What Players are Struggling the Most?

Our Power Rankings show who the top performing players are for the PGA, European, and LPGA Tours. But who are the players who are struggling the most?

The Power Rankings doesn’t just track the top players, but it tracks them all. To qualify for this list, the players will have had to play at least one round in the last two years on the PGA Tour, European Tour, or LPGA Tour. They get points based on how the perform, and then those points are used to generate the Power Index.

Gary Woodland Wins 2019 U.S. Open

Gary Woodland capped off a stellar week to hold off Brooks Koepka and win the 2019 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach. Both Woodland and Koepka shot all four rounds in the 60s.

There was a Canadian connection in this one, as Woodland’s caddy is Brennan Little of St. Thomas Ontario. Little was also the longtime caddy for Mike Weir and was on Weir’s bag at the 2003 Masters, making this his second major championship.
