Matthew Wolff – 100/1

Matthew Wolff is making his pro debut, just like Viktor Hovland. Funny enough, they have already seen each other plenty on the course, as the two have been teammates at Oklahoma State for the last few years.

Wolff is already known to a lot of golf fans out there. Not just for his spectacular play in college, but also for his funky swing.

It doesn’t matter what you look like when you swing, if you do it well, good for you. Knowing how much I like Jim Furyk and his funky swing, I could see this guy jumping into my top 5 favorite golfers.

Speaking of his spectacular play, Wolff actually won the 2019 NCAA men’s individual championship this year, defeating Steven Fisk from Georgia Southern by an impressive five strokes. He would shoot rounds of 73-66-70-69 to claim the title.

Wolf turned pro this week as well, joining his teammate from the previous slide, Viktor Hovland. Both hailing from an incredibly loaded Oklahoma State squad, Wolff will look to join Hovland as a dark horse this week. Here’s hoping he can make a good percentage of the noise that Hovland did last week.
