I am thinking this young guy will be the next multiple world champ.

Its one tournament out of many in a year, and it no longer stands alone as an outlier barometer of the best golfer, as when it took many more rounds, letting the cream rise. I'd say Eagle has demonstrated all of the established skill to be a World Champion by now, maybe in 2018 when he was the Tour Champ, but a World Championship doesn't let the guy having the best season separate himself like it used to.He definitely has the potential, but let's see how the next few years go. Simon and Eagle looked very promising at a young age, too. I'm not saying they won't, but it hasn't happened yet.
opcorn:
One stroke, adjust aim. Makes sense.His putting is amazing, like he's been on tour for 15 years. They said on Jomez he only practices 30-footers and does it a ton each day. It shows.
The thing that stands out to me is just how consistent he is, which is something considering how aggressive he can be.
I feel like he certainly has the work ethic down and I hope he can stay grounded, but we're entering an era where these young players are poised to come into a good chunk of change by the time they're 18...
He's certainly very talented.
Depth and skill level of the field will continue to grow making it difficult for any one player to be dominant.
Yep, there was another 16-year-old making a few OUTSTANDING throws on 1st round coverage.
I feel like people forget that we've seen other young guys that were supposed to be next big thing.
Right now their resumes, in terms of wins and finishes at A/NT(DGPT)/M events are VERY similar. at 17. By the end of the season Gannon's may look better... don't know when exactly he turns 18, is that during this season or next?This feels different than previous young guns. 7 years ago when talking about Eagle, it was always about his huge potential but also about his lack of maturity.
Gannon's play and demeanor seems lightyears ahead of where Eagle's was/is. We don't even need to discuss his potential as much either, as he's already competing for wins on the pro tour. Even if he doesn't improve as he gets older, he's already developed the skillset to compete with the best.
