• Course IQ sits at B for Smylie, a mild soft spot across the 2025–26 pool: 66 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. Course management and shot selection — playing the smart shot, not just the bold one.

Tour Winner. A dependable, above-average build across the board. Nothing here is a true weakness, and nothing is a true signature strength either — just a well-rounded pro's game.
