Recently Bryson DeChambeau and Phil Mickelson have revealed how they like to take time off to rest and recover from their tiring schedule. “Play less, have a balanced life on and off the golf court. I know that it gives me positives personally and professionally”, said Mickelson while DeChambeau is all about ‘giving it his all’ after having the time to rest. Now, while many golfers may agree with this, Tyrrell Hatton, who has been a consistent presence on the golf scene in recent years begs to differ. With the emergence of LIV Golf and other activations, one might assume that his playing schedule has slowed down. But is that really the case? Not really.

Hatton disagrees with the notion that he’s playing less golf. In f act, he’s had a very busy year, with this event being his 26th or 27th of the year. Since the LIV season concluded, he’s been focused on playing as much as possible on the DP World Tour to earn valuable Ryder Cup points. And it’s paid off – he won the Dunhill, which allowed him to play in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, where he had two good weeks.

“I disagree with playing less, if I’m honest because I think this is my 26th, it might even be my 27th event of the year. This year has been a very busy year”, he said in a press conference with PIF Saudi International which is taking off from today at Riyadh Golf Club. Having a clear goal in mind has been a great motivator for Hatton. Knowing that he needs to perform well to earn those Ryder Cup points has given him an extra boost of energy and focus. “But again, touching on John having an incentive this week like I had incentives those weeks to earn Ryder Cup points”, he continued.

As he put it, having limited opportunities can sometimes be a good thing – it forces him to stay sharp and make the most of every chance he gets. And you’ll be surprised to know that Hatton has quite some plans set ahead of the 2025 season.

Tyrell Hatton wants to ‘actually give himself a chance’  in the 2025 season

Tyrrell Hatton is set to soar in the 2025 season with his plans lined up before the season has even started. The 33-year-old English golfer is eager to make a strong impression, particularly with his sights set on securing a spot on the European Ryder Cup team. Hatton has already begun preparing for the new season, despite still competing in the 2024 PIF Saudi International powered by Softbank Investment Advisers.

Hatton’s current season has been marked by significant milestones, including victories at LIV Golf Nashville and the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. He has matched his career-high in victories in a single season and is now gunning for his third win of the year. Despite taking a three-week break, which included a vacation to the Maldives, Hatton feels refreshed and ready to tackle the challenges ahead. “I think it’s something about this time of year and end of season, you just try and enjoy yourself a bit more,” Hatton said. “I don’t have any regrets over that.”

As Hatton looks to the 2025 season, he’s aware that the clock is ticking, and he’s eager to make a major breakthrough. Despite being one of the best players without a major victory, Hatton remains hopeful that next year will be his year. “Maybe next year will be the year that I actually give myself a chance,” Hatton said. “Ultimately, I try my best every week. Some weeks work out better than others.” With a strong support system, including his Legion XIII captain Jon Rahm, Hatton is confident that he can achieve his goals and make a lasting impact on the golf world.
