Happy new year legends and welcome back to the Kapalua Plantation Course. Hideki Matsuyama is off to a flyer in Hawaii in 2025. But Hideki isn’t just Japan’s golfing hero—he’s the king of clutch, the emperor of irons, and a man who can putt under pressure like it’s a Sunday stroll.
Born on February 25, 1992, in Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture (yes, he shares his name with his birthplace, which feels like destiny), Hideki has been carrying Japan’s golfing hopes since he turned professional in 2013.
And here’s the edgy bit: Hideki’s game is a puzzle for analysts. His ball striking? Elite. His short game? A mix of brilliance and heartbreak. His putting?
Let’s just say it’s a bit like karaoke—some days, he’s pitch-perfect; other days, it’s a struggle. But whether he’s draining 30-footers or battling the yips, Matsuyama’s steely determination makes him impossible to count out.
Can Hideki position himself for the win at the 2025 Sentry?
