Our Thoughts
Tyrell Hatton: Outstanding putter who profiles sublimely here. Debuts but this is a course to suit. Hatton is the second best putter in the field on Bermuda. Ranks 6th in Strokes Gained: Tee To Green, 9th in Strokes Gained: Approach, 12th in Par 5 Scoring, 13th in Putting Average and 19th in Strokes Gained: Putting.
Taylor Montgomery: Brilliant putter who leads the Tour in Putting Average and third in Strokes Gained: Putting. Loves putting on Bermuda. Ranks 10th in Mayakoba and 12th in the Sony Open.
Sam Ryder: Another quality putter. Ranks third in Putting Average and fourth in Strokes Gained: Putting. Finished Top 10 at Mayakoba last year.
Andrew Putnam: Ranks fifth in Scrambling and seventh in Strokes Gained: Putting. Finished fourth in the 2023 Sony Open. Looks a nice tourney for him.
David Lingmerth: Finished Top 16 in both the Mayakoba and Puerto Rico Open last year. Ranks 20th in Putting Average this year.
