Before last season, I ran through the players that were projected to rise and decline in the 2013-2014 season (http://www.golfwrx.com/163945/pga-tour-players-who-will-rise-and-fall-in-2014/). With the start of the 2014-2015 season coming this week, I wanted to go through the projections. The rankings in the tables below are based out of 177 players. PLAYERS ON THE RISEBILLY HURLEY IIIOne of the things I established a few years ago with my research was the idea of what I call The Four Cornerstones of the game. Recently, I altered the 4 cornerstones of the game just slightly: - Driving Effectiveness - Red Zone play (shots from 175-225 yards) - Shots from 10-20 yards - Make Percentage from 3-15 feet Hurley achieved all of those 4 cornerstones of the game. Not only do the 4 cornerstones have a strong correlation to success on Tour, but they also have correlated strongly to getting a Tour victory, soon. Ben Curtis achieved the 4 cornerstones in 2011 despite only finishing 133rd on the Money List went on to win the next season at the Valero Texas Open. Matt Jones accomplished the 4 cornerstones in 2013 and finished 48th on the Money List and then went on to win at Houston this past season. Hurley accomplished all of the 4 cornerstones last season and finished 91st on the Money List. He does not hit it that far and that may hold him back a little, along with having a below average Purse Size per Event played.
