Seven tournaments into the PGA TOUR season, we can now hit the pause button and take another snapshot at how the top 125 is taking shape. When you stop to consider what’s happened the last seven weeks, it’s really been a rather remarkable ride.
Dustin Johnson looked like a guy that was set to win five times the way he took down the field at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, but since then his performance has been uninspiring. That’s probably not a big deal in the long-term, as he should refocus in time for the meat of the schedule, but it’s been a bit maddening for gamers on a weekly basis. Considering this coincides with his budding romance with Paulina Gretzky, many gamers are drawing a parallel to the early days of Rory McIlroy’s current relationship.
Rookies Russell Henley and Scott Langley put on a show at the Sony Open, with Henley eventually winning. As expected with rookies, consistency has lacked for both of them since.
Brian Gay returned to the winner’s circle for the first time since 2009, winning the Humana Challenge in a playoff. Joining him in that playoff was David Lingmerth and Charles Howell III. CH3 had a great run to start the year and Lingmerth became a surprise among rookies.
Tiger won at Torrey. Shocker. Next.
Phil Mickelson was a lip-out away from a 59 in the Waste Management Phoenix Open first round, eventually winning convincingly. It was his only top 20 in an impossible-to-predict opening five tournaments.
The MVP of the West Coast Swing was easily Brandt Snedeker, following back-to-back runner-up finishes with a win at Pebble Beach. He cited a rib injury, didn’t play Riviera and isn’t in the WGC-Accenture Match Play. He’s gearing up for Augusta at this point and should be a factor in all of the majors this season.
John Merrick bested Charlie Beljan on the second playoff hole of the Northern Trust Open to claim his first PGA TOUR win. Perhaps we learned more about Beljan than we did Merrick. That is, Beljan looks the part of a guy who will miss a ton of cuts but the few weeks he shows up could be special.
Of note, there are several players who still haven’t played a TOUR event ahead of the WGC-Accenture Match Play, and a number of others who kicked off their season at Riviera CC last week. That’s put a number of guys in a holding pattern. I also stress that the difference between the 10th guy on the list and the 30th is a big one, but the difference between 80th and 100th is essentially a top 10 at the end of the year. If you’re debating between William McGirt in 82nd and Graham DeLaet in 84th, McGirt is ranked slightly higher but it’s a virtual tie.
Rank Golfer (Preseason Rank) Comment
1. Rory McIlroy (1) Keeps the top spot until play on TOUR says otherwise.
2. Tiger Woods (2) It will be news when he wins on a course other than one he historically owns.
3. Brandt Snedeker (8) Assume rib injury is a minor bump in the road and he’ll be ready for Augusta.
4. Charl Schwartzel (19) Riviera showed his game is traveling to the U.S. to start 2013.
5. Justin Rose (3) Yet to tee off on the PGA TOUR this year but expectations are high.
6. Luke Donald (4) Didn’t disappoint in first event last week, playing in the penultimate group.
7. Louis Oosthuizen (5) Like Rose, all signs point to a big year despite a late start.
8. Dustin Johnson (6) A little distracted after early win, but should regain his focus in time for the heart of the season including majors.
9. Keegan Bradley (7) Solid start with three top 25s and a top five to just one missed cut.
10. Matt Kuchar (15) Looks as steady as ever to start the season with an eventual win seemingly inevitable.
11. Adam Scott (12) Kicked off his season with a T10 at Riviera CC, picking up where he left off in 2012.
12. Hunter Mahan (13) Trendy start to 2013 shows late-season fade in 2012 is a thing of the past.
13. Jason Dufner (9) Missed cut at WMPO was an unpleasant surprise on a course that suits him.
14. Bubba Watson (10) Seemed like there was always a circumstance surrounding him every week on the West Coast Swing.
15. Robert Garrigus (31) With four top 25s in four starts to begin the year, gamers will find out soon enough if he’s this year’s Jason Dufner or Bo Van Pelt.
16. Rickie Fowler (22) A pair of T6s and a missed cut in three starts preview an inconsistent but generally good ride for Fowler fans in 2013.
17. Phil Mickelson (17) All over the place on the West Coast, but the win at the WMPO fits his historic profile.
18. Webb Simpson (20) A good but not great start to the season builds a base for when he does put it all together for a win.
19. Nick Watney (42) A T4 at Torrey Pines put many preseason concerns to rest, but limped out of the West Coast Swing.
20. Sergio Garcia (29) Showed up at Riviera CC with his B+ game and walked out with a T13, which is a good sign for those that own the Spaniard in season-long leagues.
21. Ian Poulter (16) All eyes will be on the Ryder Cup giant at the Match Play, where he’s lost in the first round each of the last two years following a 2010 title.
22. Lee Westwood (18) Eased into the season with a couple of paydays at Pebble and Riviera, but didn’t crack the top 20 in either.
23. Ryan Moore (23) Expected a big year with his lofty preseason ranking, and he’s done nothing to temper that despite a poor final round at Riviera.
24. Chris Kirk (33) Two top fives, including a runner-up at Pebble Beach, have full-season Kirk owners salivating.
25. Bill Haas (37) Stubbed his toe in the Northern Trust finale, but looks to have found his game and reunited with his big brother on the bag.
26. Scott Piercy (35) Leaves the West Coast with three top 25s and a third at the WMPO. Yes, please.
27. Bo Van Pelt (11) His preseason ranking may have been a little too lofty. He reinforced that thought with just one top 25 in four starts.
28. Brian Gay (96) The win at the Humana Challenge forces us to reconsider him coming off of a down 2012. He’s had a multiple win season before (2009).
29. Jason Day (41) Made each of his three cuts, including two top 10s. All systems go.
30. Russell Henley (65) You’ll notice from his preseason ranking that his early success isn’t a surprise, but a win at the Sony Open certainly ups his stock.
31. James Hahn (NR) Made all six cuts including two top-four finishes and managed to become a You Tube sensation in the mean time.
32. Jimmy Walker (61) Like Hahn, made all six cuts with four top 25s and two top 10s. Hasn’t won on TOUR, but neither had Jason Dufner this time last year.
33. John Merrick (94) The unlikely winner of a star-studded leaderboard at last week’s Northern Trust Open.
34. Steve Stricker (34) A runner-up in his only start, he can’t be faded too far despite his limited schedule.
35. Graeme McDowell (26) Might not deserve this fade, but his time on the sidelines and missed cut at Riviera has allowed others to stake their claim on his old spot.
36. Jim Furyk (28) Not a bad start to the year with a T13 at Riviera and a T30 at Pebble Beach, but a quiet start nonetheless.
37. Zach Johnson (14) We haven’t hit the sweet spot of his schedule, but the missed cut at the Sony Open serves as a small yellow flag.
38. Charles Howell III (70) Missed cut at Riviera officially ends his hot start. How long will we have to wait for his next surge?
39. Josh Teater (116) Making plenty of noise early on tough courses with a T2 at Torrey Pines and a T6 at Riviera.
40. Martin Kaymer (21) Missed cut at WMPO in only start, putting early pressure on him to perform in WGCs.
41. Padraig Harrington (58) A T9 and two missed cuts to start the year teach us to expect a bit of a rollercoaster, but the upside remains in his game.
42. Tim Clark (62) Early runner-up at Sony Open serves as only top 25 in five starts.
43. Ernie Els (38) A T13 at Riviera to start his 2013 puts him in midseason form coming to start the year.
44. Kevin Stadler (63) Baby Stads made four out of five cuts with a T3 at Pebble Beach. The week he putts is the week he could win.
45. Carl Pettersson (39) He’s made four cuts in five starts, but hadn’t cracked a top 40 since the season-opening HTOC.
46. Billy Horschel (50) We expected a breakout 2013 and the Q School retread hasn’t disappointed. Five-for-five with two top 11s.
47. John Rollins (66) Usually a streaky player, he’s been consistent in making all five cuts with four going for top 25s.
48. Ryan Palmer (59) Back-to-back top-six finishes followed by back-to-back missed cuts sound about right for the veteran.
49. Scott Stallings (45) Had a real chance to win the Humana Challenge, reinforcing that he is dangerous on easier courses where the scores go deep.
50. Jonas Blixt (27) One top 25 and three missed cuts in five starts were not the start to the sophomore campaign the Swede envisioned.

50. Jonas Blixt (27) One top 25 and three missed cuts in five starts were not the start to the sophomore campaign the Swede envisioned.
51. Tommy Gainey (30) Played every week leading up to the Match Play, but made just two cuts. He will have a few big weeks and plenty of misses.
52. Luke Guthrie (40) Overshadowed by Russell Henley and James Hahn, but had four top-27 finishes in six starts. Reminiscent of Seung-yul Noh’s rookie year.
53. Cameron Tringale (57) One missed cut in six tries, with back-to-back top 25s. He will have a big week soon.
54. Seung-yul Noh (25) Noh will likely be great once he figures out how to turn top 25s into top fives and top 10s.
55. Brendon de Jonge (53) One top 10 and one missed cut in six events puts him about where we would expect.
56. Matt Every (48) A good long-term own because he’s becoming feast or famine.
57. Jeff Overton (55) Consistent start to 2013 and uncomfortably overdue for a breakthrough win.
58. Aaron Baddeley (56) Looks likely to rebound from an average 2012 given the early returns.
59. Martin Laird (46) No top 10s on TOUR since THE PLAYERS last year, but I trust he will get it worked out. If he doesn’t, expect a big fade on the next Snapshot.
60. Sang-moon Bae (90) Trendy West Coast Swing culminates in season’s first top 10 at Riviera CC.
61. Bud Cauley (24) Three missed cuts in five starts has me crossing my fingers against a sophomore slump.
62. Retief Goosen (NR) Secured the cash at Pebble Beach to satisfy his Major Medical Extension, thus securing a full season. Looking good in the process.
63. Fredrik Jacobson (73) Looked like he would emerge from the rubble to win at Riviera. His two top 10s have already doubled his 2012 effort.
64. Ross Fisher (49) Played four events and make just over $100K to stay solid in the first reshuffle.
65. John Senden (51) Had top 25s in half of his 22 events last year, but batting 0-for-4 in the same category this season.
66. Kevin Na (52) Was looking for a spark early and didn’t get it.
67. Charlie Beljan (109) We know he will miss plenty of cuts, but will be a factor a few times per year. Good luck predicting him on a weekly basis. Reminds me of Tommy Gainey.
68. David Toms (60) Too early to do much with him, given his strong history in tourneys later in the year.
69. Charlie Wi (67) Followed the script with his T16 at Pebble Beach a season-best. Made each of his six cuts.
70. David Lingmerth (NR) Probably the biggest surprise of the rookies; lost Humana playoff.
71. Pat Perez (80) Took care of business to our expectations on the West Coast with two top 25s, including a T9 at the Sony Open.
72. Harris English (44) Falling behind 2012 pace already and struggling on the weekends, which was our top concern about the sophomore.
73. Charley Hoffman (69) No red flags, but no green ones either.
74. Scott Langley (NR) Huge first week at Sony (T3) but a big fall off since. He should pop back up a few more times.
75. Ben Crane (54) I’m growing concerned with his form. It’s unlike him to miss three of four cuts to start the year when the West Coast is normally a strength.
76. Bryce Molder (75) Made each of his five cuts with four going for top 25s but zero top 10s. Need to see him place a little better, but play is strong.
77. Brian Stuard (NR) Big surprise that he’s made all four cuts and two went for top 10s.
78. Geoff Ogilvy (68) Missing four of five cuts, this is more respect than his form warrants but his history demands a little respect.
79. Marc Leishman (113) Developing into a contender with a little more regularity than in the past.
80. Bob Estes (NR) Hard to ignore not missing a cut in three tries with all going for top 30s.
81. Brendan Steele (114) Declared himself better prepared from a schedule standpoint in 2013 and the early results are optimistic.
82. William McGirt (81) The new dad is making cuts for the most part and sneaking into the top 25 enough to hold him steady.
83. John Huh (43) The 2012 ROY has just one top 25 in five starts versus 12 in 28 last season.
84. Graham DeLaet (76) Falling in line with where he left off 2012, a solid bet to keep his card with some upside.
85. Richard H. Lee (83) Already matched his 2012 top-10 total (1) and is half way to his top-25 total (4) in just five starts, making our prediction that he easily keeps his card feel safe.
86. Nicolas Colsaerts (36) Still learning courses, but the early returns aren’t great. Needs a nice couple of WGCs.
87. J.B. Holmes (72) Not a good start to the year considering he missed cuts at the Waste Management and Riviera where he is a perennial contender.
88. Brian Davis (74) May have righted the ship of a rough start at the Northern Trust Open.
89. Lucas Glover (89) Seems medically fine, making three of four cuts. Needs to grab a top 25 and that could come in Tampa Bay.
90. K.J. Choi (98) Not convinced he looks better than a rocky 2012, but doesn’t look worse either.
91. Johnson Wagner (87) Kept busy on the West Coast with six starts, but was relatively unimpressive.
92. Ted Potter Jr. (115) A top 10 at Rivera was eye-opening, given he hadn’t shown much skill on tougher tracks in the past.
93. Kevin Chappell (111) This year shouldn’t come down to the last putt in terms of keeping his card.
94. Jonathan Byrd (95) Hasn’t played yet, but we knew that. Seems on track for a Florida Swing return.
95. Brian Harman (86) Making cuts at a similar rate to 2012, but not finding the top 25s.
96. Vijay Singh (47) Given the deer antler spray fallout is unknown, this is a bit of a shot in the dark.
97. George McNeill (99) Four cuts made in as many starts is unusual consistency for the veteran and two-time winner.
98. Matt Jones (NR) Two top 25s in four starts is a nice bounce-back from a poor 2012 that found him back in Q School.
99. Peter Hanson (32) Hard to peg, but there will be plenty of pressure on him at Dove Mountain and Doral.
100. David Hearn (101) Holding steady to his 2012 trend, but would like to see a big week soon to go ahead and lock him in for 2013-2014.
101. Patrick Reed (102) Clutch top 10 at Pebble made up for three missed cuts in five starts.
102. Sean O’Hair (82) Almost never misses cuts on the West Coast Swing, but he made just one (T16 at Pebble Beach) of five this season. The flag’s not red, but it’s moving from yellow to orange.
103. Kevin Streelman (118) Made four (of five) cuts with three top-27 finishes and a T10 at Humana. Trending upward as the TOUR heads to Florida.
104. Brad Fritsch (NR) The Web.com Tour grad improved his number at Q School and continued to play well on the West Coast, highlighted by an impressive top 10 at Torrey Pines.
105. Casey Wittenberg (105) Seemed to rebound after a couple of early missed cuts. Reshuffle exemption is in his favor.
106. Roberto Castro (107) A T16 at the Waste Management was the culmination of a nice three-week run, but has also missed three cuts. Falling in line with our expectations.
107. Steve Marino (NR) A T15 at Torrey Pines puts our minds at ease about his health coming off an injury.
108 Daniel Summerhays (93) Not a good start to the year, but it’s actually a better West Coast than he had in what turned out to be a solid 2012.
109. Ken Duke (64) Slow start for the veteran bears monitoring in Florida.
110. Nicholas Thompson (NR) A T6 at the Humana and a T21 at Torrey Pines give his season-long owners reason to be excited.
111. Troy Matteson (100) Made just one cut, and not surprisingly it was a T16 at the Waste Management. Long-term value really hasn’t changed due to his nature of a few big weeks with lots of misses.
112. Stewart Cink (NR) Several bright spots and new equipment for Cink have him looking refreshed in 2013.
113. Greg Chalmers (110) Making a high percentage of cuts early with one top 10 sounds pretty status quo for the Aussie veteran.
114. Ricky Barnes (NR) Back-to-back top 20s to start the season, but four missed cuts to follow keep him as maddening a weekly option as ever. Still a decent long-term investment.
115. James Driscoll (NR) A T9 at Pebble gets him the bump inside the top 125, but I doubt he ends up inside the top 100.
116. D.A. Points (104) Poor start prompted a Twitter announcement of a caddy change. Something has to change quickly.
117. Greg Owen (122) Making cuts, but not finishing high. That’s usually the story of guys in the 100-125 range.
118. Kyle Stanley (78) Ball-striking stats are encouraging, but dead last on TOUR in strokes gained-putting.
119. Justin Hicks (NR) Made every cut with two top 25s. A T12 at Pebble leaves us wanting more.
120. J.J. Henry (121) Back to making plenty of cuts, but can’t figure out the weekend quite yet.
121. Justin Leonard (NR) Only so many courses where he can be a real factor, but scratching out paydays in all five of his starts counts for something.
122. Mark Wilson (77) He’s in big trouble after logging just one top 25 to date. Always plays his best golf early, so I’d hate to be an owner of Wilson stock right now.
123. Chad Campbell (103) Hard to take too big of a swing at him until we get some Texas tournaments under our belt, but early returns aren’t encouraging.
124. Tom Gillis (120) Plodding along and making a few cuts, but The Honda will be a huge tournament in determining Gillis’ season.
125. Jason Kokrak (NR) Missed plenty of cuts, but a T8 at Humana makes me optimistic that he will show up Charlie Beljan- or Tommy Gainey-style
Dropping out: Blake Adams (71, injury), Michael Thompson (79), Ryo Ishikawa (84), Morgan Hoffmann (85), John Mallinger (88), Davis Love III (91, injury), Robert Karlsson (92), Rory Sabbatini (97), Spencer Levin (106, injury), Luke List (108), Andres Romero (112), Will Claxton (117), Martin Flores (119), Ben Curtis (123), D.H. Lee (124) and Robert Streb (125).
We will next check in following the Masters. Until then, best of luck!
