1 PGA Tour Win

Speaking of someone who’s been playing lights out, how about the first Frenchman ever to win on the PGA Tour? Pavon won the 2024 Farmers Insurance Open in January and has been on a tear since. He has three top-10 finishes this season already and easily could have won back-to-back tournaments if the fourth day of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am didn’t get cancelled due to weather (he finished 3rd after three days). Pavon has been riding that high of his first win and has looked laser-sharp in every tournament. Every aspect of his game is firing right now and you need all aspects when you are playing at TPC Sawgrass.
