Chris Gotterup

Representing United States on the PGA Tour, Chris Gotterup carries a 85 overall rating and a Bomber profile, built around power graded A+, which leads every other attribute on the card.

• Power sits at A+ for Gotterup, elite across the 2025–26 pool: only 4 players in the pool rate higher. How far the ball goes off the tee — long hitters shorten every hole.
• Accuracy sits at B for Gotterup, a touch below tour-average across the 2025–26 pool: 55 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. How often the ball finds the fairway and stays out of trouble.
• Iron Play B+ — a shade above the pool 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.
• At B+, Gotterup's short game rating is modestly above average (63rd percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — 35 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. Scrambling around the green — chips, pitches, and bunker shots that save par.
• Putting sits at A- for Gotterup, a clear strength across the 2025–26 pool: 17 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 A- — a clear strength in the 2025–26 pool; only 11 players in the pool rate higher. Course management and shot selection — playing the smart shot, not just the bold one.
• At A, Gotterup's nerve rating is among the very best in the pool (97th percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — only 3 players in the pool rate higher. Composure in contention — how a golfer performs with the tournament on the line.
• Consistency A — top-tier in the 2025–26 pool; only 7 players in the pool rate higher. How tightly a golfer's scores cluster around their average, round after round.
• Engine A — elite in the 2025–26 pool; only 6 players in the pool rate higher. Stamina and durability across a long season — fewer withdrawals, less late-year fade.

Bomber. Length off the tee is the calling card. A bomber build wins the driving-distance battle most weeks before the second shot is even hit.
