With the 2025 season now over, the final statistics are complete and pretty much on par with the year’s most successful golfers.

Asian Tour Order of Merit champion Kazuki Higa [main picture] topped two of the major statistical categories. Finishing an impressive 135 under par for the year he led the Total Against Par list, and with a low average of only 1.83 Bogeys per Round he was also first on that table.

The Japanese golfer’s stellar season – highlighted by back-to-back victories in the Shinhan Donghae Open and Yeangder TPC in September – also saw him finish with seven top-10s, equalled only by Hong Kong’s Taichi Kho.

Having played six events compared to Higa’s 14, it was American Peter Uihlein who had the Best Scoring Average with 68.41, at an average of 2.8 under par per round. He also topped Birdies per Round with an average of 5.23 – a full point ahead of Higa in second with 4.22.

Wei-hsuan Wang.

Wang Wei-hsuan from Chinese Taipei had a breakthrough season, suggesting a star is born. A runner-up finish in the SJM Macao Open, after a play-off loss, caught the eye, as did a T2 and third place result in his two home ground events, the Yeangder TPC and Mercuries Taiwan Masters. He finished a career best ninth on the Merit list. He showed excellent touch on the greens, winning the Putts per GIR with 1.706, and also immense power off the tee topping the Driving Distance statistic with an average of 326.44 yards on the measuring holes.

Australian Kevin Yuan is known as one of the premier ball strikers on the Asian Tour, so it was no surprise to see him on top of the GIR category with 78.81%. His fine approach play led to five top 10s during the season, with a T3 at the Mandiri Indonesia Open being his best result.

Gaganjeet Bhullar from India, an 11-time Asian Tour winner, was highly accurate off the tee with 80.13% of Fairways Hit, leading this category, a whopping 5% better than Chinese Taipei’s Hung Chien-yao who was in second with 75.10%.

Thailand’s Sarit Suwannarut, a two-time Asian Tour champion, led the tour in Most Eagles with 12 made in 17 events. One of the tour’s most powerful drivers, he was also prolific in making Most Birdies recording 243 during the year, or 3.98 per round, placing sixth in the category.

Peter Uihlein.

Travis Smyth from Australia is one of the tour’s most consistent performers, recording five top 10’s with the high mark coming at the Mandiri Indonesia Open when he finished T3. His solid play resulted in a category leading 262 in Most Birdies in 17 events during the year.

American Chase Koepka was the best in recovering after bogies and led the Bounce Back category with 28.8%, referring to when he made birdie immediately following holes where he dropped shots. He had his best season on the Asian Tour finishing 46^th on the Merit list, keeping his card for the first time since joining in 2022.

Sadly, Bangladeshi veteran Siddikur Rahman was the only anomaly. He was impressive on and around the greens, leading the Putts per Round category with 28.13 and also topping the Tour in Scrambling with 73.98%. However, he finished the year 94^th on the Merit list to lose his Tour card for only the third time in 15 years.
