The 2024 PGA Tour season concluded with its finale at the Tour Championship. This season was marked by some players exceeding expectations and performing exceptionally well. Most surprising was Scottie Scheffler, who won seven tournaments, becoming the first golfer since Tiger Woods in 2007 to achieve this feat.
Xander Schauffele also made headlines in 2024 by winning two Majors. However, while some players shone brightly this year, others struggled and performed below expectations. Players including Tom Kim, Rickie Fowler, and others did not meet the expectations and underperformed.

3 Max Homa
Coming off his incredible two wins on the PGA Tour in the 2022-23 season, fans hoped Max Homa would have another season filled with victories and strong finishes. However, the American struggled throughout the season, recording only three top-10 finishes. He also missed three cuts and finished 46th in the FedEx Cup standings.
