Which guy do you think you’ll be pulling for more?

And who do you think has the more successful career?

I’ll pull for Wolff because I like the hitchy swing but I think Holland has the better career

I like both but I think Hovland has the better career when it's all said and done.

I’m pretty sure I like Hovland’s style a bit more. I really have no feel for what separates them as far as pure talent(clearly their swings are different).


ETA: sms why you downvoting my OP?

Hovland seems like a really good dude that doesn't get flustered out there, hes always smiling and having a good time when I watched him.

I have not seen much of wolff in tourney play, he may be the same way.

I’m going to pull for both. Hovland just because I think he’s goofy and fun. Wolff because of the swing and passion.

Throw in Akshay Bhatia and Joaquin Niemann and you got 4 kids that all look incredible

Wolff is amazing to watch.

But the body won't last long hitting 7 irons 220 yds. That speed is obviously attainable, but not sustainable. One of those quirks in his swing Is going to wear out before he hits 30

Kid has the potential to be great.

The amount of talent that’s pouring into the game is ridiculous.

Get back out there? He's played a lot of events, just wouldn't know it because he's missing every cut.

He's not near the same overall talent level as Hovland, Wolff, Morikawa, or Suh.

Not near? He won a Tour event already. He can't be that inferior

Yes, he has a win, but it was the opposite field Jackson event. It's essentially a win on the web, and did not earn a Masters invite.

If you go back and compare his amateur career to theirs, it's not even remotely close. And they only one he's beating this week at the moment is Suh.

Yeah, you have great talent and I feel like in general, the instruction/data/analysis has never been better. You also have this new level of golfer/athlete that is working out much more than other generations. The problem for all of them is the field is so loaded it will be tough to accumulate wins

Hovland looks like Rory McIlroy walking out of Willie Nelson's tour bus. I'll pull for him.

I often think about that.

I think in 15-20 years we’ll have tournaments won by “random” golfers who just happened to be putting well and hitting fairways that week.

I realize you could say that for every era but this just feels different. Like all these golfers will be playing the exact same type of golf and will look almost exactly the same and every win will look the same. Will simply depend on who happens to separate themselves by the smallest margin to take the victory each given week.

Hovland seems super likeable.

And he's pretty damn good at golf.
