Nick Dunlap

It was quite the rookie season for Dunlap in 2024. He started by winning in his first start of the season at the American Express. Predictably for a 20 year-old, his game fell off after that, as he likely struggled to focus after finding things so easy to come by in his first start. He spent the next few months popping up here and there, but never really leaving a mark, until late-July where he picked up win No. 2 at the Barracuda Championship. He proceeded to miss his next two cuts, but this time, he pulled himself together much more quickly when he posted a T5 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, which was a playoff event. Dunlap's ceiling could be quite high, but he set the bar pretty high for the upcoming season by winning two times in 2024. His ascent should continue this year, but it's doubtful that he can improve significantly on his 2024 numbers.
