Tom McKibbin $8,400

Tom McKibbin has accumulated two top ten finishes in his last four events played on the DP World Tour, including a tenth-place result at the 2024 Danish Golf Championship last month.

McKibbin certainly checks the box for me when it comes to key player statistics. Tom McKibbin is currently ranked 15th in driving accuracy (62.48%), 16th in GIR (greens in regulation-69.63%), 19th in overall scoring average (70.05), eighth in bogey avoidance (2.44), and 12th in par five scoring average (4.55) on the DP World Tour.

The talented Englishman has tallied two top 17 finishes in his last three events played on the DP World Tour, including a tenth-place result at the 2024 BMW PGA Championship two weeks ago.

Due to Marcus Armitage’s quality finish at the 2024 BMW PGA Championship I decided to take a hard look at the relevant player statistics for the tournament to see how Armitage fared relative to the field.
