Overview

Representing New Zealand on the PGA Tour, Ryan Fox carries a 79 overall rating and a Tour Winner profile, built around nerve graded A, which leads every other attribute on the card.

Attribute by attribute

  • Power A- — comfortably above tour-average in the 2025–26 pool; 24 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. How far the ball goes off the tee — long hitters shorten every hole.
  • At C, Fox's accuracy rating is the clearest weak point in the profile (15th percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — nearly the whole pool rates higher. How often the ball finds the fairway and stays out of trouble.
  • Iron Play B+ — modestly above average in 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 B for Fox, a mild soft spot 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 B+ for Fox, on the stronger side of average across 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 Fox, a touch below tour-average 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.
  • Nerve sits at A for Fox, elite across the 2025–26 pool: only 3 players in the pool rate higher. Composure in contention — how a golfer performs with the tournament on the line.
  • At B+, Fox's consistency rating is modestly above average (56th percentile of 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.
  • At B, Fox'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.

Archetype

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.
