Next week, the PGA Tour will host its first game of 2022, the Sentinel Championship.
So, which players on the field are worth paying attention to in the coming year? We selected 10 players (in no particular order), ranging from experienced veterans to newcomers who are just starting out. How will they perform in the new year? Let's wait and see!
(The most anticipated player on the PGA Tour in 2022)
Colin Morikawa – The future is unstoppable
(Morikawa misses the opportunity to reach the top of the world at the Heroes World Challenge)
In the final round of the Heroes World Challenge, a double bogey was played, and the champion was missed, while missing the opportunity to reach the top of the world. Even so, Morikawa's performance is still remarkable.
(Star Perspective – Morikawa: I always create opportunities to ascend to the throne!) ）
After winning the World Championship-Weekday Championship, he became the second player after Tiger to win both the World Championship and the Grand Slam championship before the age of 25; won the British Open to win his second grand slam; and won the DP World Tour, becoming the first American to win the Dubai Race.
The future of the 24-year-old is bound to be promising!
Jordan Spieth – Looking for more breakthroughs
(Spieth finally broke the championship drought in 2021)
Is it a comeback in all directions, or is it a flash in the pan, or is it something that goes somewhere in between? Although Spieth ended a nearly four-year championship drought in 2021, the future is still full of unknowns.
(Star Perspective – Spieth: Adjust yourself and regain your confidence!) ）
In the past year, Spieth has one more identity — father, and he and his wife have their first child. Perhaps the change of role will also allow him to re-examine the golf he loves from a different perspective.
Looking forward to more breakthroughs in the new year!
Patrick Cantley – "The Iceman" is ready to go
(Calm performance in the playoffs earned Kantley the title of "Iceman")
Perhaps the biggest gain for Cantley over the past year has not been winning the FedEx Cup overall, but consolidating popularity among fans and earning a new nickname – the Iceman.
As a former college star player, Cantelli has always carried the label of "potential". This time, he proved himself with a championship. If he can maintain good competitive form, he is expected to become the first player in history to win a back-to-back FedEx Cup championship.
Rory McIlroy – Be a better version of yourself
(Wheat wins 20 PGA Tour titles at Sieja Cup @ Summit)
After the Ryder Cup defeat to The Usa, Wheat was pleasantly surprised to win a personal PGA Tour 20 crown at the Hijay Cup @ Summit, which was a metamorphosis for him.
(Wheat swing slow motion)
"It's enough to be myself!" Maybe for the past few months, I've been experimenting and figuring out how I play. I know that when I play to my strengths, I can win more championships and become the best player in the world. Wheat said.
Could this self-awakening make him the first triple crown in fedex cup history? Let's look forward to it!
Pearson Cudy – Tomorrow's Star
(Pearson Coudy became the world's number one amateur player last April.)
If you're unfamiliar with the name Pearson Coudy, you probably know his grandfather Charles Coudy. The elder Kudi won the Masters in 1971 with a two-stroke victory over Jack Nicklaus and Johnny Miller.
Pearson became the world's number one amateur player last April, currently number two on the PGA Tour college standings, and will play out on the Korn Ferry Tour if he turns pro this summer. If you like to follow the future stars of golf, this is definitely a name worth paying attention to.
Who are you most looking forward to in 2022?
