Which modern tour player's swing is most similar to hogan?

Hogan's swing is beautiful but the videos of his swing are old with low FPS and hard to see. Any modern tour player with a swing most similar to Hogan that we can see with today's cameras?

Dufner is the only one I can think of?

I’ve heard Dufner numerous times but I don’t see it… 🤷‍♂️

It's mostly his waggle that reminds folks of Hogan.  But Dan Whittaker does a nice explanation of Hogan's influence on Dufner's swing.

Influenced for sure but it’s interesting that Dan didn’t do a direct comparison with the great man himself…. 🤷‍♂️

Jonathan Byrd?

Chad Campbell?

Chad steepens the club through transition, resulting in early extension and raised hands/shaft at impact.  The third photo shows a dramatic difference between Chad and Hogan in how they work the club with their wrists and forearms.  Also look at Chad's head position at address vs. impact - it is dropping but also moving back away from the ball (the other half of early extension: hips toward ball and head away).  From there he has no choice but to flip the club and roll the right hand over.

 

Hogan flattens through transition with that great sidearm throwing motion, and keeps rotating his body all the way through impact.  Look at Hogan's hips and spine angle at impact - no early extension, with hands and shaft covering the address position.  His head hasn't backed up, either, and it allows him to rip at the ball through impact without flipping the club face.

here's a gif showing address vs. impact.  completely different approach to striking the ball.

Yep, the only thing they really have in common is a flatish  backswing. I believe Hagen said he was playing his best right before the accident, he was more upright then too.  
 

I know they don’t have the same backswing, but through the ball Sergio is much closer.

Ha!  I agree, I was just working on some Sergio gifs - here ya go!

Sergio's shoulders aren't as flat as Hogan, maybe a bit more like Trevino

pretty amazing Sergio returns his hands and shaft plane just as at address.  not an exact copy of Hogan but close.

Sergio has the club more layed off than Hogan at the top, but flattens it properly during transition
