Which current golfer with zero or multiple majors currently, would have their career changed most by winning a/another major?

[BombinJim]

Jason Day

What about Bruce?

 

He is an interesting case for me. The guy has four majors, two Waste Managements, one WGC, and the CJ Cup. You would think a guy with 4 majors would be looked at in a greater light. Maybe it is just me but he is not a guy that when I see him on the entries list I think will contend.

 

Truthfully. for him he probably needs weekly results more than another major. You would think that he would have a career similar to Spieth.

 

I just can't view him as a top guy.

Agree, it's a weird career. Great results in majors and a few big tournaments, but in regular events you'd expect a player of that caliber to be beating up on easier courses and weaker fields, but....nothing.

Now we can see if DJ has it in him.

I’d say Kuchar or Charles Howell III. I mean, these guys have won like $50 million on tour and have never won a major. People hardly even think of them when they think of professional golf. It would have to change the way they’re viewed I would think

The answer is probably some complete unknown, to go from basically noone ever hearing of them to winning a major would be huge

Never been so far from one. He is barely in the top 100 and not really going anywhere, but still gets the media coverage and attention of a top 20. If he wasn't stereotyped as an American jock you wouldn't hear about him.

 

Which is why a major would be huge for him 😆

Carl Yuan.

 

Imagine the potential impact on Chinese golf.

Ben Curtis too.

Stewart Cink. His British Open win was totally overshadowed by Tom Watson.

He's having a massive resurgence too.

[cinnepa]

Kevin Na?

[MUNIGRIT]

Rickie BD Fowler?
