Ben Griffin just had the best season of his career. There was a time he had to step away from the sport because it was not financially viable for him to stick around. But in 2025, he earned over $11.7 million. That included three PGA Tour title wins, the second most after Scottie Scheffler. And after the season he’s had, one might think he would be too ‘exhausting’ to keep going on. But his caddie revealed that Griffin just never gets enough of the fairway.

Alex Ritthamel joined SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio’s Caddie Corner to talk about his boss. During the interview, he gave a glimpse at what Griffin’s schedule has looked like since his debut: “His rookie year was 2022-23, and that was the last wrap-around year. So it was the big double season [that included] both falls. We played 39 events from September ’22 to November ’23. It played well. But then in 2024, we played 38 events in last year’s calendar year.”

Griffin has always enjoyed playing a heavy schedule. Especially when he had not won any titles yet, he was giving himself every opportunity to succeed on the PGA Tour. Especially the runner-up finish in the 2024 RBC Canadian Open would have encouraged him to push even harder.

However, the 29-year-old hasn’t been as aggressive with his efforts since claiming his first win in 2025. “This year we played 32 plus the Ryder Cup. We played less. It seems like more because being in the mix so much, mentally, it’s exhausting.” Apart from winning three titles this year, Griffin has also had two runner-up finishes and seven other top-7 runs in 2025. That has put the spotlight on him a lot more often this season. But just because he is now a three-time champion doesn’t mean he’s planning to slow down.

“We talked about the schedule last week. We looked at it. As of now, the plan is to play nine of the first ten. We’re going to skip Torrey [Pines]. We’re going to play everything from Sony to Tampa. You take a couple of weeks, if you want. Then you play Augusta through the PGA. That’s six in a row. This sounds crazy, but I didn’t know they were going to have two weeks off before the playoffs. Maybe two weeks before Augusta. That might be it. He really enjoys playing golf.”

It seems that Ben Griffin is planning to appear in nearly every tournament from the Sony Open from January 15th to 18th, to The PLAYERS Championship from March 12th to 15th in 2026. The only event he might skip is the Farmers Insurance Open that will occur at the end of January. Interestingly, Griffin played all ten tournaments in 2025, which shows that he is very much capable of playing for 10 weeks in a row. In fact, he only stopped his streak of consecutive events after the 2025 Valero Texas Open in the first week of April. But with a spot in the Masters Tournament field confirmed, Griffin might not take that risk next season.

That being said, with a hectic schedule, Ben Griffin gets loads of opportunities to experiment on the fairway. And recently, he tried to change a few things in his kit. Let’s see what he did and how it worked out.

While playing the World Wide Technology Championship, Ben Griffin didn’t think he would be competing for the title. That’s because he was going in with a different set of equipment. Before the event, he was using the Scotty Cameron Newport 2 putter to help him on the green. However, he shifted to the TaylorMade Spider Tour X Black at the El Cardonal Golf Course. And that helped him turn things around in Mexico.

He was sitting 2 strokes behind Garrick Higgo after 54 holes. But a magnificent 9-under 63 in the final round was enough for him to win the 2025 World Wide Technology Championship by 2 strokes. Throughout the tournament, Griffin’s work on the green stood out and apart from his excellent iron play. To deliver such a remarkable performance in his 30th tournament of the season shows how much fuel Ben Griffin still has left in his tank. Maybe it’s not as exhausting for him as it might look on paper.
