5 golfers to watch in 2024: two of the sport’s rising stars, a Scottish player, an American maverick and a French pocket racquet.

Scotland’s golf reporter picks this year’s player to shine

It’s an exciting time for golfers as they rejuvenate their games for a new calendar campaign after enjoying a short break most of these days.
For Bob McIntyre, he will retire as a PGA Tour cardholder starting next week in Hawaii, while the DP World Tour has a double header scheduled in Dubai for the Caledonian contingent to open 2024. Gemma Dryburgh will return to the LPGA later this month as she competes in the Solheim Cup for the second year in a row, with the Ryder Cup now moving to odd years and the Solheim Cup to even years. .

Reigning Masters champion Jon Rahm joins the new season. It also promises to be an exciting year for the LIV Golf League. Even Rory McIlroy, once his biggest critic, can say that now. Low -level players are also ready to resume their lips and prepare for the winter campaign camp in the United States and South Africa.

Hawaii can continue during the center, but the traditional PA tournament will grow in traditional cookies, but the 2024 campaign is actually happening, but there are five players in the world.

I did not buy an honest and Swedish cup here, but I did not buy a child, but I was dedicated to the Imaga Masters World Tour in recent weeks. He was given the option to take over captain Luke Donald’s side in Rome and, like everything he has faced so far in his career, he passed the monumental test with ease. He then took home the RSM Classic to become his first PGA Tour winner, and while 2023 will be a tough year, there are no signs the 24-year-old will be giving up on the game. LIV Golf offers to play during breaks to become a member, but you can’t get stronger. Gemma Dryburgh

The Scot may have felt out of her depth when she first competed on the LPGA Tour in 2018, but she no longer does. She said she had gained a lot of confidence from her remarkable victory at the Japanese circuit in November 2022 and won all five women’s main classes for the first time last year. Suzanne Pettersen, 30, was ruled out of the Solheim Cup held at Finca Cortes, Spain, in September after being named one of the captains. One of her big goals for 2024 is to wear European colors again. This event takes place in Virginia in mid-September. Breaking into the top 50 in the world would be another goal, and judging by his form in recent years, it’s certainly achievable. grant forest

I first met him when he won a junior event and I am old enough to know that he is now 30 and married after marrying a lovely young lady on holiday at Archerfield Links in Christy. The Scot admitted his 2022 campaign was disappointing after claiming his first DP World Tour win at the Hero Open at Fairmont St Andrews last year, but his credit looked much better last year. While scoring six top 10s. He can be hard on himself sometimes, but that’s only because he wants to get better. I think Pencaitland are still without their best player which shows they are not afraid to manage the game even in the face of adversity. Player for years to come.

Now I’m a big American fan. Mainly because I met him last year at the Genesis Scottish Open. First, he is an interesting player and a good one at that. As PGA Tour followers know, he has won six US Tour titles in less than four years. His surprise first DP World Tour win at the Nedbank Golf Challenge in South Africa in November was great to see his game travel. It also has personality, and quality should never be underestimated, especially if the game requires players who aren’t just muscle or robots.

If I had to add a Challenge Tour graduate to my list, I’d easily choose Britain’s Marco Penge, who is ready to fulfill his enormous potential as an amateur. Instead, we chose the 22-year-old Frenchman who caught the eye at the R&A-backed Rolex Challenge Tour Grand Final in Mallorca in November. At 6ft 4in, he’s a pocket rocket with the heart of a lion and don’t be surprised if Cannes players Matthew Baldwin, Tom McKibbin, Daniel Hillier and Todd Clements win the DP World Tour in 2023. …after graduating from the highly competitive secondary circuit .
