Paige Spiranac’s PGA Tour prediction proves spot on as rising star impresses at The Players.

Min Woo Lee has surged to the top of The Players Championship leaderboard at TPC Sawgrass, sharing the lead with Akshay Bhatia. The Australian’s impressive second-round 66 propelled him to 11 under par, reinforcing golf analyst Paige Spiranac’s earlier prediction that he would be a rising star in 2025.

Spiranac, a well-known golf personality with millions of social media followers, named Lee as a player to watch during a pre-Super Bowl interview. Her prediction appears spot on, as the 26-year-old, already a three-time DP World Tour winner, now stands on the brink of his first PGA Tour victory in one of the sport’s most prestigious events.

Despite his strong position, Lee faces tough competition as the tournament nears its final rounds. J.J. Spaun is just one shot behind, while major champions Rory McIlroy and Collin Morikawa are in close pursuit at nine under par. With momentum on his side, Lee has a golden opportunity to turn Spiranac’s foresight into reality.
