Season Grades: Scheffler Dominates, Spieth Implodes and Thomas Searches

The Tour Championship is behind us and, except for the Presidents Cup and a couple one-off appearances in lower-tier events, golf’s top stars are shutting things down until 2025.

Like it did last year, the retooled FedEx Cup season starts in January instead of the fall. While Korn Ferry Tour players, journeymen and others battle for status on the big Tour, the top guys rest until the new year.

That makes it a great moment to look back at this year to take stock of where some of the game’s best currently stand. I know LIV is not finished with the year but I think we have more than enough results to hand out some grades.

Here is a ranking of 15 star players (on the PGA Tour or LIV) and how they fared in 2024. If I didn’t feel they qualify for “star status” I left them off the list.

1. Scottie Scheffler (A+)

The only letdown for Scheffler is that he only came away with one major victory.

Our Favorite Golf Gear for Sun Protection

The Skin Cancer Foundation states that five or more sunburns double your risk for melanoma. Playing golf can leave you on the course for four or more hours each time, which is a lot of exposure. Sunscreen is good but there is more you can do to protect yourself on the golf course. Here’s some of our favorite golf gear for sun protection.

Sun Mountain SMS+ Umbrella

The Sun Mountain SMS+ umbrella tied for first in the best UV protection category in our 2023 Golf Umbrella testing and finished fifth overall. 

Our testers didn’t love the handle on the SMS+ umbrella. Outside of that, the umbrella performed quite well. The Sun Mountain SMS+ features reflective material that blocks harmful UV rays.

If you are having trouble finding the Sun Mountain umbrella or the price is a bit steep, try the Haas-Jordan Sunflector. Its UV protection is equally as good.

Shelta Seahawk Hat

The Shelta Seahawk is a great hat for sun protection. It’s not a traditional golf hat, as this is more of a bucket style, but the design will give you more neck and ear protection from the sun.

Best Golf Gadgets Under $100

If you love golf gadgets and want to add something to enhance your game or help you enjoy your time on the course, here are some of our favorites. Each is priced under $100.

Orange Whip

The Orange Whip has become nearly as popular as a golf alignment stick. This is one of our favorite training aids among staff members. It’s great for warming up before a round, building muscle memory and creating a smoother and better golf swing.

Dr. Scholl’s

Dr.Scholl’s has a few products that could pass for golf gadgets.

You can use Dr.Scholl’s spray on your clubface to help determine where you are striking the ball. Keep your golf shoes smelling better and your strikes more accurate with the same spray!

Golf Impact Tape

Golf impact tape is an adhesive strip you put on your irons, woods or putter to show where the ball contacts the clubface. If you struggle with inconsistency in your strikes, putting a little impact tape on the club can help you resolve some issues.

FootJoy Pro/SLX BOA Golf Shoe Review

What We Tried:

FootJoy Pro/SLX BOA – the latest version of FootJoy’s flagship spikeless golf shoe.

Who Tried It:

Tony. Editorial Director at MyGolfSpy and a firm believer that spikes are the way.

Aesthetics

Because this is a BOA design, let’s get this out of the way first.

Frankly, it’s silly we have to talk about this stuff, given that golf shoes serve an actual purpose. (FYI, that purpose isn’t to make you feel like you’re trendy AF, Connor.) That said, for those who are oft offended by the modern design and superior performance of BOA-enabled designs, I suspect the FootJoy Pro/SLX will be among the least objectionable.

The Pro/SLX offers a single BOA dial and a simple design that looks more like laces than the flaps systems found in many recent models. Frankly, if FootJoy and BOA had seen fit to thread the TX6 textile lace underneath or maybe even through a traditional lace, heel dial notwithstanding, not even Jacques Slade would likely notice.
