Over the next 12 days, the two presenters on our new ‘Across The Pond’ podcast, Matt Vincenzi and Jason Daniels give their 12 players to follow for 2022 to coincide with the 12 days of Christmas.

None so far have won on their respective tours, so here’s to a long-term watch and investment!

5. Greyson Sigg (PGA Tour)

There were a host of second-season players to put up, and the temptation was to put up Taylor Pendrith, who looks certain to make his name over the next few months thanks to enormous driving.

However, I’m always taken with those with a touch of feel about their game, and 26-year-old Greyson Sigg could be the next Georgia Bulldog to put his name against a trophy.

There is no coincidence that that particular university has a production line of quality golfers – indeed, eight took part in the latest U.S Open at Torrey Pines and nine in the FedEx playoffs – and coach Chris Haack clearly does a great job. He’ll no doubt repeat that with Sigg, his future son-in-law.

Haack makes his players work for their place in a team, and Sigg told PGATour.com that ”you learn to find yourself and what you like to do at a young age, so when you come out of college, you’re ready to go do a Monday qualifier and (used to) having to shoot eight under to get through.”

Having led the Bulldogs’ scoring average in 2017, Sigg played on the Mackenzie (Canadian) tour for three seasons, recording eleven top-10 finishes in 38 starts, the best being a third-placed finish at the GolfBC Championship when a final round 59 launched him up from a tied-35th overnight.

A naturally straight hitter, Sigg has worked on his short game over the years, and the last two years on the Korn Ferry Tour have produced eight top-10s, a runner-up at the 2020 Tour Championship (led after the second and third rounds) and, of course, the two wins at the Knoxville Open (first round 61) and in Idaho, where three rounds of 65 showed the consistency he is renowned for, rewarded with the award for 2020/21 Rookie of the Year.

Seven starts on the PGA Tour have been an education rather than a spectacular start, but four midfield finishes reads well enough. Of the missed cuts, he opened with a killer 77 at the Sanderson Farms, something he couldn’t recover from despite a second-round 69, whilst he missed the weekend in Houston by just two shots and at the RSM on the number.

He can also keep fond memories of a weekend at Torrey Pines where the experience of playing with a certain Phil Mickelson will not have gone wasted.

”Making a lot of cuts, and everyone keeps texting me great playing when I finish 30th, but I’m not exactly pleased with it and know what I need to do to get better.” Sigg to PGATour.com.

The attitude is right, the team behind him is top grade so let’s be on when he wins!

CBS’s Sunday Masters coverage slammed by golf fans

While Sunday was a dramatic day at the Masters, many golf fans were left feeling frustrated by the CBS final round coverage.

There were plenty of moments that golf fans took to social media to air their frustrations on Sunday over, including a lack of shots being shown throughout the day, being behind the live action, confusion over the approach shots of the final group on 18, and providing an angle for the winning putt where the cup couldn’t be seen.

Here’s a look at some of the criticisms that were directed at the CBS coverage throughout the day on X:

This has been a brutal broadcast for CBS. When the folks from Augusta sit down with them this year, you can bet they’ll talk about this 15 seconds where we have no idea where Rory’s ball went, and Dottie moans. #TheMasters pic.twitter.com/ak3mkpIN7V

It’s rare criticism coming in for CBS, who are usually heavily praised for their Masters coverage each year.

The surprise club Tommy Fleetwood says is key to his Masters chances

Tommy Fleetwood goes in search for the first major victory of his career again this week, with the Englishman proving to be a popular pick at Augusta National.

Fleetwood’s best showing at Augusta came back in 2024 where he finished T3, and while speaking at his pre-tournament press conference, the 35-year-old emphasized the importance of his 9-wood in his pursuit of the green jacket.

Speaking on Tuesday to media, Fleetwood said:

“It’s a great 9-wood golf course. I think it’s always been — I can’t remember when I first put like a 9-wood in or a high lofted club, but it’s a perfect like 9-wood golf course. I’ve had that in the bag for a few years.”

The Englishman continued, revealing that his strategy for the week won’t just be to hit driver off the tee as much as possible:

“Yeah, it’s funny really because I know Augusta is probably associated with being fairly forgiving off the tee in a way, so you think you can whale around driver a little bit. But I don’t necessarily think that’s always the play for me. I think there’s holes that set up really well where I can draw it with the mini driver if I’m feeling less comfortable with the driver and things like that.”

That strategy he believes will make his TaylorMade Qi10 9-wood extra critical this week in Georgia:

“The biggest thing is the 9-wood for me. If I can put myself in position on the par-5s or the 4th long par-3, like it — for me, I can’t really hit that high 4-iron, so 9-wood helps me a lot.”
