2025 DGA Tour Standings Update: Through 3 Events, the Pressure Mounts

Three events into the 2025 DGA Tour season, and the scoreboard is starting to separate the grinders from the glory-hunters. Handicaps may have leveled the playing field, but the competition is getting fiercer by the round—and the standings tell the tale of who’s surviving, who’s thriving, and who’s barely keeping the wheels on.

Jack Spence leads the charge with 185 points, thanks to a tour-best 6 birdies, a league-low scoring average of 81.67, and an unmatched streak of three straight top-5 finishes. He’s become the benchmark for consistency, accuracy, and poise—even when cracking jokes about PED suspicions at Pine Hill. With zero triple bogeys and a birdie or better rate of 11.11%, Spence doesn’t just make the leaderboard—he sets the standard.

But right on his heels sits Kyler Messner, whose 170 points include a Major win at Eaglesticks and the lowest scoring average among regulars at 80.33. He leads the tour in pars (23) and has the second-lowest combined double and triple bogey rate—just 6.41% of his holes. While his putter failed him at Pine Hill, Messner continues to prove that steady ball-striking and mental toughness win out over flashy cards.

Trevor Monk (145 points) rounds out the top three, notching top-3 finishes in two of the first three events. While his stats may not pop off the page, Monk’s elite ability to hang around the leaderboard—thanks in part to a 35.19% par rate and a low double rate of 9.26%—is keeping him firmly in the championship conversation. Whether it’s smooth swings or chaotic swing thoughts, Monk shows up and performs.

In fourth sits Auston Sorg, whose 132 points are a testament to resilience and raw talent. While Sorg has more double bogeys (13) than anyone in the top 10, he also has 4 birdies and a scoring average under 88. His 11.11% birdie or better rate ranks third on tour—and even when his rounds get messy, his ability to bounce back keeps him in the hunt. Pine Hill’s nine doubles won’t be forgotten anytime soon.

Mike McGuire (124 points) made one of the largest jumps this week, climbing five spots after his clutch second-place finish at Pine Hill. His improvement around the greens and his ability to avoid disaster is becoming a storyline of its own. He boasts a surprisingly solid 27.78% par rate and chipped in his first-ever birdie at Pine Hill, a momentum-builder as the season heats up.

Shea McGuire (122 points) sits just behind his father and continues to fly under the radar, but a closer look reveals consistency worth noting. With 16 pars, a respectable 29.63% par rate, and a scoring average of 87.67, Shea has logged three solid performances and still hasn’t recorded a single round that could be considered a blow-up. If he can turn some of his bogeys into pars, he’s right in the mix.

Will Eyman (121 points) continues to prove he's trending in the right direction. With back-to-back finishes in the middle of the pack, Eyman is limiting triple bogeys better than before and keeping things tighter off the tee. His par rate of 16.67% remains low, but his ability to escape big numbers has improved. He’s climbed steadily each week and now sits just outside the top 5.

Seth Paszke, sitting at 104 points, remains a bit of a mystery. He’s logged zero birdies, but also avoids total disaster more often than not. His putting struggles have been well documented—including a 42-putt performance at Pine Hill—but his bogey/double rates are comparable to more successful players, and he’s still hanging inside the top 10.

Then there’s Harry Gilmore, who needed just two events to rocket into 9th place with 103 points. With 2 birdies, 9 pars, and an average score of 89.5, Gilmore’s no-shoes-no-problem approach is starting to look a lot more like a formula than a fluke. His 8.33% triple+ rate may still raise eyebrows, but after Pine Hill, the league’s officially on notice.

Rounding out the top 10 is Dylan Sharp, who may not have the stats to match the rest, but still holds a top-5 finish from The View Open. With just 8 pars across two rounds and 7 triple bogeys (second worst on tour), Sharp’s presence is less about consistency and more about moments—but somehow, he's still hanging around.

Just outside the top 10 sits Ryan Arter, sitting at 71 points through two events. He holds a strong 44.4% par rate, third best in the league, and has avoided trouble off the tee better than most. Despite missing Eaglesticks, his scoring average of 85.5 is competitive, and a good showing at Westchester could launch him right into the thick of it.

Gianni Young (60 points) is another wildcard. Though his par rate of 25% is promising, his 36.11% double bogey rate is one of the highest in the league. Gianni’s swings have been inconsistent, but he’s shown enough flashes to suggest there’s more in the tank—if he can clean up the middle of his scorecard.

And then there’s Jamichael Billups, whose situation may be the most unique of all. He sits at 0 points—not from poor play, but from ineligibility due to handicaps not being applied to his lone round. But oh, what a round it was. A gross 76, a scoring average of 76.0, 3 birdies, a 38.89% par rate, and zero doubles or triples. His advanced stats look like they came from a different league altogether. Once handicaps kick in, Billups might just become the tour's biggest threat.

As the calendar turns toward the heart of the season, each round now matters just a bit more.

The leaders are beginning to separate, but one breakout round—or blow-up—could send everything into a tailspin. In this league, nothing is safe.
