Beneath the fierce competitiveness of the PGA Tour, a number of players manage to infuse a sense of humor and light-heartedness into their game. Max Homa is one such golfer who regularly channels his comic side on social media platforms. His amusing skirmish with LIV Golf’s Cleeks GC in January had fans chuckling. Another player known for his wit is Xander Schauffele, who left golf enthusiasts in peals of laughter during an impromptu interview he conducted with Scottie Scheffler at the St Jude Championship press conference.
In the midst of such jesters, Joel Dahmen also emerges with his well-known softer side. A household name after his appearance in Netflix’s Full Swing’s second season, Dahmen had a rather modest reputation on the Tour before the show. However, his popularity among fans has skyrocketed since then. Despite barely retaining his Tour card in 2024, the 37-year-old has kicked off the new season on a promising note.
Dahmen, a constant presence on social media, conducted a Q&A session on a recent Monday evening. Responding to a fan’s inquiry about the funniest golfer on the PGA Tour, Dahmen nominated Mark Hubbard. Hubbard, who has participated in seven events in 2025 and secured the 12th position at the Sony Open, has unfortunately missed three consecutive cuts.
In the same Q&A session, Dahmen advocated for Mesa Country Club in Arizona to host a major championship. This assertion came as a surprise to many, sparking lively debates among followers.
As for Dahmen’s performance in the 2025 PGA Tour, he managed to hold onto his PGA Tour card at the RSM Classic and has since made three out of six cuts. His best showing came during the Mexico Open where he finished tied for the sixth spot and bagged $245,000. He also secured a place in the top ten at the Farmers Insurance Open, adding another $225,000 to his earnings.
Despite his commendable performance, Dahmen didn’t hold back from criticizing the PGA National’s setup on the first day of the tournament. He expressed relief when the course increased in difficulty over the weekend. This culminated in Joe Highsmith clinching his first PGA Tour win with a score of 19 under, having made the cut on the number.
Joel Dahmen’s journey in the PGA Tour continues to intrigue fans and fellow players alike. His unique mix of humor and skill keeps him in the spotlight, both on and off the course.
