Gary Woodland

Gary Woodland, out of USA — Texas & South-Central, rates 80 overall on the PGA Tour — the numbers add up to a Tour Winner, with power the clear peak of the profile at A.

• At A, Woodland's power rating is top-tier (92nd percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — only 8 players in the pool rate higher. How far the ball goes off the tee — long hitters shorten every hole.
• Accuracy B+ — comfortably above tour-average in the 2025–26 pool; 20 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. How often the ball finds the fairway and stays out of trouble.
• Iron Play sits at B+ for Woodland, on the stronger side of average across 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 sits at C for Woodland, a genuine liability across the 2025–26 pool: nearly the whole pool rates higher. Scrambling around the green — chips, pitches, and bunker shots that save par.
• At B+, Woodland's putting rating is a shade above the pool average (68th percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — 30 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 B+ for Woodland, a shade above the pool average across the 2025–26 pool: 36 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. Course management and shot selection — playing the smart shot, not just the bold one.
• Nerve A- — a clear strength in the 2025–26 pool; 16 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. Composure in contention — how a golfer performs with the tournament on the line.
• Consistency sits at B+ for Woodland, on the stronger side of average across the 2025–26 pool: 42 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 B for Woodland, well below the pool average across the 2025–26 pool: 75 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. Stamina and durability across a long season — fewer withdrawals, less late-year fade.
