Welcome to this week’s episode of The Golfing Mind. As a new season unfolds, this episode is an opportunity to pause, lift our heads from the fairway in front of us, and take a considered look at what the year ahead may hold for the game we love.

We reflect on the players, the competitions that matter most, from the major championships to team events and global tours, and ask what success will really demand in the months ahead.

Beyond players and trophies, we turn our attention to broader trends: how the professional game continues to change, what technology and equipment developments may genuinely influence performance, and how modern formats and commercial forces are reshaping golf’s identity.

As always on The Golfing Mind, this is not about prediction for its own sake. It is about perspective, reflection, and understanding the mental, emotional, and strategic currents that define excellence in golf. Settle in, and let’s look forward—thoughtfully—to 2026.
