Collin Morikawa

As if winning the 2020 PGA Championship on his debut was not enough, Collin Morikawa did the exact same thing at Royal St George's to create history in July 2021, producing closing rounds of 64 and 66 respectively for two-stroke victories.

It made him the first player since Bobby Jones in 1926 to win two majors in eight or fewer starts – and also in there were finishes of joint eighth at the US Open and tied-fourth in his PGA Championship title defence during a meteoric rise to second in the world before the age of 25.

Morikawa has enjoyed four other wins on the PGA Tour, including a World Golf Championship and most recently the Zozo Championship in October with a final round 63, and two Ryder Cup appearances, winning three times alongside Dustin Johnson at Whistling Straits in 2021.

To complete that dream season, he added the DP World Championship in Dubai and became the first American to top the European Tour money list.

Winner of all his four games at the 2017 Walker Cup – a 19-7 victory for America - and also held the world amateur No 1 spot for three weeks in 2018. Morikawa won two of his three games on his Presidents Cup debut and finished joint-third in April’s Masters.
