🎯 Keith Mitchell in 2025: The Southern Gentleman with a Swing and Swagger
“Cashmere” Keith Mitchell, the suave Georgian with a penchant for fast cars and faster swings, has been turning heads on the PGA Tour in 2025. Known for his aggressive playstyle and impeccable fashion sense, Mitchell's season has been a rollercoaster of near-misses and record-breaking rounds.
The Season So Far: A Mix of Highs and Lows
Mitchell kicked off the year with a T30 finish at the Sony Open in Hawaii, followed by a T21 at The American Express. His performance at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am saw him tie for 33rd, and he continued with a T25 at the WM Phoenix Open.
However, inconsistency has been a theme. A missed cut at THE PLAYERS Championship and a T54 at the Valspar Championship highlighted the challenges he's faced. Despite this, a T18 at the Texas Children's Houston Open and a T12 at the Valero Texas Open showcased his resilience.
The highlight of his season came at the Corales Puntacana Championship, where he tied for 2nd, narrowly missing out on the title.
Breaking Records at the Truist Championship
Mitchell made headlines at the inaugural Truist Championship by shooting a career-best 9-under 61, shattering the course record at the Philadelphia Cricket Club's Wissahickon Course. This performance not only gave him the lead but also showcased his ability to dominate when everything clicks.
