He’s really good.

Will be interesting to see how he progresses in the majors over the next 5 years

He definitely has all of the tools to succeed and have a lengthy pro career.

It's a shame this young man has won twice on the tour this year and they have him barely in the top 70 of the fedex cup. They gave him 0 points for winning the Amex.

He is one of the future stars of the game; America's version of Aberg.

Him getting 0 points for winning the AmEx because he was an amateur at the time is absurd.

I think it’s crazy that he’s won 2 PGA Tournaments, played 18 events, & has only made $1.975M.

Caleb Surratt has made $1.87M playing 10 events on LIV & his best finish is T12

One of those wins was as a amateur, so he didn't collect any prize money or Fedex Cup points.

In the other 17 events...
6 missed cuts
5 top 25
1 win (at an opposite field event with a limited purse)

So, Dunlap winning $2 million sounds about right.

Dunlap will get a lot more marketing opportunities being on the tour. The PGA can make you a star whereas LIV can make you filthy rich.

We want to crown guys so early.

He’s good, but like Aberg, and needs time to reach his full potential which is off the charts.

No shite he needs time, he is 20 years old. But he is doing things we rarely see.

He is the reigning US Am champ. He has won twice on tour as a rookie. I would say he has crowned himself.

I agree he has accomplished a great deal.

When he tees off in 100 straight majors having won 3, then I will crown him.
