🏆 Paul Hawkins – Champion Again
- Finals Score: -9 (56) – OVERALL FEDEX SCORE: -19
- Season Summary: Paul entered Finals Night as the reigning champion and top of the leaderboard, carrying a two-shot advantage. He played with the poise of a true champion—sinking clutch putts, reading the greens with precision, and never letting pressure rattle him. His eagle on hole 3 was a statement moment, re-establishing his lead after PZ briefly drew level. From there, Paul kept his foot on the gas, navigating the course with tactical brilliance. Retaining the 2025 Footgolf Devon Champion title confirms his dominance and consistency at the highest level.
🥈 PZ – Relentless Challenger
- Finals Score: -6 (59) – OVERALL FEDEX SCORE: -14
- Season Summary: PZ came into the finals as one of the closest threats to Hawkins. He made an explosive start, clawing back the two-shot deficit within the first two holes. But a par on hole 3, against Hawkins’ eagle, shifted the tide. From that point, PZ was forced into aggressive play—some shots paid off, others didn’t, especially on hole 6 where the risk didn’t yield reward. Still, his performance was composed and competitive, securing second place and proving he’s one of the fiercest competitors in the league.
🥉 Tony Follett – The Comeback King
- Finals Score: -4 (61) – OVERALL FEDEX SCORE: : -12
- Season Summary: Tony’s round was a tale of two halves. His front nine was steady but unspectacular, while his back nine was electric. Known for his late surges, Tony delivered again—stringing together birdies and finishing with a clutch birdie on hole 18 to edge out George Williams for third place. His season has been marked by resilience and flair, and while he left his charge a little too late to challenge for the title, his podium finish was well-earned.
🌟 George Williams – Mr. Consistency
- Finals Score: -5 (61) – OVERALL FEDEX SCORE: -11
- Season Summary: George’s steady play and reliable form earned him the Most Consistent Player award for 2025. His Finals Night round was solid, with few errors and smart shot selection. Though he missed out on third place by a single stroke, his season-long progression has been impressive. George is quietly building a reputation as a future title contender—expect him to be in the mix next year.
🔥 Stephen Williams – Rising Star
- Finals Score: -2 (64) – OVERALL FEDEX SCORE: -7
- Season Summary: Stephen showed flashes of brilliance throughout the season, and Finals Night was no exception. He drained some long-range putts and demonstrated a growing confidence in his game. Finishing fifth in a competitive field is no small feat, and his upward trajectory suggests he’s one to watch. With more experience, Stephen could be pushing the top three very soon.
👶 Jay Woodward – Newcomer Champion 2025
- Finals Score: +4 (70) – OVERALL FEDEX SCORE: +1
- Season Summary: Jay’s consistent form throughout the season gave him a one-shot edge going into Finals Night over fellow newcomer Joe Hawkins. That margin proved decisive, as both players matched each other shot-for-shot on the night. Jay’s ability to hold his nerve and maintain his lead under pressure earned him the Newcomer Champion title. His calm demeanor and strategic play make him a promising talent for 2026.
⚔️ Joe Hawkins – The Challenger
- Finals Score: +4 (70) – OVERALL FEDEX SCORE: +2
- Season Summary: Joe pushed Jay to the limit, matching every move on Finals Night. Though he couldn’t overcome the one-shot deficit from the season standings, his performance was impressive.
