Harry Higgs

Higgs has shown flashes but really struggles with consistency. Exhibit A: a disastrous 16-over par performance at the Charles Schwab challenge. This past year, he made less than half of his cuts (13 of 30) and likely wouldn’t be fully exempt for next season if not for a T15 finish at Augusta in April. The 30-year-old American is a likable character outside the ropes, but he will need to improve his results on the course next year if he hopes to maintain his Tour card.

Higgs made the BMW Championship for the second straight season. He opened 2020-21 with a runner-up at the Safeway Open and his only other top-10 was a T4 at the PGA Championship. Higgs has shown flashes, but there are a lot of ball-striking inconsistencies in his game. Until he shows that, it is hard to seeing him take that next step to make it to East Lake.

After graduating from the Korn Ferry Tour, Higgs made 16-of-25 cuts and qualified for the BMW Championship as a Tour rookie. His best result came at the Bermuda Championship - an alternate field event where he finished runner-up. Higgs has a nice combination of good length and accuracy off-the-tee, but he finished outside the top 150 in SG: Approach. He'll need to improve his iron play in order to contend for titles more often. A reasonable season-long option with moderate upside.

Slated to become a PGA Tour rookie at age 27, Higgs endured a hefty schedule on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2019 as he qualified for the weekend in an impressive 17 of 21 starts. He finished fifth on the Regular Season Points List thanks in large part to a win at the Price Cutter Charity Championship, but he also racked up five top-10s and 12 top-25s. Higgs, who rose to 12th in ball striking, ranked third in both putting and birdie average on the KFT. He led the PGA Tour Latinamerica in earnings throughout the 2018 campaign, commencing a success story that has resulted in Higgs vaulting as high as 146th in the OWGR.
