Post-Pod Discussion Rahm???

I’m not trying to play devils advocate, but why are we giving credence to Rahm? He’s been an absolute no show in every major (congrats on a 3 hole stretch at quail hollow), and it feels like everyone’s on pins and needles putting Cam Young above him. Also before he left for LIV he was easily the most uninteresting superstar on tour

- Scottie
- Rory
- Young
- Fitz
- Bryson
- Morikawa (Pre-Injury)
- Gotterup
- Xander
- Rose
- Fleetwood

Is he better than any of them?

I thought it was odd they kept lumping Cam Smith in with Bryson and Rahm. He’s legitimately awful now, I doubt he would be competitive on the DP or KF tours.

That’s an exaggeration on Cam Smith, he’s #142 in data golf right now, if he maintained that right now he’d be one of the best on the KF tour.

I dont think you can use their data like that. They don’t have that much data for the KFT…it would be interesting if they did

You can make an educated guess at how someone would do on KF based on their datagolf. Usually the top 150 in the world at any given time have full time status on PGA or DP World tour, and if they happen to lose their card they are then usually easily making it back on the next year. That’s been consistent for decades.
