I didn't think as much at the time, but the stair incident really derailed DJ's season.

I agree. Matsuyama has 3 wins, 2 of which were WCGs.

 

I'd put Sergio and Koepka tied at 4 and JT and his 3 wins just a hair behind in 5th.

Yeah, I gave Koepka the slight edge due to secondary factors - I didn't look that closely, but when I checked he'd made quite a bit more money.

3 premium wins (like DJ and Hideki) beats a solo major, but JT's 3 weaker wins doesn't, IMO.

I just know every player not named Hideki had better prepare his answers to questions from the Japanese media about whether he thinks Hideki will win the PGA, before the first round.

Hidecki also won/defended @ The Waste Management Open (Phoenix) and for good measure also won Tigers Hero Challenge. While an unofficial event it awarded higher OWGR points than his two wins in Japan.

Good points. I don't are about the zero world challenge, but Hideki has 5 real wins this season and three seconds including the US Open. So I agree with putting him ahead of DJ.
