It’s one thing to be hyped about the careers of Matthew Wolff and Viktor Hovland. It’s another thing to look at their results over the last few months and believe in their futures. But it’s an entirely other thing to dive deep into the data and see that it surpasses even your greatest optimism.
Wolff of course won the 3M Open earlier this summer and gained his PGA Tour card via that win. Hovland fell just shy of gaining his PGA Tour card, but it would be less surprising to me if Mike Gundy Instagrammed out the starting QB this afternoon than if Viktor Hovland was playing anywhere other than the PGA Tour next season after a three-tournament Korn Ferry Tour Finals run in which the top 25 in the standings earn their cards.
