Predicting 10 first-time PGA Tour winners in 2024

The RSM Classic

After taking a nearly two-month holiday hiatus, the PGA Tour will return to action the first week of January with the 2024 Sentry in Hawaii.

The last time we saw the boys in action, rookie Ludvig Aberg earned his first win on Tour at the RSM Classic in November. There were 13 first-time winners on Tour in 2023, up one from 12 the year prior. Golfweek predicted four of them.

So who do we have our eyes on for next year? From veterans to rising stars from the amateur ranks, here are 10 players who we predict will hoist a trophy on Tour for the first time in 2024.

It’s not a matter of if Young is going to win on Tour, but when. The 26-year-old finished runner-up once last season and five times the season prior. He’s consistently in the mix and should be in the winner’s circle any week now.

Fleetwood’s past due for a win on the PGA Tour, right? He finished runner-up at the RBC Canadian Open and in third place twice this season as part of nine top-10 finishes. He also compiled a 3-1-0 record at the Ryder Cup in the fall. Don’t be shocked if Fleetwood finally picks up his first win on Tour this season.

The 25-year-old Aussie has the potential to be a star for a while in the game. He’s a three-time winner on the DP World Tour and earned four top-10 finishes last season on the PGA Tour, including a T-5 at the U.S. Open. The Tour could use more young, outgoing players like Lee, and next year could be where he takes the next step.
