Between 2020 and 2023, Colum Oraawa stood at top the golf world as the undisputed master of iron play. His surgical precision with approach shots made him one of the most feared players on the PGA Tour. By age 26, Moriawa had already racked up six PGA Tour victories, including two major championships. At just 23, he announced his arrival on golf’s biggest stage by winning the 2020 PGA Championship, sealed by a career-defining drive on the 16th hole at TPC Harding Park. The following year, he made history again at Royal St. George’s, winning the Open Championship on debut, a feat not accomplished since Ben Curtis in 2003. His 2021 strokes gained approach number of plus 1.170 led the entire PGA tour, confirming what many already knew. No one hit their irons better than Colin Morawa. Fast forward to October 12th, 2025. Standing at Yokohama Country Club after carding a sizzling eight under 63 in the final round of the Bayur Classic, Moriao wore a look of quiet frustration rather than celebration. mixed emotions, he admitted, “I’m really happy with eight under, but the way my game’s been trending, I probably would have signed for a four under.” Then came the telling confession that summed up his year. “This is my last tournament of the season, and I’ve got a lot of work to do,” he said. “It’s not really the way I wanted the year to end. 2025 had been a season of relentless experimentation and disappointment.” Moriawa tried almost everything to rediscover his winning formula, but nothing clicked. He went through five caddies in one season, a stunning shift that began with his April split from longtime partner JJ Jacovic. The man who had been by his side for all six of his PGA Tour victories. Joe Graer, known for his partnership with Max Homa, lasted just five events with a best finish of T17. Then came Billy Foster, who helped Matt Fitzpatrick capture the 2022 US Open. But even that pairing fell flat as Morawa missed back-to-back cuts at the Genesis Scottish Open and the Open Championship. Former college teammate KK Limhasset stepped in temporarily at the Rocket Classic before Mark took over for the FedEx Cup playoffs and remained until season’s end, chronicling Moriawa’s ongoing search for the right fit. The putter carousel was equally turbulent. Morawa ditched his trusted tailor made TP stood for a custom Logan Olsen blade at the Travelers Championship, but after admitting he puted like a blind man at the Rocket Classic, he switched mid-event to a tailor made spider mallet. By September’s Procore Championship, he was testing a center shafted Spyder Tour V Prototype. The result, zero wins, his longest drought since turning pro. His two runner-up finishes at the Century Tournament of Champions and the Arnold Palmer Invitational served only as reminders of how close he came to breaking through. Statistically, Moria’s season told a story of brilliance and heartbreak. He once again ranked first on tour in strokes gained, approach plus 1.190, and second overall in strokes gained, total plus 2.180. He even led the PGA Tour in par breakers at 28.01%. Yet his putting woes erased it all, ranking a dismal 135th in strokes gained, putting minus0.313. “One of my big goals is to stick with one putter and really feel confident,” Morau explained. “Today I felt great. I felt like if I got myself on the green, I could make any putt. I just need to find that feeling more often during the season. It was the tale of two games. A worldclass ball striker undone by the flat stick. His near miss at the Arnold Palmer Invitational said it all. Morawa led by three with five holes to play before Russell Henley’s late Eagle surge snatched victory away. Adding to his struggles were physical issues that affected his trademark shot shape. I got to get my body right so I can hit my cuts again. He said, “I know I played well today, but sometimes you can kind of fake it around golf courses. I don’t want to fake it. I want full control.” Still, Moriawa’s drive remains unddeinished. “Watching his peers thrive while he faltered only fueled his hunger. When I see how well the top guys are playing right now, it motivates me.” He said, “It’s going to be a fun couple of months heading into next year.” After a season of caddy changes, putter swaps, and near misses, Colin Morawa’s message was clear. The fire still burns, and he’s determined to turn disappointment into domination once again.
