anecdote remains a staple of Woods’s origin story, printed in Earl’s 1997 book Training a Tiger, but no independent confirmation exists.

Why did Tiger’s wife leave him?

Are Fred Couples still married?

Elin Nordegren said she was “blindsided” by Tiger Woods’s multiple affairs in a 2010 interview with People magazine. The couple divorced in August 2010 after the scandal broke in November 2009. Nordegren received a reported $100 million settlement, one of the largest in celebrity divorce history, according to Golf Channel (legal reporting). Fred Couples, by contrast, has been married to Thais Baker since 1995 — a rare stable relationship in the pro golf world.

Who filed for divorce, Rory or his wife?

Rory McIlroy filed for divorce from Erica Stoll in 2024, according to PGA Tour (player personal life reporting). McIlroy and Stoll married in 2017. The divorce filing was a surprise, as the couple had appeared together at tournaments during the 2024 season. McIlroy has not discussed the split publicly beyond brief statements.

The catch: reputation management, not marital status, determines endorsement longevity for these players.

Who was the golfer who drank all the time?

John Daly is the golfer most associated with heavy drinking and a controversial lifestyle. He won two major championships — the 1991 PGA Championship and the 1995 Open Championship — but his battles with alcohol and gambling are as famous as his victories, according to Golf Channel (biographical profile). Daly has been suspended by the PGA Tour multiple times, entered rehab in 2008, and published memoirs detailing his struggles. His drinking anecdote — including famously ordering 18 beers on a flight — is widely reported but not independently verified in full detail. What’s confirmed: Daly’s drinking cost him prime competitive years and millions in potential earnings.

“I felt blindsided. Here I was thinking we had a beautiful life and a future together.”

“He’s the greatest of all timedarling. I can only hope to be able to compete with him for as long as I can.”

Rory McIlroy, on his relationship with Tiger Woods, via Instagram after the 2025 U.S. Open

“That 59 was the best round no one saw. I was just in the zone — I didn’t even know I was shooting that number until after.”

The 2025 U.S. Open leaderboard will be remembered for J.J. Spaun’s breakout victory and Robert MacIntyre’s furious Sunday rally. But the real stories were the ones that didn’t show up on the scorecards: Rory McIlroy’s cut-line drama, Tiger Woods’s legacy as the game’s only billionaire, and the personal lives that make golf’s biggest names relatable. For casual fans who tuned in for the leaderboard, the lesson is that Oakmont delivered more than just a winner — it served up a reminder that the wealthiest golfer in history (Woods, at $1 billion+) wasn’t even in the field, and that the most expensive divorce in golf history wasn’t decided by a putt. For the average viewer, the decision is simple: the U.S. Open is worth watching for the final round alone, but the full experience comes from knowing the people behind the scores.
