He was considered the finest player without a major for several years — finishing second in majors multiple times before winning the PGA Championship in 2024 and then The Open Championship two months later. His ball-striking statistics consistently place him among the tour's best. He is the most internationally representative player in terms of heritage on the PGA Tour.
