2016-2017 PGA Tour Season Preview and Predictions

The 2015-2016 PGA Tour Season is winding down and it's about time to review my predictions from last year and make some new ones for this year

Successes from last years predictions

I was able to pick correctly 2 correct winners for the tournaments. I had Brandt Snedeker winning the Farmers Insurance Open and Jason Day winning the WGC Match Play

I correctly was able to pick 13 winners this year even though I did not pick the correct tournament Danny Lee, Jimmy Walker, Tony Finau, Jason Day, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Bubba Watson, Adam Scott, Jason Dufner, Hideki Matsuyama, Kevin Kisner, Charlie Hoffman, Ryan Moore.

Even though they do not have the Comeback Player of the Year Award and I was unaware of that I correctly predicted KJ Choi to have a bounceback year even though he hasn't won a tournament.

Failures from last year

I had Steven Bowditch winning a tournament. You can basically pencil Steven Bowditch in for last or close to it every tournament he plays in

I had Tiger Woods winning two tournaments including at Augusta. Tiger hasn't played all year

I had Oliver Schneiderjans winning a tournament, he did not have PGA Tour Status this year

I had Tim Clark winning a tournament this year he finished this year 205th in the Fedex Cup

I had Eddie Pepperell winning The Open, he was not even close to qualifying for The Open.
