Not since Tiger Woods in 2009 has a player won six times in a PGA Tour season. In fact, not since 2017 has anyone won more than three times in a season.
Why? Because of Keith Mitchell.
Well, not Keith Mitchell, per say, but in explaining the current depth on Tour, Rory McIlroy highlighted Mitchell.
“This is a very anecdotal story, but [I] played the final round with him at Quail Hollow last season and he was leading. He was maybe one ahead of me or whatever it was. He came out and he hits it in the left bunker on 1, hits an unbelievable 7-iron to like 10 feet and holes the putt,” McIlroy recalled on Wednesday.
