Despite the competitive environment, there's no denying that fellow professionals have mutual respect for one another.
Certainly, if you make it to the top circuits you are amongst the 0.01% and, as proven by a tweet from Max Homa, the six-time PGA Tour winner knows what he is on about in terms of players to look out for.
The answer is Tyrrell Hatton https://t.co/wY0JeJySeJJanuary 9, 2024
In regards to who the American was on about, it concerns the recent Hero Dubai Desert Classic winner, Tyrrell Hatton, who Homa claimed was the 'most underrated golfer' back in January 2024.
Posting on X/Twitter at the start of last year, NS' Kyle Porter posed the question 'Who is the most underrated golfer in the world right now?' In response to the question, Homa wrote five words, which read: "The answer is Tyrrell Hatton."
Now, after an incredible run of results, it seems that Homa's statement is coming true, as Hatton secured the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in October, as well as the Hero Dubai Desert Classic in January 2025. What's more, he also had top-six finishes in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship and DP World Tour Championship to conclude his final few months of 2024.
Hatton secured his second victory on the DP World Tour in four months
Certainly, it's not just Homa who has praised the Englishman's talent, with many calling Hatton one of the most underrated golfers on the planet.
Prior to joining the LIV Golf League in January 2024, the now eight-time DP World Tour winner ranked inside the top 20 of the Official World Golf Ranking and, despite LIV Golf not possessing OWGR points, he has has managed to hold his position. This is, in part, thanks to three worldwide wins in 13 months, as well as several strong finishes on the DP World Tour.
Now, since his latest victory, Hatton is up to 8th in the OWGR - which is his highest ranking in over three-and-a-half-years. Data Golf also has him at 6th, while he also sits 6th The Universal Golf Rankings.
