Joel Dahmen

Joel Dahmen is a PGA Tour pro from United States rated 77 overall (grade B-) in the 2025–26 pool — a Tour Winner build headlined by accuracy at A, the standout of the nine zones on this card.

• At C, Dahmen's power rating is well below the pool average (15th percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — nearly the whole pool rates higher. How far the ball goes off the tee — long hitters shorten every hole.
• Accuracy sits at A for Dahmen, top-tier across the 2025–26 pool: no one else in the pool rates higher. How often the ball finds the fairway and stays out of trouble.
• At A-, Dahmen's iron play rating is a clear strength (87th percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — only 12 players in the pool rate higher. Precision from the fairway into the green — the single biggest driver of low scores.
• Short Game sits at B for Dahmen, a touch below tour-average across the 2025–26 pool: 64 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 D for Dahmen, a genuine liability across the 2025–26 pool: nearly the whole pool rates higher. Holing putts, especially the ones inside ten feet that turn pars into birdies.
• Course IQ B+ — a shade above the pool 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.
• At B, Dahmen's nerve rating is the clearest weak point in the profile (17th percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — 79 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. Composure in contention — how a golfer performs with the tournament on the line.
• Consistency B — the clearest weak point in the profile in 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.
• At B, Dahmen's engine rating is the clearest weak point in the profile (21st percentile of 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.
