2024 Summary
If you could summarize Theegala’s 2024 in one phrase, it would be “knocking on the door.” In just his third full season on the PGA Tour, he solidified his status as one of golf’s up-and-coming rising stars. He was even able to make his way onto the U.S. President’s Cup team via automatic pick on points. In the 26 events that Theegala played in, he missed the cut four times, had no wins, finished runner-up twice, was in the top 10 nine times, and in the 25 a total of 12 times. At the 2024 Majors, he finished tied for 45th at the Masters, tied for 12th at the PGA Championship, tied for 32nd at the U.S. Open, and missed the cut at the Open Championship. His best finishes came in the way of a runner-up finish at the Sentry in Hawaii and the RBC Heritage in South Carolina. He finished the 2024 season ranked 73rd in strokes gained total, 69th in strokes gained tee to green, 51st in strokes gained off the tee, 90th in approach play, and 103rd in strokes gained putting. He is currently the 13th-ranked player on the official world golf rankings.
2025 Prediction
Theegala has played two events so far in 2025. He played both Hawaii events, finishing tied for 36th at the Sentry and tied for 37th at the Sony Open. If the 27-year-old from California wants to take the next step in his career he is going to have to find more consistency in his game. He’s an exciting fan favorite who will continually find himself on a highlight reel with his scrambling and his unique swing, but if wants to become a name and stay on top of leaderboards, boring golf might be the direction he needs to go. My prediction for Sahith Theegala’s 2025 is two or fewer wins, will contend at one or fewer Majors, likely the PGA Championship, he will make the U.S. Ryder Cup team as a Captain’s Pick or maybe even on points, and finish a top 15 player on the official world golf rankings.
