I was being sarcastic but he played 3 rounds last week at the Travelers before he MDF. I'm sure he'll be OK.

Followed him at travelers 18 holes 2 days . Hits the ball solid. Through away some shots . Could of easily been in contention

That sounds like every guy playing on the Web Tour who got a shot on the PGA Tour.

Looks like the top Cowboy may end up being Hovland.

Talent and experience go a long way.

Ok GG - I actually found a prov out in Massachusetts that said the man the myth the legend funny!

 

On his teachings - he loves the computer or trackman/flightscope with that being said these two devices have made liars out of some teachers !! In his videos he is a strong advocate for balance in order for the player to deliver the club with leverage. I agree with an earlier post about a lot of moving parts and he will have to stay healthy to achieve leverage and balance. However, this kid and GG are going to be winners on tour!

It makes him popular, but that doesn’t make him great. His college career was fine, but he didn’t beat any veteran players at amateur events like the US Am, Sunnehana, Western Am, etc. I’ll say he’s a Ryan Moore type career with 6-8ish wins by the time he retires lavishly.

Not to get sidetracked, but are you sure about this? I see that he has only made about $215,000 in earnings thus far.

He's probably sure about it, but he's also wrong.

[Wesquire]

I think Hovland will have a far better career. Wolff does not appear to be as sharp.

Nike and Taylormade dropping a couple of the biggest rookie contracts ever on Wolff seem to disagree.

He'll make them a lot of money, but I think Hovland will win multiple majors.

I read he got a contact with them, which most pros do but I didn't see it was the biggest rookie contract ever? Hovland is older and more mature which is why he is doing better most likely. Wollf is still pretty wet behind the ears, didn't he only finish sophomore year? Anyway, I'll be able to watch both them play next week at the john deere

[Pbo1980]

Looks pretty good this week

He got rid of Rory mcilroy old caddie JP Fitzgerald. With someone new this week

Rors won without him looks like Matt might do the same

[powerpushfade]

Good to see Gankas I’d stealing the a-swing from Leadbetter.

A swing came out in 2015. You think Wolff has only been playing golf for 4 years?

My point was everybody was ripping Leadbetter about it. Now everyone will be looking into it.

From after round interview, he said past few weeks he had been too strategic in his playing whereas in college he didn’t play that way. I’m thinking the caddy might of had something to do with that.

Hardest thing is to trust your feels when jumping i to the unknown and the other party has far more experience than you. The experience of such a partnership is that it should enhance the instincts of the player not snuff them out.

[BiggErn]

Poor Bryson ?. Good job Matthew Wolff. I’m sure you will still have plenty of haters on here though.

[pinhigh27]

31 on the back 9. what a killer

[golfandfishing]

That was one studly putt on 18 to put away Bryson. Congrats to him!

Apparently I’m a moron.

[DFinch]

Clutch win.

 

[rainkingjr]

I love his swing. He'll never get stuck swinging that way. Can't wait to go to the range to see a bunch of guys trying to replicate it.

[DFinch]

I think if I can replicate that backswing, but add DJ's left wrist flexion and Sergio's lag, I'll be good to go.

Don't forget Bubba's footwork on the follow through.

I’m glad you were wrong. This kid is exciting to watch. ?

Apparently very good
