Predictions for 2015

The 2015 golf calendar has only just started (we don’t count January round these parts!) but I still have time to make some predictions for the year ahead.

Here’s what I think will be happening in 2015. Don’t worry folks, it’s just for fun!




I think that Rory McIlroy will consolidate his world No. 1 ranking.

Others to push up the rankings will be Jordan Spieth, Jason Day and Ricky Fowler. However if McIlroy performs reasonably well in the majors and World Golf Championships then he should retain his No. 1 spot.

The Masters will see McIlroy win his grand slam major title. The Augusta National course suits McIlroy’s game and he should be able to cope with the immense pressure that will be heaped upon him.

Both the US Open and the Open will be played on Public Links courses this year. The US Open will be at Chambers Bay, Tacoma WA (on the west coast just south of Seattle). It is a new links style course in contrast to the “old” course at St Andrews. As public courses anyone can book to play them.

The US Open will be won by Ricky Fowler.

The Open will be see Justin Rose lift the Claret Jug.

The US PGA’s Wanamaker Trophy at Whistling Straits WI will be lifted by Adam Scott.

Look out for strong performances from Billy Herschel (2014 Fedex Cup winner) and Tiger Woods (on his return from injury).

The Race to Dubai will be won by Sergio Garcia. His recent consistency will see him through.




The PGA Tour’s Fedex Cup will be won by and Australian - either Adam Scott or Jason Day.

In the Ladies game the big names in 2015 will be Suzann Pettersen, Michelle Wie, Lydia Ko, Shanshan Feng, Charley Hull, Stacy Lewis and Inbee Park.

The US Open in Lancaster PA I expect Michelle Wie to retain the trophy.

The Women’s British Open at Turnery will see the major breakthrough of Charley Hull.


The Evian championship (at Evian-Les-Bains near Lake Geneva) is the final major on both the LPGA and European Tour and will be won by Shenzhen Feng.

The money list winners will be Michelle Wie for the LPGA tour and Suzann Pettersen for the European Tour.


No matter who wins the various tournaments I am looking forward to an exciting year. Let the fun commence.
