The future of golf is in the hands of some pretty competent young golfers.
The “under 25-year-olds” are proving week after week that the next few years on the PGA Tour are going to be pretty exciting! John Strege of Golf Digest’s “The Loop” gives us the inside story on golf’s youth and what to expect in the future.
It is a mistake to use television ratings as the sole arbiter in evaluating the strength of the game. Tiger Woods still piques the interest of Nielsen families. So do the Kardashians. So what?
Here’s a better metric: Since golf breathlessly awaited Tiger’s return at Augusta National, Jordan Spieth has won the Masters, Rory McIlroy has won the WGC-Cadillac Match Play and, on Sunday, the Wells Fargo Championship by seven, and Rickie Fowler won the Players Championship.
Justin Thomas, Daniel Berger and now Patrick Rodgers, meanwhile, are all 22, potential stars and already asserting themselves. Patrick Reed is 24 and a four-time winner. “I think the amazing thing about this group of players is that we’ve come on tour and we’ve been ready to win from the start,” McIlroy said last week. “Jordan wins his first major at 21. Rickie got his first win here as I did, but he really elevated the status with that win last week [at the Players]. Patrick Reed as well.“A lot of guys have come out here and it hasn’t taken them long how to learn how to win. We don’t play maybe with as much fear.”
