Will Collin Morikawa reach number 1 OWGR in 2022?

[khalespace]

This week with another top 10 finish Collin has surpassed DJ. Will he reach the number 1 ranking in OWGR.

[TM4me]

Was going to post something similar.  My belief is yes he will become #1 in 2022 or early 2023 at the latest.

Not sure why anyone voted “no”, he’s #2 now!

No Tiger Woods will comeback and win all 4 majors in 2022 along with 3 other tournaments propelling him to number 1 in the world.

What I’m talkin bout!

 

[TiScape]

I’m still waiting for my crystal ball 🔮 to tell me how many championships Langer would have won without the broomstick 🧹 putter. I’ll get back to you. 

[Ferguson]

Will Zalatoris will probably be #2 by the MLB All-Star break. 

[3whacker]

I think I will wait and see how many majors Sam Burns is projected to win next year

 

or if Kevin Na will surpass certain players in career earnings

 

but really looking forward to 2nd guessing who will be the Captain's picks for team America in the President's Cup

It is all dependent on whether Rahm returns to his form from most of last season.

Agree. Rahmbo will out up a fight.  
 

but in the end who cares ? World number 1 in itself is meaningless anymore.  Sure it shows up to be top 5.  But unless you hold number one for a year or more , it’s doesn’t say much more than top 5.  .  Not to me.

How many green jackets does Morikawa win?

His accuracy is a bigger advantage at the other majors than at Augusta.  However I do believe he will win a green jacket, maybe multiple jackets.

I wonder if he is working with a putting specialist or just Rick Sessinghaus? He seems to struggle on the greens at Augusta. Who is the best putting coach out there?

Mark O'Meara helped him with his current 'saw" putting grip but no sure if you could call him Morikawa's putting coach.

There are exceptions but the masters seems to be a tournaments where experience counts.

 

You get guys like Phil, Adam Scott, Bubba, Angel, Sergio, DJ

 

Where it seems the cumulative experience in general and playing Augusta a lot delivers a win. 
 

But the green jacket evades guys who are smoking hot at any given time like BK, BD, Rory, JT. 
 

Augusta is a total minefield on Sunday. The realization that their childhood dream is within grasp gets to them. The course turns against them. 
 

Guys will be rolling along then….they hit unexplained shanks, water balls. And they are toast. 

 

Pressure cooker on a different level.

True, especially with the advantage of course knowledge.  It has a surprising number of first-time major winners, though, especially when you consider it's a small field with many past champions.  Sometimes less experience means fewer bad memories, Spieth may agree.

I’m not a fan of his rollercoaster climb backswing, gives me anxiety. But the downswing is nice. 
 

seems like a generation where world #1 will be a revolving door. 

[80sFredriksson]

I think Rahm will hold on to it

[mat562]

I believe he will, yes.

I don't understand your comment on the "rollercoaster" backswing. His backswing is slow and smooth but other than that I don't see any issue.

It depends on his putter at the end of the day.

 

I would love if he started winning more with the long putter just to give everyone sh!t.

[Vardon Grip]

If Jay Don Blake gets the flat stick to work Collin has no chance.

[80sFredriksson]

If he does it today I guess my vote for no still holds? 😁

[TiScape]

Okay, after reading more from the WRXers, I voted no. He can’t putt and doesn’t have the ball speed! 🙃😜

[puttingmatt]

 Morikawa will reach number 1  ,

Just a question of what week 

 

 

[oz dee cee]

Isn’t golf a funny sport. Who’d of thought Collin would let a five shot lead go? And on that course…

 

Too early to start a, “What up with Collin?” thread???

I think he will make it to number #1. Watching him for a while now. He is very accurate, no real weaknesses in his game, and extremely efficient (very few wasted shots like Tiger). In my opinion, right now he is the most efficient player on the PGA tour. He has all the shots in his long game and short game. However, never thought he would be this good because his game never struck me as phenomenal and also is a pretty short hitter.
