His swing has held up in plenty of high pressure situations and his game stood out when he stuck with his normal approach vice the approach JP tried to get him to take. His swing has similar attributes to many great players from the past and no one talks about how their swing didn’t hold up. Dude owns his swing and his game, he has a coach that knows his game and swing and can get him worked out.

 

Couple tourney wins here or there puts him into top 25 type player...not exactly average

Because he’s an absolute stud. I’d buy that stock right now zero questions asked.

Because of his junior record - whilst he might not have a Matthew Wolff-esque winning start to life on Tour, I firmly believe he'll become a top, top player - you obviously disagree and/or haven't looked into him enough to argue

He's played 1 tour event and missed the cut.

Yes, I disagree, and I've seen him play in person, my friends and colleagues have caddied for him, I know way more about him then you do I assure you.

To compare him to Hovland and Wolff is insane...2 are proven, the other 1 has not played a college event, never will and hasn't made a cut on the PGA Tour and won't this season.

Talk about it. Nothing against this kid, but he knows he has a lot to learn as well. He's skipping college so he can learn quicker in pro tours. It's controversial as it's very competitive in pro golf. You have top college golfers struggling in the minors. He's a stud junior, but hasn't proven anything beyond that. Many juniors have fallen off. Even the best amateurs might not make it on tour. It's just not guaranteed. Hovland and Wolff have definitely shown that they have honed their games to where they belong here. Bhatia while very talented is still a ways off.

Niemann was a top amateur for a long while. He's accomplished way more than Bhatia has and has struggled to his standards. These guys who aren't doing well on tour are basically geniuses with the club and we'd all drool when watching them play. It's a tough world out there.

How old is he - 17 or something? He has a couple years at least on the other three, so perhaps too early to pass any sort of judgement - I was just indicating he's viewed as a player with great promise; and would be willing to wager he will achieve more than Niemann throughout his career. > @OutBackHack said:

Lots of golfers with high promise not on the pga tour. Same for lots of other sports. Projections, promise, hype only goes so far.
