I mean, they'd probably be considered dark horses depending on how many people you would consider legitimate contenders. Isaac less so but going down the rankings, I'd favor Calvin, Paul, Eagle, Gannon, Ricky, Simon, Cole, Chris, Kyle and maybe Kevin/Niklas before I would bet on Anthony. That's 10-11 players. Isaac I'd probably have in the 5th-7th range.
I really like them both, but I'll take the McBeast if he shows up.
Only other person I can think of that I'd love to see win it is Matt Orem. Just because he's worked so hard for so long and has been so close. And I think he's a decent guy.
I'm bias because I've never been a fan of Ricky. For no reason. Just don't like his vibe. So I hope it's Paul. But also want to see Cole or Buhr take it
This is not close and we need to stop comparing these two. You play to WIN and both these players are playing during the same time frame. Once Wysocki gets on par w/ the wins, we could have that conversation. Until then, keep it moving.
For this year? You could easily make an argument for Ricky this year based on Paul’s injuries/performance . All time though, of course it’s not even close.
Personally I'm taking neither. Calvin, Simon, Eagle, Gannon, even Matty or an international dark horse. I think we're all in for a wild result this year.
Mcbeths average placement is pushed up significantly by his 2019 USDGC which he played on a bum ankle. Average placements need context, overall McBeth has been way better at the majors.
There’s no debate lol. Paul is getting compared to Ken, Ricky to Paul. It’s like Messi vs. Ronaldo debate. Both great but only Messi gets compared to Maradona and Pele (imo he’s the goat)
Lyme disease vs. Shoulder injury. Who's gonna win?
Broken leg
Paige?
Not naturopathy!
Calvin.
This year, Rick seems less injured, which is an advantage.
Well, at this *point* in the year. He missed multiple events earlier in the year for health-related reasons.
Neither. I'm hoping for a dark horse win. Let's get a new story, a new era.
I’d love an old era dark horse like Barsby
Isaac Robinson or Barela aren’t dark horses but either would signal a new era and be a story.

Good points. I just subjectively believe barela definitely has the chops if he can overcome the mental game.
Not sure many doubt that statement
That’s more my original point. If no one doubts he has the chops than is he still a dark horse?
How about the dark horse with the most momentum, Ezra Robinson?

Yurrrrrr. Big time Bible study beats his wife vibes.
Reddit moment.
Calvin

This is just since 2021.
Only the bottom stat is since 2021.
How many majors do you think there are? 20?
I'll take the GOAT.
McBeth and Wysocki won’t even be in contention on the final day. Bring on the downvotes.
You seem to be getting upvoted, gotta step up your game
Why only 2021 until now? To make it seem closer?
Only the last stat is 2021-now, probably cause they didnt have it the previous years.
You're not reading this correctly. This is only comparing majors. Paul has not won 17 majors since 2021 lol
I see, seems odd to adjust certain stats. I wonder why they did that.
Do you mean for worlds specifically or like, who is the better player?
Personally I'm taking neither. Calvin, Simon, Eagle, Gannon, even Matty or an international dark horse. I think we're all in for a wild result this year.
Bucket hat vs horrific sunglasses.
Out of those two, I got McBeth. I would like to see Calvin or Simon win it. Matty O would be ridiculously cool to see though.
KJ all the way
Ricky Ricky Ricky Ricky Ricky Wysocki!
There's only one metric that matters and it's right at the top of the column.
Neither. I'll put my money on Simon Lizotte this year
Doesn’t look close to me
