David Lipsky

Lipsky was rookie on Tour last season after playing primarily overseas for most of his career and recorded a pair of top-10s against weak fields with a best finish of T-6. He did flash above average iron play (40th in strokes-gained approach) and there's room to improve if he can make strides in his short game. He's a solid cut maker that should find himself in contention more often this season.

Lipsky has never appeared in more than five events in a single PGA Tour season, but a T8 at June's Palmetto Championship earned him a six-figure paycheck for the first time at this level. On the Korn Ferry Tour in 2020-21, Lipsky finished 12th on the regular season points list with three second-place results and a win at the 2020 TPC San Antonio Challenge at the Canyons. Lipsky also recently tied for fourth at the Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship during the second leg of the KFT Finals.

A win at July's TPC San Antonio Challenge accompanied by a T2 at the WinCo Foods Portland Open contributed to Lipsky's positioning inside the top 10 in the Korn Ferry Tour's points list. Lipsky ball striking throughout the 2020 campaign wasn't all that impressive as he ranked 52nd in total driving and 65th in GIR percentage, but he was sixth in birdie or better conversion and 16th in putting average. He possesses a decent amount of PGA Tour experience with 15 total starts since 2015, though he should still retain rookie eligibility ahead of the 2020-21 season.
