Overview

Representing United States on the PGA Tour, Billy Horschel carries a 75 overall rating and a Grinder profile, built around iron play graded B+, which leads every other attribute on the card.

Attribute by attribute

  • Power B — a mild soft spot in the 2025–26 pool; 59 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. How far the ball goes off the tee — long hitters shorten every hole.
  • Accuracy C — the clearest weak point in the profile in the 2025–26 pool; nearly the whole pool rates higher. How often the ball finds the fairway and stays out of trouble.
  • Iron Play B+ — on the stronger side of average in the 2025–26 pool; 37 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. Precision from the fairway into the green — the single biggest driver of low scores.
  • Short Game C — well below the pool average in the 2025–26 pool; nearly the whole pool rates higher. Scrambling around the green — chips, pitches, and bunker shots that save par.
  • Putting B — a step below the pool average in the 2025–26 pool; 56 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. Holing putts, especially the ones inside ten feet that turn pars into birdies.
  • Course IQ sits at C for Horschel, the clearest weak point in the profile across the 2025–26 pool: nearly the whole pool rates higher. Course management and shot selection — playing the smart shot, not just the bold one.
  • At C, Horschel's nerve rating is the clearest weak point in the profile (5th percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — nearly the whole pool rates higher. Composure in contention — how a golfer performs with the tournament on the line.
  • Consistency sits at B for Horschel, well below the pool average across the 2025–26 pool: 72 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. How tightly a golfer's scores cluster around their average, round after round.
  • Engine sits at C for Horschel, the clearest weak point in the profile across the 2025–26 pool: nearly the whole pool rates higher. Stamina and durability across a long season — fewer withdrawals, less late-year fade.
