Jason Day

Seven wins in under a year, which included his first major at the 2015 PGA Championship, a second World Golf Championship and the 2016 Players Championship, propelled Jason Day to world No 1 and it was a position he would hold for 51 weeks in all.

By October 2022, however, he had fallen to 175th and it was not until this May at the AT&T Byron Nelson that he ended a five-year search for his 13th PGA Tour success and returned to the game's top 20.

At Whistling Straits for the 2015 PGA, former world junior champion Day became the first player to finish a major 20 under par as he beat Jordan Spieth by three.

A month earlier he had a putt that would have earned him a spot in a play-off in The Open at St Andrews, but he left it inches short.

The following season Day came close to a successful defence of his PGA crown with a last-hole eagle, but Jimmy Walker pipped him by a stroke.

Day was runner-up in both The Masters and U.S. Open in 2011 - only his third and fourth majors - and two years later the Presidents Cup player came second at the U.S. Open again.
