There are a number of very good players still looking for their first win on the PGA Tour. In our current series, we are taking a look at the players who might be next to get that first win. Today’s subject is Cameron Tringale.

This one is tough because it seems that Tringale can get himself into contention but can never close the deal. The numbers simply don’t lie.

Amazingly, Tringale has made 311 starts on the PGA Tour without a win. He has finished second on three occasions in his career. He was T2 at the Barclays in 2014, finished second to Justin Rose at the 2015 Zurich Classic and was T2 at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in 2016.

Last season, Tringale made 27 starts on tour and was able to make the cut 20 times. He had 11 Top 25 showings and four Top 10s. Including in those were two third-place finishes. He was T3 at the Valspar Championship, then finished one shot out of a playoff, in third, at the RSM Classic.

So the big question is – what will it take for Tringale to get over the hump?

The problem is, he doesn’t get himself into contention often enough. Out of 311 starts in his career, he has only finished in the Top 10 26 times. That means he’s in the Top 10 only 8.5 percent of the time.

And he’s in the top three even less. Only seven times in his 311 starts has he ever finished second or third. That’s 2.5 percent of his starts in which he has finished in the top three.

This is not a criticism of Tringale. He has made over $14 million in his career despite not winning. But he would love to get the monkey off of his back and finally get in the winner’s circle.

Tringale would have to find a special combination of the right event versus the right field to get a win. The odds are not in his favor at this point, but anything can happen.
