Marco Penge

Marco Penge, out of England, rates 74 overall on the PGA Tour — the numbers add up to a Grinder, with power the clear peak of the profile at A+.

• At A+, Penge's power rating is among the very best in the pool (96th percentile of 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 Penge, 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 C — a genuine liability in the 2025–26 pool; nearly the whole pool rates higher. Precision from the fairway into the green — the single biggest driver of low scores.
• Short Game sits at C for Penge, the clearest weak point in the profile across the 2025–26 pool: nearly the whole pool rates higher. Scrambling around the green — chips, pitches, and bunker shots that save par.
• At C, Penge's putting rating is the clearest weak point in the profile (19th percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — 77 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 C — well below the pool average in the 2025–26 pool; nearly the whole pool rates higher. Course management and shot selection — playing the smart shot, not just the bold one.
• At C, Penge's nerve rating is well below the pool average (5th percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — nearly the whole pool rates higher. Composure in contention — how a golfer performs with the tournament on the line.
• Consistency sits at C for Penge, well below the pool average across the 2025–26 pool: nearly the whole pool rates higher. How tightly a golfer's scores cluster around their average, round after round.
• Engine A- — well above the pool average in the 2025–26 pool; 26 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. Stamina and durability across a long season — fewer withdrawals, less late-year fade.

Grinder. Wins by not losing. A grinder's game is even across all nine zones — never the best in the field, rarely the worst either.
