Golf Undigested Golf Rankings – Volume 1
1. Dustin Johnson – The most Athletic golfer of his generation. He adds another major this year.
2. Hideki Matsuyama – Finally figuring out how good he can be, still only 24 and a major win on the horizon.
3. Rory McIlroy – Always a contender anytime he tees it up, however, I don’t think he wins a major this year.
4. Jordan Spieth – The Texan is going to have a monster year and return to the No. 1 player in the world.
5. Patrick Reed – Brass Balls! He needs to win more and use his Ryder Cup domination in a positive, but not cocky way.
6. Henrik Stenson – The best ball-striker in the world! His putting hold him back.
7. Adam Scott – Second best ball-striker on the planet. He can dominate for multiple weeks when he gets hot.
8. Alex Noren – Former Oklahoma State product, the Swede won four times on the European Tour last year.
9. Sergio Garcia – He’s always in the mix because he’s solid as a rock in all phases of the game.
10. Jason Day – I have the No. 1 player in the world as my No. 10. He’s always hurt or sick and his back is a real concern heading forward.
Just Misses!
Brooks Koepka – Hits it a mile and his recent success at the Ryder Cup will go a long ways. Big Year!
Rickie Fowler – Always in the mix, but needs to win more to be truly elite.
Look Out!
Tiger Woods – still ranked in the 600’s, I’m curious to see how far he climbs by the end of the season
Jon Rahm – He already is ranked No. 137. He will win this year and spring into the top 50.
