Rory Asselta: 2025 NJ Boys Golfer of the Year

Rory Asselta - the 2025 NJ Boys Golfer of the Year - joins the show after a freshman season that rewrote New Jersey golf history. Representing St. Joseph (Mont.), Rory captured the Garden State Cup, the FDU Invitational, and the NJSIAA Tournament of Champions, where he fired a jaw-dropping 64 to seal both team and individual titles. He then took his game national, shooting 65-66-69 to win the PGA High School Golf National Invitational at Pinehurst at -16, earning WAGR’s 2025 New Jersey Player of the Year honors. We dive into his mindset, preparation, and what drives one of the country’s top young golfers as he balances school, team golf, and national attention - all before sophomore year.

The episode also explores the wider Garden State scene - the junior programs shaping the next wave, tournament momentum across the state, and how New Jersey keeps producing elite-level amateurs ready for college and beyond. Whether you’re a coach, competitor, or golf-obsessed fan, this is a front-row seat to a rising star redefining what’s possible in high-school golf.
