Jason Day

Representing Australia on the PGA Tour, Jason Day carries a 76 overall rating and a Tour Winner profile, built around short game graded A-, which leads every other attribute on the card.

• Power B — a touch below tour-average 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 sits at B+ for Day, comfortably above tour-average across 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 D for Day, well below the pool average across the 2025–26 pool: nearly the whole pool rates higher. Precision from the fairway into the green — the single biggest driver of low scores.
• At A-, Day's short game rating is well above the pool average (87th percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — only 12 players in the pool rate higher. Scrambling around the green — chips, pitches, and bunker shots that save par.
• At B+, Day'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 B+ — modestly above average in 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 Day, a genuine liability 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 C — the clearest weak point in the profile in the 2025–26 pool; nearly the whole pool rates higher. Stamina and durability across a long season — fewer withdrawals, less late-year fade.

Tour Winner. A solid tour winner's profile — no glaring weakness, a rating comfortably above the pool average, and enough all-around game to be a threat most weeks without a single standout attribute.

The closest attribute profiles in the 2025–26 pool belong to Max Homa (88% similar), Nick Taylor (87% similar) and Brian Harman (87% similar) — three builds that would feel familiar to play.

• Masters Tournament — Major

At $2.5M (D tier), Jason Day leaves $42.5M of the $45M Salary Cap budget for the other eight zones — room for 4 more S-tier chips, or 35 E-tier picks, or any mix in between. Good complementary picks to shore up the softer zones (iron play, engine and power) include Scottie Scheffler ($10M), Rory McIlroy ($10M) and Bryson DeChambeau ($6M).
