THE MATH OF MISERY - December 16th, 2025


Listen Later

We break down the brutal "no ties" finish at Dye’s Valley, the return of the Tour's biggest agitator, and Ben Griffin’s statistical leap into the world's elite.


Q SCHOOL CHAOS
  • We dissect the "math of misery" at Dye’s Valley, where the strict no-ties rule created a zero-sum game at the 11-under cut line, forcing a high-stakes head-to-head between Ben Silverman and Dylan Wu for the final card.
  • While AJ Ewart cruised to victory at -14, veteran Camilo Villegas missed his livelihood by a single shot at -10.
  • The "Villain" returns: Alejandro Tosti (-12) earns his card, guaranteeing friction for the 2026 season—we discuss why his disciplinary record makes Tyrrell Hatton look like a choir boy.


THE GRIFFIN ASCENSION
  • It is time to retire the "former loan officer" narrative; following his wedding to Doug Sieg, Ben Griffin has statistically arrived as a world-beater.
  • Griffin has skyrocketed to #5 in Data Golf and #9 in the OWGR, cementing himself as a legitimate top-10 talent.
  • We analyze the swing changes and mental freedom that have turned a feel-good story into a dominant force.


ROSTER WATCH & TIGER
  • The "silly season" panic subsides as Si Woo Kim and Sungjae Im stay put, effectively killing rumors of an International team exodus to LIV.
  • Tiger Woods Update: He is currently only chipping and putting following lumbar disc replacement; we explain why fans should temper expectations for a Genesis Invitational appearance.
