FULL-MEMBERSHIP RANKINGS: Intro | 1-50 | 101-150 | 151-200 | 201-222 | Cheat sheet

NOTE: All of the golfers ranked include ages as of Jan. 2, 2025, 2024 earnings (“salary”) and levels of status on the PGA TOUR. An asterisk beside a salary value indicates that a golfer is a bargain.

Rank	Player	Age	2023-24 earnings	Status	Comment
51	Cam Davis	29	4.039M	Top 50	The unexpected win at the Rocket Mortgage Classic was a highlight on a short list of them in 2024, but it’s also evidence of his proven firepower. Regression on approach is a concern but he’ll be fine.
52	Denny McCarthy	31	4.022M	Top 50	Have putter, will thrive. Just keeps on keepin’ on. Despite a mild downtick in overall production in 2024, he hasn’t exhausted any equity as it concerns our expectations, but we’d all love that first victory.
53	Matthieu Pavon	32	5.254M	Top 30	While 2024 was wildly successful, perhaps it took a toll on the Rookie of the Year candidate because the bubble seemed to have burst in the second half. Still, never let guys who can play anywhere slide too far.
54	Christiaan Bezuidenhout	30	5.026M	Top 30	Now equipped with a carte-blanche schedule, the South African is positioned to be a difference-maker. That’s valuable to all gamers but veterans among us need more from him to justify an early call.
55	Nicolai Højgaard	23	1.741M*	Top 125	Settled on 18 starts as a first-time PGA TOUR member. A repeat would be a headwind akin to past European moonlighters, but his brother, Rasmus, will be joining him in 2025, and that generates intrigue.
56	Keegan Bradley	38	6.879M	Top 30	Because focus as captain for the Ryder Cup in 2025 will rise as a priority throughout the season, he’s going to be a guinea pig in the context of long-term value as a top player. Prepare for the trap.
57	Mark Hubbard	35	2.757M	Top 70	Piggybacked a strong 2022-23 with an even more efficient 2024. Also eclipsed 150 career cuts made to secure Veteran Membership down the road, so all that’s missing is a victory. Play him early and often.
58	Eric Cole	36	3.726M	Top 50	The 2022 Rookie of the Year failed to podium (after four of them in 2022-23) but he’s equipped to keep the rally rolling at his age. If you feel like you’ve reached, he’ll prove otherwise to you. So valuable.
59	Rasmus Højgaard	23	172K*	DPWT (Rookie)	The No. 1 from his circuit slots in his own category, so he’s not subject to reorders. Five wins on the DP World Tour. The Dane checks all of the boxes. Joins brother Nicolai on the PGA TOUR.
60	Erik van Rooyen	34	2.572M*	Top 70	Answered the bell as projections defined before injury interrupted his flow a couple of years ago. Nails across the last 16 months. Exciting performer and in his prime. Just outside the top tier of talent.
61	Daniel Berger	31	1.665M*	Top 125	Fair to say that he utilized the full docket to eliminate any residual doubt about his back and reconnect with the kind of form for which he’s known. Poised for a distinct revival as he turns the next page.
62	Kurt Kitayama	31	2.474M	Top 125	If he played more, he’d be a high-round draft pick, but he’s ranged from just 23-25 starts in his first three seasons. The twist is that he missed only four cuts in 2024 for a significant shift toward consistency.
63	Keith Mitchell	32	2.340M*	Top 125	Still waiting for him to walk to the first tee of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans with Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir” blaring. The long-hitting ball-striker is a cinch to keep making noise as he settles into his prime.
64	Beau Hossler	29	2.607M	Top 125	It’s fairer to assess his last two seasons as a whole because they represent a departure into an ascent. In his last 62 starts, he’s posted eight top 10s and another 16 top 25s. He’s evolved into a reliable weapon.
65	Seamus Power	37	3.033M	Top 70	A sore back ended his year at Sea Island but he responded from last year’s injured right hip with another 10 top 25s among a career-best 21 paydays. The Irishman is a reliable contributor with a potent upside.
66	Stephan Jaeger	35	4.732M	Top 50	Reached the summit in his prime with a win among four podium finishes. He was all but silent after breaking through in Houston, so there’s some concern for an extended letdown as he enjoys the view.
67	Andrew Novak	29	2.507M	Top 125	Delivered on higher expectations and then some. Five top 10s, 13th in greens hit, 14th in adjusted scoring, T3 in par scoring, etc. The parts already were impressive but now the sum has shone. No letup.
68	Max McGreevy	29	189K*	KFT	Back on the PGA TOUR arguably with more momentum than any other KFT grad, Matt McCarty included. McGreevy was lights-out throughout 2024 with three wins, including the Dunlop Phoenix in November.
69	Michael Thorbjornsen	23	1.281M*	PG ATOUR U	The 2024 valedictorian of PGA TOUR University wrangled three top 10s in 11 starts and eliminated residual doubt about his previous health concerns. Ingredients of a game-changer. Opens in the reorder.
70	Harry Hall	27	1.779M*	Top 125	The breakthrough winner of the five-way playoff at the ISCO Championship kept the pedal down for a fall flourish. Considerable upside with a scorer’s mentality most valuable in shootouts. Lots to love.
71	Patrick Fishburn	32	1.928M*	Top 125	Only Scheffler graded as a better ball-striker, but Fishburn led the PGA TOUR in greens hit. Did the same on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2023. Ideally positioned in his prime to pile on as a sophomore.
72	Adam Hadwin	37	4.052M	Top 50	Maybe the quietest inside the top 50 of the FedExCup perhaps because he had zero top 25s in his last 10 starts. Analytics also were regressive and potentially of concern. Still will get ample chances on big stages.
73	Taylor Moore	31	2.843M*	Top 70	He’s the average scorer on par 3s, par 4s and par 5s. It speaks to below-average control on approach in comparison to the rest of his game. Yet, he’s still dynamic and reliable. A powder keg of potential.
74	Patrick Rodgers	32	3.247M	Top 70	His considerable success is overshadowed by the fact that he’s still a non-winner, but now he’s fresh off his best season. If insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result, we’ll embrace the insanity.
75	Matt McCarty	27	1.366M*	Top 125	After a bonanza of a three-month stretch with four wins, it’s improbable for the lefty to exceed additional hype, so reset expectations based on a newcomer poised to take punches. But he’s going to make noise.
76	Rico Hoey	29	1.792M*	Top 125	After leading the Korn Ferry Tour in Total Driving in 2023, he did the same during an end-loaded rookie season on the PGA TOUR. Compelling and worth an earlier call in draft leagues. Enjoy the ride.
77	Jake Knapp	30	3.102M	Top 70	Peaked with his breakthrough victory in just his fifth start as a member but logged a suspiciously quiet second half and played just once in the FedExCup Fall to tumble outside the first Aon Next 10 for 2025. Careful.
78	Emiliano Grillo	32	2.355M	Top 70	The Argentine returned to the less-is-more schedule that defined his success early in his PGA TOUR career. Made only 23 starts but cashed in 20 of them. Improved putting has paid off top-shelf ball-striking.
79	Sam Stevens	28	1.701M*	Top 125	He checks so many boxes for an incoming junior that it’s hard to believe his salary value despite four top 10s and another six top 25s among 25 cuts made. Putting vastly improved. He’ll go to work for you.
80	Aldrich Potgieter	20	--	KFT (Rookie)	Inconsistent and explosive. The South African might lead the PGA TOUR in Driving Distance but he’s a winner. Youngest with a KFT title and second-youngest to win the British Amateur. Won’t slide in drafts.
81	Thriston Lawrence	28	896K*	DPWT (Rookie)	The South African was the only non-member to achieve Special Temporary Membership in 2024, but he didn’t accept. Didn’t need to because here he is. Four-time DP World Tour winner. Built for this.
82	Chan Kim	34	1.405M*	Top 125	Hit his projected bull’s-eye as a first-time member in 2024 with three top 10s among 19 paydays. Exceptional ball-striking and worldwide success are forever. Now knows PGA TOUR greens and in his prime.
83	Rickie Fowler	36	1.767M	Top 125	It’s crazy that he’s made the turn as a 30-something. The extended 2022-23 season now seems like a mirage but the occasional threat for something special always hovers. Closed 2024 with solo fourth at ZOZO!
84	J.J. Spaun	34	1.645M*	Top 125	The talent that we thought that we knew didn’t resurface in earnest until the second half and after many owners were forced to bail. Now he’s on sale with momentum once again and in his prime.
85	Ryo Hisatsune	22	1.637M*	Top 125	The 2023 DP World Tour Rookie of the Year got the job done in 2024. While his youth must be respected, it also generates excitement for so much more. Ranked ninth in final-round scoring (17 paydays).
86	Victor Perez	32	2.068M	Top 70	The Frenchman endeared himself to fans and fantasy gamers alike in his first spin with membership, so hope remains high. The rub is that he made only 22 starts before returning to his home circuit in the fall.
87	Justin Rose	44	3.058M	Top 70	The wily veteran never disappoints in the long-term despite fear rooted in a light schedule. Short-term considerations can be aggravating but sharpen focus for the majors in which he continues to contribute.
88	Jacob Bridgeman	25	1.250M*	Top 125	The only golfer inside the top 125 of the FedExCup without a top 10 tallied 10 top 25s instead, and he won’t be shut out again as a sophomore in 2025. Pounce on the promise and with confidence.
89	Lee Hodges	29	2.479M	Top 125	Gets the most out of his skill as a tee-to-green tactician. That slots him more as a top-25 producer (when the putter cooperates) and a cheaper value on tracks when par is a good score. Continues to play a ton.
90	Steven Fisk	27	20K*	KFT (Rookie)	Averaged almost 14 greens in regulation per round to lead the KFT. Also No. 1 in ball-striking en route to a win and another four podiums. All things Peach State, made PGA TOUR debut at The RSM Classic.
91	Brendon Todd	39	2.461M	Top 70	Although post-prime, he’s a junior Matt Kuchar relative to age. Never the sexiest pick of the litter but cashes consistently with sensational accuracy off the tee and with the putter. Zero worries again this season.
92	Lucas Glover	45	2.876M	Top 125	Who he’s been in his 40s is more than who he was en route to putting on display in his 30s, but we’ll take it now. Still a sharpshooter from tee to green who shows and cashes more often than he needs to.
93	Mac Meissner	25	1.456M*	To p 125	Made it look too easy in his rookie season with three top 10s among 10 top 25s. Brilliant tee to green and 40th in adjusted scoring. And all of that was after a sluggish start. Yet, he’s still a sleeper for some.
94	Ryan Gerard	25	120K*	KFT	Cut some teeth via Special Temporary Membership and made 22 starts on the 2022-23 PGA TOUR, but the UNC product got his polish on the KFT in 2024. Will rise seamlessly. Balanced scorer. Invest with confidence.
95	Doug Ghim	28	2.435M	Top 125	Don’t play darts with this guy. Among the most underrated on the board and getting better. Finished 14th in finding fairways, fourth in greens hit and T4 in proximity in 2024. Also 24th in adjusted scoring.
96	Matti Schmid	27	1.646M*	Top 125	The German already jumps off the page statistically but now he’s met us halfway with production. His gentle rise over time is the preferred option as he enters his third season. Ingredients for a breakout.
97	Frankie Capan III	25	72K*	KFT (Rookie)	You’re not the only gamer in the know, so don’t hesitate. Seven top 10s included a win and two seconds. Spun a 58 in April. Ranked T7 in scoring and 10th in the all-around. Also No. 1 in par-5 scoring.
98	Sami Välimäki	26	1.273M*	Top 125	The former Rookie of the Year on the DP World Tour (2020) didn’t crash the PGA TOUR’s ROY ballot this year, but he overcame the steep learning curve. Expect the quick study to step up as a sophomore.
99	Andrew Putnam	35	2.054M	Top 125	Based on the majority of how he presents on paper, he should be contending often, but he’s more of a scrambler than he is a scorer despite glowing putting metrics. Middle-of-the-roster target.
100	Kevin Yu	26	3.285M	Top 125	The worst-kept secret among the best iron players showcased it all en route to his breakthrough victory at the Sanderson Farms Championship. Totaled five top 10s and ranked T7 in par-5 scoring. Think he’s comfy?!
