Each week on GolfChannel.com, we’ll examine which players’ stocks and trends are rising and falling in the world of golf.
RISING
Justin Thomas (+9%): Awesome power, a wider array of shots, better course management – the 23-year-old is viewed by many as a future superstar, and his performance at Kapalua showed why.
Hideki (+7%): Since mid-October, he’s a remarkable 403-2 against the field. Of course, those two losses – both to Thomas – and poor Sunday putting will sting.
Jim Furyk (+5%): Long rumored to be the top candidate for the 2018 captaincy, the 46-year-old is an ideal choice by the Ryder Cup committee – smart, experienced and well-respected.
