There will be yet more LIV drama, with the possibility of others going across to the fledgling circuit.
We'll also see what an 'elevated event' looks like on the PGA Tour, and if there are any developments in the American circuit's strategic alliance with the DP World Tour. And, excitingly, alongside the Majors we have both a Ryder and Solheim Cup to look forward to. I can't wait!
Before I get going on my start-of-year predictions, I want to talk about a few players I think will be making headlines in 2023.
Adrian Meronk finished the year in 50th place on the Official World Golf Ranking and it was a massive campaign for the Pole.
He won his first DP World Tour title at the Irish Open and then held off Adam Scott, one of my country's most famous golfing sons, in the Australian Open.
Those wins will hold him in unbelievable stead going forward and I expect him to make a push for the European Ryder Cup team.
